KAYLA BRYAN WATCH PARTY EATS I t’s March and you know what that means…March Madness! For those of you who don’t know, March Madness is the NCAA Division I basketball tournament. It is a singleelimination tournament of 68 teams that compete in seven rounds for the national championship. The final round is known as the Final Four, so only four lucky teams are left. Of course here at The University of Alabama, we’re a championship school. Therefore, we have to celebrate. March Madness isn’t March Madness without some delicious game day eats. Food options will vary at every socially distanced watch party. Chicken wings and fries are the popular food option for many; however, it never hurts to try something new. Let’s dive into some tasty and fun recipes that you can make with your family and friends. Even if cooking isn’t your specialty, trying new recipes can offer new and exciting memories. Here are some game day recipes that can easily be whipped up in the kitchen! BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP The first thing on the menu is buffalo chicken dip. This dip is perfect for game days. It’s hot, cheesy, and spicy. What more could you ask for? DIRECTIONS: First, preheat the oven to 425°F. Then, get some shredded rotisserie chicken. Mix the shredded chicken with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, scallions, and — of course — buffalo sauce. Once that is all good, place it in the oven until it is nice and bubbly, taking no more than ten minutes. HOMEMADE QUESO OR GUACAMOLE The next dip on the menu is queso or guacamole. These two recipes are virtually the same, one just has cheese and the other just has guacamole. 53 NINETEEN FIFTY-SIX MAGAZINE
LIFESTYLE Pre-made guacamole and queso from the store are easy and just as good, but nothing is better than a fresh dip. Pre-made guacamole and queso from the store are easy and just as good, but nothing is better than a fresh dip. DIRECTIONS: For the queso, you’ll want some cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, cayenne pepper, and cilantro. Sautee everything first to get the most of your seasoning then add in the cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts. For the guacamole, you’ll want avocados, lime juice, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Get all those ingredients and mash them up together until it is a nice paste. Now to the real food. Watch parties come with a variety of different meals depending on the appetites of the people attending. Finger foods are the best food option because you can eat and still socialize while watching the game. Some good recipes include pizza and of course chicken wings. HOMEMADE PIZZA When it comes to pizza, feel free to add whatever toppings you or the crowd likes. The best part about making pizza from scratch is everyone can come together to help out. Pizza dough is also pretty simple to make, surprisingly! DIRECTIONS: Follow this step-by-step recipe to get the best results. Combine bread flour, sugar, yeast, and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. While the mixer is running, add water and two tablespoons of oil. Beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour in one tablespoon increments until the dough forms into a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water in one tablespoon increments. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball. After your dough is all good to go, grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and put it in a warm area to allow it to double in size for about an hour. Lay the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each piece with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes. Add the pizza sauce and toppings then pop it into the oven at 475°F for 10-15 minutes. CHICKEN WINGS Chicken wings are also easy to make, especially if you own a fancy air fryer! You just need some frozen chicken wings and seasoning of your choice. DIRECTIONS: If you want breaded wings, get some eggs and flour. Then, dip each wing in that mixture and drop the wings in oil or stick them in an air fryer. Traditional (non-breaded) wings are typically the watch party favorites. Follow the steps above without adding eggs or flour. Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, it’s time to eat. Regardless of your plans for March Madness, these recipes are sure to come in handy! They are fun and easy to cook and will also make your taste buds smile. As always, you can add your own twist to any of these recipes. Just make sure to enjoy the good times. SPRING 2021 54
