Green Chicken Chili, Beer Margaritas and other great game day food

Homegating:

Tailgating with the comforts of home, Couch-TV- warmth and the kitchen sink!

You don’t have to go tailgating to make the next football game a blast.

Have a Homegating get together.

For starters there is an avocado dip in football field form, followed by Beer-Margaritas. The main dish is Green Chicken Chili, and is delicious with left over turkey. Finishing with a chocolate treat, chocolate ice cream with Chocolate Rice Krispies.

    Great menu for your homegating party. Menus like this may just start a new trend and NFL ticket sales may take a dive 🙂

    I’m craving chicken chili now! Haven’t made it in a long time. I really like the olives and the tomato “teams” on the field dip…too cute.

    Hi there. Very interesting Green Chicken Chili recipe. Do you have weights or measurements for the jalapenos and cilantro? Our garden has produced 2.5″ to +6″ jalapenos so the size will impact the overall flavor and spiciness. Also, for the cilantro do you include the stems? Thank you. 🙂

      I used the amount of cilantro pictured. I’d say chopped it’s maybe 1/4 cup. I included the stems where there were leaves. Not the bottom long stem area. The Jalapenos were about 3 inches each. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

    I realize Diane that these recipes are meant for home because they are more fancy than what a person would take tailgating, but I consider myself a gourmet football fan and I enjoy cooking for people when we tailgate just as much as we enjoy the game. Although the ice cream football treats wouldn’t travel, the Chicken Chili and Beeritas (my take on the title) will travel well. I tailgate at the Bronco’s home games like most Baptists go to Church; since I don’t have season tickets I watch the game in HD with my family and friends now that I have a DISH Network Tailgater portable satellite dish. We used to watch on portable and handheld TV’s before getting the Tailgater, which was for the birds. Now we watch in HD on a big screen TV I load into my pickup; I even made a special travel container for it. The food here will go so well with the game (and my stomach) and I’ll bring the leftovers to work at DISH which I know they’ll love. Your website is so professional by the way I am surprised you’re not on the Food Network.

They take 8 minutes to heat up on 370° and we shake the basket halfway through so they cook evenly. They are yummy and crispy!
