Next to pizza and hot dogs, Fried Chicken is a fan favorite. And I've come up with a crunchy coating that will empty the bleachers and have fans storming the kitchen! Just check out my Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe (and substitute whole chicken pieces for skinless and boneless from my recipe, if you like.)
Fans will take a half-time break and huddle around your cast iron pot of my fragrant and spicy Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya and Cajun Gumbo. Or, go straight up the middle with a tray of BBQ Pulled Pork sammies.

For my visitors who have never been to the Seattle Seahawks home field, take a few minutes to view my travelogue & wacky video diaries from my cooking episode for Seattle's Public Television -- plus, here are a couple recipes for Washington state's main seafood export: Salmon Olympiaand budget Salmon Burgers.
If fish is on your mind, then hook your bleacher bums with some of my homemade Sushi Recipes. Try tackling a Spicy Tuna or California Roll. How about setting up a sideline station of chopped veggies and fresh fish, and roll your own deliciousHand Rolls? It's easier than you think, and I have simple photo-illustrated instructions a click away, here.
I have a slew of Salsas to go with your tortilla chips on game day, including Ancho Chili,Mango, Tomatillo, and Red Chili. I like bottled salsas, but if you are going for the big win, then click on any recipe name to see the original blog post text and photo illustrations.
I've been making fruit-based Salsas recently, includingPeach, Mango, Pineapple, and Kiwi Salsas. They are sweet, cool, and spicy. I brought my Mango Salsa to a few parties, and it is always a hit and goes very fast so make plenty!
East Coast revelers for the New England Patriots will eat up my riff on a Lobster Roll -- a cheaper Scallop Roll. And if their fans can't make it to Phoenix for game day, then throw another log on the fire and gather in front of the big screen with a steaming bowl of my cheap$kate Clam Chowder.
Looking for a sneak-play recipe? How about a different twist on Buffalo Wings with my African Spiced Water Buffalo Wings? This original recipe features chicken legs, but you can substitute wings. The Cheap$kate Chef'sTurkey & Black Beans Chili recipe will add extra points on your scoreboard for flavor. Make it spicy, but be sure to have an ice chest full of brews for all your bench-warming guests. And don't forget to send in from The Whisk Welding Coach a most versatile of plated plays, the Pita Pizza -- a varied list of toppings you can use would fill the coach's chalkboard.

