EVERY football fan knows chicken wings are a must-have on game days, but especially for the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year, and the last thing you want to do is ruin the staple dish.

There are a number of ways your chicken wings can go wrong depending on your method of cooking.

But with a few added measures courtesy of Southern Living, you can prevent game day disaster.

Wings stuck to the grill

Grilling is an excellent option to cook chicken wings as it adds a smoky flavor, but of course, it doesn't come without a few risks.

If you're not careful, your wings can get stuck on the grill and pull off all of the tender meat.

To prevent this, simply toss your wings in a few tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil and season before throwing them on the grill.

Grill was too hot and burnt the wings

Additionally, grilling wings can get tricky when you aren't careful about the temperature.

One minute they could be fine, but the next they become burnt with a raw middle.

An easy way to avoid this is to have a "hot" and "cold" side of your grill.

Southern Living suggested leaving one side unlit and the other around on medium-high heat or around 350° to 400°.

First, grill your wings on the unlit side, covered, for 15 minutes on each side.

Then move them over to the heated side and grill uncovered for 10-12 minutes while turning every two to three, until skin is crispy.

Chicken skin won't get crispy in the oven

If the oven is your preferred method of cooking, you have to make sure the skin on your chicken wings crisp up so they can soak all of the delicious sauce.

If you have a hard time getting them crispy in the oven, pat the wings dry with paper towels to ensure there is no excess moisture.

Then line the wings on a cookie sheet and simply bake at 375˚ for about an hour or until the wings are crispy.

Fried wings were bland

While delicious, fried wings come with a few extra challenges.

First, you have to pay extra attention to the breading since that's where the wings' flavor comes from, not the sauce.

To make breading, coat your wings in buttermilk then thoroughly cover in seasoned flour.

You can season the flour with your favorite spices, but Southern Living suggested salt, pepper, dried oregano, paprika, and chili powder.

Fried wings came out cold

Additionally, it may be tempting to throw all of your wings in the fryer or pan at once, but doing so will more than likely get you a few cold ones.

Instead, fry your wings in batches, and be sure not to overcrowd the pan or fryer.

You can keep your wings warm in the oven at 200˚ while you finish frying.

Wings fell apart in the slow cooker

Lastly, the slow cooker is an excellent choice for the low-maintenance chef.

But while your wings are sure to come out tender and flavorful, that means they can easily fall off the bone if overcooked.

While you would typically leave dishes in the slow cooker all day long, that's not the case for wings.

Rather, you should cook your wings on high for two to three hours or on low for four to five hours, according to Southern Living.

The outlet also suggested to pre-broil your wings before adding them to the slow cooker to get crispy skin.

Additionally, you're probably eating chicken wings wrong if you're not getting all of the meat out.
