Description
When you can't make it to the actual game for an authentic tailgating experience, these are the type of recipes that remind you why, sometimes, it's not so bad to kick back and homegate.
Homemade Hummus
It's the dip you don't know how much you love until it's put in front of your face. And it's super simple to blend up a batch ... or three.
Chipotle Turkey Sliders
Rather than serving full-blown burgers at your homegate, put out a tray of lighter turkey sliders. Usually, there's more than enough sides to round things out.
Better-for-You Boneless Chicken Bites
These deliciously juicy chicken bites are reason enough to get an Air Fryer.