The NFC Conference Champions, , are up against the AFC Conference Champs, Kansas City ChiefsforSuperbowl 59. My recipe list below has local food spins according to both cities. The lineup for the Philadelphia Eaglesfeatures sandwiches and seafood, and for the Kansas City Chiefsit's all about beef and pork!
Before I get to the recipes, here is a short I made in the New Orleans Superdome, home to this year's Super Bowl LIX. The video is a quick food search for the Best Po-Boy Sandwich, oh boy!
So if you are looking for regular eats for your Superbowl Party, I got your halfback, I mean, back. There are no fumbles in this recipe list! 99 Thanks go to my local Dollar Tree. Hey, I even find 99-cent deals at regular grocery stores andethnic markets, so all the bases, I mean, the whole field is covered.
Sandwiches are on the menu in Philadelphia. My wife, Linda, is from Pennsylvania so now I get to crow about Philadelphia, "The City of Brotherly Love". Check out my slideshow of our visit to Independence Hall, a Philly Cheesesteak, Happy Hour...and more!
I never had a real Cheesesteak or a Hoagie Sandwich until I visited Pennsylvania. There is a large Italian presence in Philadelphia, and a Hoagie is an Italian Deli Sandwich. I made a cheap$teak version below that will have your friends blitzing to tackle one.
Philadelphia's other revolutionary sandwich is a Cheesesteak. It's simply grilled chopped steak, topped with melty cheese, and stuffed into a bread roll...soooo gooood. I haven't done my video version yet, so do check back when I do a Hail Mary pass to you - it's on my bucket list.
I love BBQ, and so do Kansas City footballers. A Rack of Ribs is easy and extra succulent when done the 99 Cent Chef way. All I do is season them with a dry rub and coat them in a fave BBQ sauce, wrap them in foil, then bake them for 3 to 4 hours until fall-apart tender, that's it. You can smoke them your way once they are baked tender, like I do right here. My high-scoring recipe below usesPork Spareribs, but meatyBeef Ribscan be used as well.
Philadelphia Eagles fans are swimming in seafood,bordering on the Delaware River and the nearby Atlantic Ocean. And man, do I have a touchdown spike of a sammie for you, I call a Scallop Roll. This recipe is so scrumptious that it was featured on the Huffington Post website! Click here to see the write-up. Lobster meat breaks the bank, while scallops are tender and a tasty, cheap substitution I find in the frozen deli case. One small 4-ounce package is enough for a Scallop Rollor two.
Scallop Roll
Blue Crab rules in Philadelphia. Now I can't afford to use crab in my recipes, but I've found that imitation crab does the job for this Bottom Feeder Chef. Krab, or imitation crab, is a cooked fish blend that has the texture and taste of lump crabmeat. It may not be for the pescatarian purist, but I've grown to love it.
Fake Crab
I offer to my Eagle subjects the majestic Krab Louis Saladmade with royal fake krab, of course. This king of salads also has asparagus, plus cheap iceberg lettuce, tomato, a hard-boiled egg, and is topped with my Homemade Thousand Island Dressing. Of course, use real lump Blue Crab...if you just got a first pick draftsigning bonus and can afford it!
My nephew, Chef Matt, has cooked in many Louisiana restaurants. He has a chillin' Crab Saladrecipe that is made with real crab meat. Check his recipe for an extra point conversion.
I'll be planted on the couch in Los Angeles for the big game. This West Coast fan favorite is aCalifornia Roll. Like a stadium wave, this California spin on Japanese sushi has traveled to grocery deli cases all around the country. And I substitute cheap imitation crab so you can punt the big bucks on usually expensive crabmeat.
Bagels are an East Coast thing, and it's all about Bagel Spreads. I really got into visiting my wife's Philadelphia and New York City friends and family. Check out some of the varieties of spreads in my slide show below.
Make your Bagel Spreadthe day before the Super Bowl and kick back and enjoy game day. It couldn't be easier, just let Philadelphia Cream Cheese reach room temperature to soften and add a chopped boiled egg or two for a delicious Spread. I like my Bagels toasted. Keep the Chopped Egg Spread refrigerated if stored overnight.
The most expensive spread is a cured Salmon Lox Spread. I get around that by substituting a less expensive can of drained salmon (similar to canned tuna) instead of budget-busting Lox. The recipe is the same as above, just mix in canned salmon with softened cream cheese. My cheap$kate Salmon Spread is a Vince Lombardi Trophy winner!
Another meaty meal is a big bowl of Kansas-style Chili. Simple is best, and if a hot bowl ofHomemade Chiliand a mug of icy cold beer are what you crave on game day, then you've come to the right place.
What's great about Chili is it can stay on the stovetop on low heat the whole gameday! Go ahead and add a can or two of black, pinto, or red beans to the chili pot at the end of cooking for a more filling chili bowl. I like to top mine with chopped onion, shredded cheese, and crunchy Fritos Corn Chips!
