Catching a big MLB, NFL or college football game this weekend? Try these potato-crusted chicken wings for your watch party extravaganza.

"This dish came about when I asked my husband to grab instant mashed potatoes, in his head one box wasn't enough, so I ended up with 10 boxes of instant mashed potatoes," Jessica Formicola from Savory Experiments tells Fox News. "I donated some, but the others were used to make creative dishes, like using the potato flakes as a naturally gluten-free crispy crust for baked chicken wings." 

Formicola recommends serving the wings with the sauce of your liking – BBQ, buffalo, garlic-Parmesan. "This same breading works on chicken fingers, too," she adds.
