Ready ... set ... eat!
Whether you're camped outside the stadium tailgating before the big game or you're "tailgating" from the comfort of your own home, food is necessary to get you through the several hours of cheering and jumping up and down for your favorite team.
We've dug up easily portable tailgating recipes that are sure to please your pumped up crowd.
Plain Chicken
A staple during football games, spruce up plain chicken wings with a finger lickin' sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. With only six ingredients, it won't take long to make the mix early in the morning. After popping them in the oven, you can probably even catch a few more zzz's. Just remember to set the timer!

Mel's Kitchen Cafe
Know why you'll love this recipe? It won first place in a Texas chili cook-off thanks to the fiery blend of spice and heat with sweet and tangy. If your taste buds can't handle the heat, you may be sweatin' a little. To cut down on the spice, the creator suggests adding tomatoes or broth — but beware, it may lose some of the other flavors.

Rebecca Lindamood/Foodie With Family
Soft cheesy goodness on the inside and crusty on the outside — you'll have to restrain yourself from gobbling this up all by yourself. You can either toss this recipe, which also includes garlic and scallions, in the oven or — even better — fire up the grill.

Nibble Me This
Get the grill going for these kabobs, as the charcoal will add another layer of tastiness as it gives off a smoky flavor. It's also juicy and mildly sweet.
