5 Easy, Crowd-Pleasing Super Bowl Recipes From Food Network Star Sunny Anderson

If you’re throwing a game-day bash this Super Bowl Sunday or have been tasked with bringing a dish to one, Food Network star Sunny Anderson has easy, crowd-pleasing dishes for you to choose from. And dessert is included!

Sunny’s Hot Chicken Wings were her 1st Food Network recipe

“There’s just something to me about burning my tongue off that I love,” Anderson says of these hot wings in a Food Network video (see below). “There are a lot of things I make that are spicy, but this recipe is really special to me because it’s the first thing I ever made on Food Network.”

Anderson’s wings recipe is not for the faint of heart: it calls for a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and an entire cup of hot sauce. Food Network reviewers were stoked by her fiery appetizer recipe and some felt the sauce could’ve been even spicier.

“These were fantastic, especially with the blue cheese dipping sauce. I thought they were going to be hotter though,” one home cook wrote on the network’s site.

Another said, “Made these for our Super Bowl party and everyone devoured them.”

Home cooks wrote on Food Network’s site, “I made these tonight, almost the recipe as written, for a Super Bowl party.  It turned out great and the recipe was requested,” and “OMG, amazing you have to make these. Great Super Bowl food!”

Sunny’s German Chocolate Cake Cookies will satisfy chocolate cravings

According to Anderson, German Chocolate cake isn’t German at all, as she told Rachael Ray (video below).

“It’s the guy who made it, his name is German,” she said. “His name is Sam German! They just named it after him.”

Aside from the cake’s origin, the Food Network star’s chocolaty treats are super easy to make.

“So delicious! Super quick and easy,” one fan wrote on the food programming site. And another home cook added, “Super rich and super delicious. A new favorite!”

Red Velvet Swirl Brownies are based on Anderson’s favorite cake

“Let me tell you about red velvet and me,” Anderson says on her Food Network video for this recipe. “It is my favorite cake.”

One teaspoon of vinegar, she said, intensifies the deep red color in the dessert. Plus, a cream cheese layer with sugar and vanilla adds creaminess to the recipe.

Reviewers loved Anderson’s dessert, writing, “AMAZING! Absolutely fell in love with these,” and “Easy and delicious brownies. Great flavor without being overpowering.”
