It is Saturday, and your turn to ‘cater’ to the boys during the big game. What is the easiest and most fun way to make this game day memorable and raise that bar ever so slightly for the next person? Easy, a shopping trip to Kroger for Dr Pepper® and snacks. Kroger makes it easy and fun to stock up on your favorite soft drink, Dr Pepper® and your favorite snacks. You can even grab some ingredients for some awesome finger food or appetizers. Decorate, grab team colors and other “flair”, and make things that are your personal specialty for the big game day. On our trip we spotted lots of fun stuff like Dr Pepper®, Diet Dr Pepper® and Cherry Dr Pepper®. We also saw a ton of snacks that caught our eye in the snack sections, such as Cheez-It®, Keebler® Town House® and Club® Crackers. These cover all my bases, as we have people who like sweet, salty, savory and everything in between.

Kroger is the perfect spot to stock up on any of your college football game day needs and makes shopping a breeze instead of the headache of going to multiple stores to find all your favorite items. Another way to make game day special is with themed napkins and plates. Whether it is team colors or just footballs and grass pattern. Either way it’s a great way to liven up your living room in a fun simple way. Whatever you end up doing during the next big game be sure to include Dr Pepper® in your plans, your guests will not be disappointed. So be sure to grab them at a Kroger near you.

After you do your shopping, you need to make sure that everyone gets enough good food to eat while they are watching the game. Who would have thought that you could use Dr Pepper® as more than just a choice of beverage at your Game Day Event? I have the perfect solution to everyone’s hunger that is sure to make your get together memorable and of course tasty.

Everyone knows that the typical game feast includes pizza and wings, but these are not just any wings. They are Dr Pepper® Wings that have just that little push of flavor that you won’t find any other way. This recipe is enough for 2 servings so if you want to make even more than 12 wings adjust accordingly. These wings are so easy to make! Just toss into the crockpot and set it to Low for about 6 hours in the morning, just in time for the game that afternoon.

Ingredients

12 chicken wings

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sea salt

1⁄2 tablespoon sugar

1 pinch garlic powder

1 pinch black pepper

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

12 ounces Dr Pepper®

DIRECTIONS

Mix up all the ingredients for the sauce minus the chicken wings, of course.

Put as many chicken wings as you want into the crock pot and pour your sauce over the top evenly.

Let your creation cook on low for about 4-6 hours.

Enjoy!

Now you have a game day favorite that is sure to please everyone and become a new favorite of theirs too! This recipe is so simple that you can even take it to go if you decided to do tailgating at the game instead of at home. You should be enjoying the time with family and friends before and during the game, not worrying about what’s going on in the kitchen! So relax and let the crockpot do the work for these fantastic wings and pair it with a party platter. Tailgating and Game Day done simple, right and tasty!
