It has been a tradition in the United States for people to gather in social settings to watch professional football for over half a century. In 1967, the league held their first ever Super Bowl. Ever since then, the game has become much more than a championship match-up; it has become an unofficial national holiday. A television audience that numbers well into the hundreds of millions gather together at parties big and small to watch the game, and consume a copious amount of beverages, snacks, pizza, and more types of dinner food than can be possibly imagined. Among these foods are chicken wings, which are easy to make either in a conventional oven, a deep fryer, or even in a microwave.
