I already know some of you guys’ taste buds are suspect so if you don’t agree with my rankings blame yourself not me.

We know that the Super Bowl get-togethers will and should look a little bit different this year considering the United States is still dealing with a global pandemic that has killed over 460,000 people. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy some of the same foods that we normally enjoy on arguably the biggest sports day of the year.

For many people, wings are the No. 1 Game Day food. Pizza, Rotel dip, and chips and salsa are all up there, but you’d have to be smoking something if you don’t have wings in your game-day rotation. And even then you have to have the best types of wings.

You can go ahead and eliminate the flavors that are always doing the most like Garlic Parmesan and Sriracha. If you are bringing those flavors to your Super Bowl party you might as well go ahead and block me now.

Other flavors like Mango Habanero and Chipotle were honorable mentions for this list but ultimately I couldn’t put them in the final cut.

After a lot of thought, I have narrowed down my wing flavors to these top five flavors that are needed for your Super Bowl meal.

Note: All wings should be eaten with Ranch and Ranch only, if you eat with Bleu Cheese dip you probably have deeper issues that need to be addressed.
