The Smoking Musket Tailgate Menu: Hot Box Wings

The Iowa State game is always a fun event for both sides. A rivalry born out of two fanbases’ reputations of being rowdy can only mean one thing: Riot Bowl. Also, this is the closest conference foe to West Virginia University and proximity breeds contempt.

As we celebrate our Mountaineer fans, let’s gather around some crispy, juicy chicken wings, a repurposed Appalachian staple and a party drink sure to set the mood.

We haven’t cooked wings at a tailgate this year, and what better week to do than Riot Bowl Week? I reached out to Iowa State superfan and Ten 12 Podcast contributor Jaimie Steyer to ask her where to find the best wings in Ames.
