Grab your apron! Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and you know what that means — an excuse to indulge in your favorite game day foods.
Whether you’re cooking for an at-home get together or choosing a dish to bring over to a friend’s place, Top Chef contestant Adrienne Cheatham has you covered with her spicy BBQ chicken wing recipe.
From start to finish the recipe takes a total of — wait for it — only 40 minutes. A mere 10-minute prep time and cooking time of 30 minutes. That way you’ll be back on the couch enjoying your wings in no time!
New York-based Cheatham got her start in the food industry spending time in the kitchens and dining rooms of the Chicago restaurants her mother managed.
As if she didn’t already have a full plate, while studying business and journalism at Florida A&M University, the season 15 contestant started a dessert catering company. Post-graduation, she worked her way through kitchens from Orlando to the Gulf of Mexico.
Fast forward to 2018 and Cheatham is now a member of Schwan’s Chef Collective. The group is made up of chefs from top restaurants, food trucks, cookbook authors and personalities from TV shows who scout for innovative ways to cook and create new foods.
