My school is BIG on sports. Football is more than just a “spirit activity”. The entire university just pulses with energy, not just in the stadium when we have a home game. You can also see it and smell it in the parking lots. Yes, there are hordes of tailgaters just about everywhere you look. Because let’s be honest, if there wasn’t tailgating before (and during) the game, there’d be only a third of the energy that I just mentioned.

Sadly (or not so sadly), I’m not a sports fanatic. When those cold games come around, you can catch me curled up inside where it’s nice and warm, blogging, reading, or watching something that’s actually interesting (like CNN). I’ve tried, really, I’ve tried. Growing up with a dad and brother who are obsessed (at least, my brother is the obsessed one) with sports, it’s hard to stay completely out of the loop.

If I were going to choose the sports I could actually tolerate watching and cheering for, it would be football and hockey. If the Jets win, I’ll wear my single Jets shirt. As for hockey, I’ve always just “liked” it and even wanted to play it! My brother played ice hockey for a few years and I was always secretly jealous (haha!) These two sports are as boring as say, something like baseball…Another funny fact about my sports history; I loved the most random teams and players that had nothing to do with geographic location or family preference. Baseball: Astros (Roger Clemens), Football: Colts (Peyton Manning), Basketball: Heat (Dwayne Wayde), and Hockey: Red Wings (and some guy I can’t recall the name of). Let’s just say these were all inside jokes that my family knew about. Childhood weirdness…right?

My family’s favorite teams are the Jets, the Mets, and the Devils (yea, NJ!). The one or two years that I was “into” sports, the Cults were in the Superbowl so I actually remember watching (and caring!), I even had a Manning jersey. I’d also accumulated a Dwayne Wayde poster during that time and a plethora of Roger Clemens memorabilia (he was the best!). One of my old AIM usernames was “lemonsforclemens”. I know….But it’s okay, I’m still not ashamed!

Now, back to tailgating and game-day eats! People tend to go for the “man food” during a game. Spicy, meaty, messy. Chicken wings and drumsticks are a favorite of many and I can see why! You use your hands for these bad boys and are a perfect appetizer/main effect for the game! They’re baked, healthy, spicy, and have all the killer flavors of some fantastic Thai red curry! So even if your team doesn’t win (or Roger Clemens is far retired), these red curry chicken drumsticks will make you feel like a winner!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients. Fully coat the chicken drumsticks with the sauce.
  3. On an oven-safe rack or a baking dish with a homemade foil rack** (to let the grease fall) evenly space out the drumsticks.
  4. Bake the drumsticks in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.

Notes

*This recipe can be easily increased to suit the amount of people you’re feeding!
**I didn’t have a good rack to use so I twisted up some foil into stable cylinders and placed them in the bottom of a baking dish for make a “rack” to lay the drumsticks on.

Don’t worry, I won’t feel left out! No matter who you’re rooting for or what your favorite sport is (or isn’t!) good food is always an essential to be had! The food always wins…always!

    So funny. I am a Colts fan, I live in Indiana, but I don’t have any Colts sports wear. Good for you! I love the Olympics, and the World Series, I could watch them often. And I love the Super Bowl, mainly for the party and the commercials. We watch college football mostly, I am an Ohio State fan, Bruce is a Michigan Wolverine, and our friends are Michigan State Spartans. So it gets really interesting.

    This would be a great wings sauce, I’m sure it would be a hit with all our friends, thanks for sharing, maybe the wings will make the game more bearable! LOL I do have fun when we all get together, but the game is secondary to the company and food! LOL

    oh em gee, way to make me super super hungry again (and I just had another snack! ;_; ) These look delicious!!! I need to go get some red curry paste!

    Definitely with you on those hordes of tailgaters, hahaha. I couldn’t escape the Easton traffic when I was trying to get home! Although I’m interested in sports medicine, all my favorite sports are individual sports (e.g. gymnastics, MMA)! 😛

      Yes!!!
      Every time my mom comes down it’s dying a home game! Haha! She can never park 😛
      Individual sports are better…give me ALL the gymnastics over football (except golf….never golf! That shouldn’t even be a sport….nor should horseback riding…that poor horse who does all the work and you call YOURSELF the athlete!)

    I am definitely part of a crazy sports family. We have random favorite teams (mostly from the Northeast) , which make even less sense now that we live in Florida. Football season is kind of my favorite 😉 As are chicken legs/drumsticks!

    Your spicy chicken legs look terrific, and I bet chicken wings would taste great too with that seasoning. We are big on chicken wings. I am not a sports fan and never have been, and CNN or any news depresses me so, therefore ,I am all into reading and blogging. One good thing though about big sports events, the food. The dishes are great, aren’t they? Thank you for sharing.
