Onion Crunch adds punch to recipes

Looking for some fun recipes to liven up your tailgating parties during football season? Here are a few recipes that will kickstart the game AND your taste buds. I want to thank the folks at Onion Crunch for the ideas. If you’re unfamiliar with Onion Crunch, it’s a crispy, onion-topping condiment – made with real onions – that comes in several flavors including traditional, bacon, and chipotle.

  • Sweet & Sour Chicken Wings: Ditch the regular hot Buffalo wings for a tastier version of a classic tailgating dish. Combine Sriracha hot sauce with honey and orange juice to give your wings a sweet citrus flavor that still packs some heat.
  • Cheese-Stuffed Meatball Sliders:  Master the grill, spice up your tired hamburger sliders with some modern cheesy deliciousness.  Get the same classic look of burger sliders but with a twist.  Try adding bacon, pancetta or Chipotle-flavored Onion Crunch for added flavor.
  • Grilled Roasted Corn: When it comes to corn on the cob toppings, don’t be afraid to shy away from classic butter. Mix it up with fresh chives, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, chile powder, or lime and you’ll be the tailgating champion.
  • Hot Guacamole: Trade the traditional guacamole recipe for a spicy one on game-day. Try adding jalapenos, cumin, and onions for a zesty dip nobody will be able to resist.
