“When your Super Bowl guests arrive, they should find a mound of potato chips large enough to conceal a pony sitting in front of the television. For nutritional balance, you should also put out a bowl of carrot sticks. If you have no carrot sticks, you can use pinecones, or used electrical fuses, because nobody will eat them anyway. This is no time for nutritional balance: This is the Super Bowl, for God's sake.” – Dave Barry

Chicken Riggies - just made some last weekend.

[Hoodat]

Since I no longer have a horse in the race, I will offer my unbiased prediction. Ravens win.

Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

[Joe 6-pack]

General Joe's Chicken:

Start with about two pounds of boneless chicken breasts.

Get one packet of McCormick Grill Mates Mesquite marinade mix and one jar of McCormick's Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (No, I don't work for, nor receive royalties from McCormick's.)

Cut the chicken into fingers, about 1" x 1" x 3-4".

Prepare the marinade with the manufacturer's instructions, and liberally add some McCormick Jamaican Jerk seasoning and a few dashes of Tobasco to taste. The instructions generically say to use "1/4 cup of oil." I've found that olive oil or peanut oil work better than regular vegetable oil.

Soak the chicken in the marinade (refrigerated) for about 24 hours, then prepare on a grill. I normally use a George Foreman and get terrific results as it seems to seal a lot of the moisture into the chicken by simultaneously grilling on both sides. An outdoor grill will do fine, but you're not really gaining anything since the mesquite already has a wonderful smokiness to it.

On a George Foreman it takes about 3-4 minutes, and your General Joe's chicken fingers are ready to go!

Crab Dip: serve w/crackers &/or raw veggies.

1 can of crab meat (get the one that says “claw meat”, tuna can size)any brand..
Drain the crab meat and add to cheese spread/dip, I get either Allouette or Boursin brand of their veggie cheese spread 5 or 6 oz size.
Mix it up and then add a little celery salt to taste...it’s best if you make it ahead and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.
It is so easy...and yummy....enjoy!!!!!
