From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.<\/p>\n
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.<\/p>\n
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.<\/p>\n

Millions of Americans will be glued to TV screens as they root for their preferred team: the New England Patriots or the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n
While the game is the main attraction, the day wouldn\u2019t be complete without beloved Super Bowl staples such as buffalo wings and chips and dips.<\/p>\n
These are six simple recipes you can make to ensure your Super Bowl party is enjoyable and delicious – just don\u2019t forget the refreshments. <\/p>\n
According to the National Chicken Council, Americans will consume 1.45bn chicken wings on game day.<\/p>\n
While the choice of buffalo, BBQ, or teriyaki is up to you, the main ingredients you\u2019ll need for the quintessential Super Bowl meal are chicken wings, unsalted butter, garlic and salt. <\/p>\n
And while a deep fryer is a handy appliance for preparing wings, or reheating them, it\u2019s not necessary \u2013 as this easy recipe simply requires steaming the wings and then placing them in the oven. <\/p>\n

You can find a recipe for the wings here. <\/p>\n
Super Bowl parties are mostly about foods you can eat with your hands \u2013 which is why chips and dips are also popular go-to choices. Although guacamole or salsa alone are suitable options, a seven-layer dip is an even better choice \u2013 as it combines them both.<\/p>\n
Seven-layer dip typically includes refried beans, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives and is made by layering the ingredients on top of one another. <\/p>\n
If you wanted to upgrade the dish, which can be served hot or cold, you can add jalapenos for some spice or serve the dip in individual cups for each guest. <\/p>\n

No Super Bowl party would be a success without mini hot dogs wrapped in pastry dough, otherwise known as pigs in a blanket.<\/p>\n
If you wanted to make your own rather than purchasing them from the store, all you need is crescent rolls, mini cocktail weiners and melted butter or oil.<\/p>\n
Simply wrap the mini hot dogs in individual crescent wrappers and place them on a baking sheet, before cooking them in the oven until they\u2019re golden brown. You can serve with sides of mustard and ketchup. <\/p>\n

Follow this recipe for party-ready pigs in a blanket.<\/p>\n
In addition to an excellent comfort food for cold-weather days, chili is also great for game day \u2013 as it is relatively quick and easy to make a lot of.<\/p>\n
For Super Bowl Sunday, you can follow this beef chili recipe, which includes onions, a bottle of lager, three types of chilis and fire-roasted crushed tomatoes. <\/p>\n
Finish by topping with anything from shredded cheese to sliced avocado and be sure to serve toasted bread alongside. <\/p>\n

Seven-layer dip isn\u2019t the only reason chips are a Super Bowl requirement, as spinach and artichoke dip is also a popular choice when it comes to game day snacks.<\/p>\n
To make the dip, you\u2019ll need spinach, salt, oil, shallots, garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, artichoke hearts and parmesan cheese. After combining all the ingredients, all you need to do is bake the dish in the oven until the dip has a golden brown layer. <\/p>\n

Even with a plethora of wings, a Super Bowl Sunday menu would be lacking without a football-themed dessert such as cupcakes.<\/p>\n
To make cupcakes perfect for the highly anticipated game, all it requires is a little creativity when it comes to the icing.<\/p>\n

If you want to take the cupcakes to the next level, you can mix green food colouring with the vanilla icing to create \u201cgrass\u201d around the footballs. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019d rather not make the cupcakes from scratch, you can simply use your favourite cake mix or brownie recipe and decorate with chocolate and vanilla icing accordingly. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
