The chill is in the air, the Ducks are No. 2 in the nation and now fall term is here it’s time to tailgate. Let’s be real — college students don’t bring food to tailgates, but they are always equipped with drinks.

No more standing in long lines for food when the drunchies hit — these recipes will put concession food to shame. Plus, they are quick, cheap and guaranteed to make game day better.

Spicy Maple Bacon Glazed Chicken Wings

›36 Chicken wings (about 3       pounds)

›1 tablespoon vegetable oil

›1/2 cup chopped onion

›1/2 cup chopped applewood          smoked bacon

›1/2 cup ketchup

›1/4 cup bourbon or whiskey       (optional)*

›1 teaspoon hot sauce of your       choice (optional)

›1/2 cup mayonnaise

In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, add chopped onions and stir until golden brown. Next, add chopped bacon and stir until bacon is cooked to your desire. Add ketchup, bourbon and hot sauce (I chose Sriracha) into the pan as well. Bring ingredients to a boil over high heat for two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally until sauce thickens. Remove from heat. With wire whisk, stir in mayonnaise until smooth. Add glaze to raw chicken wings and bake/grill until cooked. I grilled my wings and made them spicier by adding more hot sauce, less ketchup.

*If you choose not to add bourbon or whiskey to this recipe, the glaze will boil faster and emerge thicker. For this option, after onions and bacon are cooked, turn heat to low and add 1 cup of ketchup and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce. Stir this mixture over medium heat until it thickens. Remove from heat, whisk in mayonnaise and add glaze to wings.

Ale and Cheese Dip

›2 packages of cream cheese (8       ounces each)

›2 cups of shredded cheddar       cheese

›12 ounces of beer of your       choice

In a medium saucepan, boil 12 ounces of beer. The darker the beer is, the more flavorful the dip. Still on high heat, add packages of cream cheese and mix until smooth. Next, add cheddar cheese and whisk until cheese is melted. Let dip cool for five minutes. It may seem thin at first, but after it cools down the consistency will thicken. Pair this with anything dippable.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins 

›2 spice cake mixes

›1 30 ounce can pumpkin

›1 12 ounce bag of semi-sweet      chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add cake mixes and pumpkin into a bowl, mix until batter is smooth and there is no visible powder. Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into lined cupcake tins. These muffins don’t rise much, so fill the cupcake tins a little more than halfway. Bake for 20-25 minutes and check muffins by sticking toothpick in the center.
