Marshall Brewing shares chicken wing recipe

You probably haven’t made your Super Bowl watch party grocery store run yet, so you likely still have time to add a few things to your list. And if that’s the case, Marshall Brewing’s Wes Alexander shared this recipe for Big Jamoke chicken wings:

Sorry to disappoint, but once again we will not be advertising during the Super Bowl. This year’s average rate for a 30 second spot is $3 million. This falls slightly out of line with our advertising budget. But there is good news; you can enjoy the game with a locally crafted Marshall beer at over 180 locations across Oklahoma and Kansas, or at home, and still enjoy the millions spent to entertain you by the mega corporations. While there may not be a local team to pull for, you can show these mega corps that you support local grass roots business!

Perhaps you plan to host your friends for the day. If this is the case, we have an amazing recipe from our good friend Jeremiah Ramey for  Big Jamoke chicken wings. Make these wings in large batches and have plenty of craft beer on hand. Feel free to substitute other delicious craft beers in the recipe, but as Big Jamoke is only available through the end of February and brings a boldness to the recipe, it is our first choice.

Big Jamoke Chicken Wings

-5 lbs. chicken wings

Brine Ingredients

-4 bottles 12 oz. of Big Jamoke Porter

-2 cups of water

-1/4 cup of kosher salt

-1/4 cup of honey

-1/4 cup sriracha

-1-2 tsp of wasabi paste

Basting and dipping sauce

-3/4 cup soy sauce

-1/4 cup Big Jamoke

-3/4 cup honey

-1/4 cup sriracha

-1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

-1/4 cup minced ginger

-2 tbsp sesame oil

-2 tsp of guajillo powder (or regular chili powder)

-1 tsp of minced garlic

For the brine, mix everything together in a large bowl or bag. Seal and refrigerate no longer than 4 hours.

AB dropping cool $31.5 million on Super Bowl ads

Interested in the commercials Anheuser-Busch will roll out during the Super Bowl?

Here’s a write-up explaining what they are.

AB will advertise for Budweiser, Bud Light and the new Bud Light Platinum, which actually tastes exactly like platinum. (I made that up. I don’t know what it tastes like.)

Here’s the quarter-by-quarter lineup:

First Quarter

“Factory” (Bud Light Platinum) – The process of creating something truly Platinum is revealed.  (30 seconds)

“Work” (Bud Light Platinum) – This office is anything but conventional. (30 seconds)

Second Quarter

“Return of the King” (Budweiser) – A town celebrates as the Clydesdales usher in a historic moment in American history. (60 seconds)
 
Bud Light “Secret Spot” (30 seconds)

Third Quarter

“Eternal Optimism” (Budweiser) – Highlights of American achievements throughout history – with the assurance of more to come. (60 seconds)

Fourth Quarter

“Rescue Dog” (Bud Light) – Calling this dog’s name unveils a special trick. (60 seconds)

That’s 4 minutes and 30 seconds of advertising. Super Bowl commercials are going for a reported $3.5 million per 30-second spot, so that’s a cool $31,500,000 AB is dropping on this year’s game.
