This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.

Are you hosting a football homegating party this fall?  Look no further, these snack ideas are really goint to set your party off in style.  I love simple party foods that help me get in and out of the kitchen quickly.  After all, I want to enjoy the party with my guests, not be in the kitchen cooking the entire time.  That is where these snack ideas come in!  You will be in and out of the kitchen and enjoying the party in no time at all!

If you are throwing an entire football themed party, check out this Football Cake!

My secret weapon?  Picking up Tyson® no antibiotics ever chicken products at my local Kroger store.  I chose the following items from the freezer section:

• Tyson crispy chicken strips
• Tyson® Any’tizers® hot wings buffalo style
• Tyson boneless chicken WYNGZ* honey BBQ flavor

You can feel good about serving these products to your family and friends because these specially marked Tyson chicken products are raised with no antibiotics ever.  Just look for that green label on your bags and you can rest assured that they have no added hormones or steroids.  You have to love that!

The crispy chicken strips are made with 100% all-natural white meat chicken, fully cooked and fully crispy.  They come out of the oven perfectly and are a quick and easy way to serve up some hearty football food.  My favorite way to serve them is on a large platter in a football shape with some veggies around the sides.  Want an awesome dip to go along with them?  Scroll down as I have a few recipes you will want to try.

I also love the Any’tizers that are made with white meat chicken in a variety of different sauces.  I picked the honey BBQ but you might want to pick up a bag in every flavor.  They are delicious and perfect for your football themed party or any night of the week.  Again I embraced the football theme when I was arranging the cooked appetizers.

Want some bone in wings?  Tyson has you covered there as well with their Any’tizers hot wings in buffalo style.  Hot, spicy, and just perfect!  You will want some ranch to help cool these off!
