Tonight is Monday night football, a much loved night for football lovers. I am, of course, a New England Patriots fan, but I have a confession to make.... I am also a New York Giants fan! One of my former students, Rosalie Cincotta, is married to The Giants #77 Kevin Boothe. Joe and I were lucky to attend their wedding, and have loved watching Kevin become the fabulous player he is today.
Football means pickies! A chicken wing gets hot when you turn it on. One of my husbands favorite finger food is my chicken wings. They are easy, but delicious!!! Give them a try at your next football party. Make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand. They are sticky, gooey goodness!
