Super Bowl Snack Recipe: Spiced Chicken Wings With Florida Citrus Dip

Super Bowl 2017 is mere days away, set for Sunday, Feb. 5 in Houston. Whether you are hosting a get-together or invited to a party, you NEED a wow-'em dish.

So grab your Florida lemons, limes and oranges. And who doesn't love chicken wings? Patch snagged a novel recipe with citrusy dip, courtesy of Restaurant Business, a leading food-service publication, that could bring your game to a whole new level with the addition of a select spice!

"Instead of the usual Buffalo variation, introduce ... a wing spiced with achiote," the publication states. "The ingredient, derived from annatto seeds, is essential in Filipino cooking — a cuisine that’s trending in foodservice operations this year. For this chicken wing recipe, the achiote is balanced with citrus and heated up with chili flakes."

The recipe kudos go to Chef Richard Radcliffe of Occidental Ridge Vineyard in St. Helena, Ca. Enjoy!

1 tbsp. lime zest
1 tbsp. lemon zest
1⁄4 tsp. cumin
1⁄2 tsp. pepper
