Food ideas: What to Eat during NFL Season

For many, football is synonymous with foods so we scoured the country to compile a round-up list of football food ideas for you. Football season is in full swing. Even though the 2022 National Football League (NFL) is scheduled to kick off on September 8, there are some offseason events to watch and keep track of in July and August! For instance, there’s the Las Vegas Raiders that will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 Hall of Fame Game on August 4. The game marks the fourth appearance by the Raiders and the second for the Jaguars. Or there’s Franchise tag deadline on July 15, which is the final chance for squads to sign long-term extensions for players they originally franchise-tagged. You can make a wager on who will win on NFL betting sites with your friends too but most importantly, stock up on some delicious game day foods for the party!

From loaded tater tots, Texas toast, Nashville hot chicken to hot chicken sandwiches, there are many types of game day food to choose from. Whether you’re tailgating at the stadium or throwing a sports party with your squad, it’s always good to know what party snacks to bring. Even if you don’t know much about sports or which team to root for, you can still be the party legend who brings the game day grub that has all the guests huddling around the table. Trailer Birds, the brainchild of the culinary team of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, is offering catering and food delivery for those who are looking to score a snacking touchdown! Instead of hauling your entire grill to the tailgate party, order grab-and-go food from Trailer Birds. Without further ado, here’s the ultimate list of the best game day foods!

Nashville Hot Chicken

Kick off the NFL season with those blazing Nashville chicken tenders. Known for its delectable flavor that boasts an undeniable burn and a touch of sweetness, Nashville Hot Chicken is a staple food originally created in the Music City – Nashville. Available for event catering and food delivery in various locations across different states, Trailer Birds prides itself on putting a twist on this classic, iconic dish with its own dips. Nashville hot chicken is the go-to snack when the insatiable spice cravings creep in. Dial up your own heat level and wash it down with coleslaw and pickles. Those pitmaster-approved chicken tenders are certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Tater Tots

There’s no better way to celebrate the big game than with a tater tot shaped like a football! Instead of going for the typical French fries, spice things up with those bite-sized tater tots that are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are not as oily as French fries and the pillowy interior is something that French fries can’t compete with. Trailer Birds offers a plethora of tater tots loaded up with Nashville Hot Chicken, cajun and jalapeno cheese sauce, you name it! The dips are sure to please the crowd! For game day, you should look for grab and go snacks that are delicate and not so filling that you don’t get to taste anything else. With that being said, tater tots are the perfect crowd-pleasing snacks to nibble on during NFL season.

Texas Toast

Want to cheer on the Dallas Cowboys? Look no further than Texas Toast! Dubbed as the main comfort food of choice for many Texans, Texas Toast is a thick-cut toasted bread slathered with butter on both sides and topped with cheese and garlic. Texas Toast is easy to transport to the tailgate and everyone can put on their own favorite condiment. This crowd-pleaser is a good addition to offset the other heavy dishes. If you want to get the most authentic Texas Toast, then be sure to check out Trailer Birds, one of the virtual brands of the pitmaster – Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Pair it with lemonade or iced tea in their signature Dickey’s Big Yellow Cup, or you can use the cup for your own beer!

Hot Chicken Sandwiches

Grab your favorite game day beer and elevate your taste buds with some hot chicken sandwiches. Featuring crispy chicken tenders, coleslaw, pickles and toasted bun, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is a good party snack you need for game day. Level up your meal to a combo with Trailer Birds’ hand cut fries, tater tots, mac and cheese or coleslaw if you want to get your belly filled. Bring the heat to your game day with Trailer Birds’ different heat levels ranging from fired up, get lit to fubar. Choose wisely!

Sweet Treats

Who says you have to only stick with finger foods for game day? After all, we all have a second “psychological” stomach for dessert. Gear up, flip on the game and indulge yourself with some delectable sweet treats like chocolate chunk cookies, pecan pies and blondie brownies from Trailer Birds! Whether you’re tailgating or watching NFL in the comfort of your own home, it’s always good to get desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you’re tailgating or hosting a game day party at home, ordering event catering is probably a better idea than ordering individually.