Anybody can make a Hot Dog right? If you have a concession stand fave, set out the toppings while the weenies steam or saute and let the grandstanders build their own. Here is a favorite of mine in the video below. I use chili from the can and sauerkraut from a jar -- use what you got or can easily get.
If game day is snowy and cold in Philadelphia, then throw another log on the fire and gather in front of the big screen with a steaming bowl of my cheap$kate Clam Chowder. Philly fans will throw off their warming blankets, peel off their gloves, and line up for a big bowl. And serve it in a hollowed-out loaf of sourdough bread for extra points!
You gotta serve BBQ Pork if you are a Chiefsfan, right? I have the perfect recipe for you, a succulent and smoky BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich recipe that is fumble-proof. I usually just add pickle and sliced onion, but my Homemade Coleslaw goes on it, too, or as a side dish. My recipe is easy and cheap to make, of course. Just check out the video below or click here to see all the tasty recipe details.
Also, you can start with a double-reverse flea-flicker of a recipe called Carnitas. Hours of braising reduce a pork shoulder to a tender and succulent Mexican-style taco or burrito filling. Carnitasare what I order for late-night noshing at a taco truck.
Weave through the living room backfield with a pile of Mexican Carnitas Tacos (slow-cooked pork) and you'll be lucky to make it through without being sacked!
Scrapple is a thing in Philadelphia. Made from flour, cornmeal, pork offal, and meat scraps - it's pungent enough to crack the Liberty Bell. Scrapple is cooked, so it's heated and then served as an addition to a typical American breakfast. Scotland has something similar calledHaggis made with sheep offal instead of pork.
I guess Spam is similar, but made with ham pieces. Spam is milder and way less funky in flavor.
Go straight up the middle with a tray of Teriyaki Spam Musubi. This Hawaiian specialty combines good old American canned Spam with Japanese sushi. My easy-to-follow recipe will have your guests eating out of your hands...down!
And here are more recipes for Game Day, just read on and click on your faves, some familiar and some, like the next one, uniquely a 99 Cent Chef game changer.
Serve my most outrageous Hot Dog recipe, the LAStreetDog-- a freeway pileup of flavors that make an end-run around any foot-long out there.
Simplest is best, and I like a hot dog with just mustard and pickle relish. One trick I learned watching local wiener wranglers work is to steam the bun like I show below.
When your guests rush through the patio gate, have a bowl ofChips and Salsa to greet them. Now you can just set out a jar of cheap Pace Chunky Salsa or go for extra points with my Mango Salsa Recipe.
All football fans love Pizza on game day. You can avoid the delivery charge from Domino's or Shakey's Pizza and make your own cheaply with my recipe that uses pre-made cooked pizza crusts from the Dollar Tree store.
What's great about making Individual Pizzas is that everyone can add the ingredients they favor. I like anchovies and an egg on mine -- I know no one else would order that one!
Just set out a stack of individual store-bought pizza crusts and bowls of pepperoni, shredded cheese, black olives, fresh basil leaves, cooked Italian sausage, and a fave jar of marinara sauce -- you get the picture. And it only takes 10 minutes or so in a hot oven, and they are done! Click here to see how I make them.
Next to pizza and hot dogs, Fried Chicken is a favorite finger food, and no one fries chicken better than this Cheap$kate Game Changer.

Before I get to the recipes, here is a short I made in Las Vegas, home to this year's Super Bowl LIV. I made the video a while ago. The video starts with a quick food tour (man, have prices changed in a dozen years), then on to a gold nugget gambling story, oh boy!

I love BBQ, and so do Kansas City footballers. And the local BBQ sauce is tomato-based just the way I like it, too. If you have a fave BBQ sauce recipe, then use it - Out here in L.A., we have Newman's Own that was carried in my localDollar Tree - talk about a big score!
A baked Rack of Ribs is easy and extra succulent the 99 Cent Chef way.

Fake Crab
I offer to my 49er comrades the mighty Krab Louie Saladmade with fantastic fake krab, of course. Originating in San Francisco (or Oregon, as some claim), this king of salads also has asparagus, plus cheap iceberg lettuce, tomato, a hard-boiled egg, and is topped with my Homemade Thousand Island Dressing. Of course, use real lump crab...if you can afford it!
This West Coast fan favorite is aCalifornia Roll. Like a stadium wave, this California spin on Japanese sushi has traveled to grocery deli cases all around the country. And I substitute cheap imitation crab so you will save big bucks on usually expensive crabmeat.
