Holy cow. I really did something with this one. The best part is this is minimal effort with maximum flavor. We took the classic hot chicken from Nashville and made it better. Warm, soft pretzels dipped in melty cheese with a pickle chip to break through the richness. I was not prepared for how delicious these were.
To the point that I ate all of them. In one sitting. Including all of the cheese whiz. Am I proud of it? Not really. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. I couldn’t stop. It has everything you want.
I know we prefer homemade around here, and I usually agree. But on game day sometimes we just want something quick and easy. This is the best of both worlds. We make our own Nashville hot sauce, our own delicious cheese whiz, and combine it with the cheapest tenders and pretzel bites you can find and you have a Super Bowl-worthy dish in 20 minutes.
Get ready to impress your friends at your next football party.
