Since I dont have a private jet or a tree that grows money and couldnt fly to Georgia to watch the game I decided to have a little get together at my house and make some amazing football insiped food.
We had enough food to feed an ARMY!!
BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwhiches
Delicious Chicken Dip
Home Made Salsa
Veggie Trays
Margarita Cupcakes
I chose to do BBQ pulled chicken sandwhiches over pulled pork because I had mass amounts of chicken from costco so I figured I would save some money and use what I have...However, I believe you can use the same sauce over pork if you like it better.
