Make Game Day Great With Grillo’s & My Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffle Skewers

This post is sponsored by Grillo’s. All comments and opinions are my own.

On busy weeks, sometimes we walk in the door right before game time. Instead of spending a ton of time cooking dinner AND making a bunch of snacks, I whip up a few heavy snacks that we can enjoy as a meal while we kick back and watch the game.

One of the most requested additions to our game day menu is a big batch of Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffle Skewers. Every bite offers up a combination of sweet and savory that tastes absolutely amazing. And you can enjoy one or two as a snack or pile a few on a plate for a hearty and satisfying meal… no fork needed!

While these do pack a kick, it’s not the kind of spice that is overpowering or painful. The addition of the salty Grillo’s Pickles with the sweetness of the syrup really tempers the heat, making for a great flavor combination. In fact, my teenage boys really enjoy this dish, even my oldest who isn’t a big fan of spicy foods.

I love this recipe for the taste and how easy it is to prepare. Just pick up some chicken tender from the Publix Deli, some Publix Waffles and a container of those delicious Grillo’s Pickle Chips. Then you prep your hot sauce and you are in business!

Whip up a batch for game day or just serve up as a quick and delicious breakfast OR dinner! Plus, you can save some moolah on your next purchase at Publix with the digital coupon.
