Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking tray with baking paper or lightly oiled surface
• Oven
• Cutting board and knife
• Serving platter or large flat plate
• Small bowls for dips and sauces

Step 1: Prepare and Season the Chicken Wings

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
3. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the cooking oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl.
5. Toss or mix with clean hands or utensils until all wings are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
6. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking tray, leaving a small gap between pieces.

Step 2: Bake the Wings

1. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
2. Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven.
3. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the tray and use tongs to flip each wing.
4. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the skin looks browned and the meat appears cooked through.
5. If you prefer a more browned surface, you can bake for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 3: Prepare Vegetables and Dips

1. While the wings are baking, wash the carrots, celery, and cherry tomatoes under running water.
2. Peel the carrots if preferred, then cut them into uniform sticks about 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) long.
3. Trim the ends of the celery stalks and cut them into sticks similar in size to the carrot sticks.
4. Place the ranch or yogurt dip into a small serving bowl.
5. Place the salsa into another small serving bowl.
6. Set the bowls aside in the refrigerator until assembly.

Step 4: Sauce the Wings

1. When the wings appear fully cooked, remove the tray from the oven and let the wings rest for 3–5 minutes.
2. In a clean large bowl, add the barbecue sauce and, if using, the hot sauce.
3. Transfer the warm wings into the bowl with the sauce.
4. Toss or stir until all wings are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
5. Taste one wing if desired to check the sauce level and adjust by adding more barbecue sauce or hot sauce as preferred.

Step 5: Assemble the Super Bowl Snack Plate

1. Place the coated wings in a pile or arranged in a circle on one side or in the center of the serving platter.
2. Arrange the carrot sticks and celery sticks in separate sections on the platter.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes in a small cluster or line around the edge of the platter.
4. Place the bowls of ranch (or yogurt dip) and salsa on or next to the platter.
5. Fill the remaining space on the platter, or a separate bowl, with tortilla chips.
6. Set the finished snack plate on a stable surface near where people will be watching the game, along with small plates and napkins if desired.

Step 6: Serving and Storage

1. Serve the snack plate soon after assembly so that the wings and chips keep their intended texture.
2. If there are leftover wings, cool them to room temperature, then store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
3. Store leftover vegetables and dips separately in sealed containers in the refrigerator.
4. Follow standard home food storage practices and use leftovers within a commonly accepted time frame for cooked poultry and prepared vegetables in your region.
