It simply isn’t Super Bowl Sunday without a towering mountain of wings on the table. But you don’t have to stick to classic Buffalo sauce to get your fix—or to please your party guests (although we’ll never get sick of its buttery, spicy flavor).

Let’s kick things off with a twist on the O.G., shall we? We love this recipe because it allows you to skip the messy frying. Instead, you’ll roast the chicken, then douse it in an amped-up hot wing sauce.

The sauce is as simple as spiking melted butter with homemade everything bagel seasoning (which makes the dish virtually carb-free), although you could easily substitute store-bought to save time.

Vegetarians on the guest list? They'll be thrilled to see these plant-based alternatives on the menu. Cutting the cauli into florets gives the "wings" a similar shape to the real thing.

Bust out the grill pan to give everyone a taste of summer in the dead of winter. There’s also a secret ingredient that’s essential to the zingy marinade’s punchy flavor: pickle brine.

The air fryer helps these wings achieve a crackly, crispy crust in 20 minutes, but you can bake them in the oven instead for about twice as long, until the wings’ internal temperature hits 165°F and the juices run clear when poked with a knife.

Spicy, sweet, tangy and downright addictive. Coat the wings in baking powder for maximum crispness, or cornstarch for a boost of flavor.

Even a vampire would risk his eternal life to sink his fangs into these. The sauce calls for garlic powder, but we might just swap in roasted garlic instead if we're feeling fancy.

The wings technically only need two hours to marinate, but letting them sit overnight will make them even more flavorful. Finish the chicken with a spritz of lime and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
