Adapted from Kenji's grilled skirt steak fajitas recipe, this version reworks the recipe using chicken thighs instead of steak and alters the technique so that all you need is an oven and a single sheet pan. Because it's all cooked on a large half-sheet pan, it's perfect for feeding a larger group, plus the prep and cleanup are kept to a minimum. #DinnerTonight #Fajitas #TexMex #EasyMeals #SheetPanDinners #QuickDinners #SeriousEats

This is my favorite salsa, hands down, and that's coming from someone who loves salsa. Smoky, spicy, sweet, bright, and complex, this is the one salsa to rule them all. The fact that it only has four real ingredients, you can make it in 20 minutes, and it requires pretty much no knife work or clean up is just the icing on the cake (or the salsa on the taco, maybe).

Classic smashed burgers are all about maximizing that deep, brown crust. But I found myself wondering: What if I were to take this to the extreme? Was there a way I could pack even more flavor into a burger? And thus, the ultra-smashed burger was born. Same burger size, but twice the amount of crisp, browned crust. #Burgers #ShakeShack #Cheeseburgers #SmashBurgers #GameDay #GameDayRecipes #SuperBowl #Entertaining #SeriousEats

Here's how to make the sort of thick-crusted, fried-on-the-bottom, puffy, cheesy, focaccia-esque style you might remember having as a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza when you were a kid. Baked in a cast iron skillet, the crust is golden and crunchy on the outside but still a touch puffy and soft under the stretchy mozzarella cheese. #Pizza #PanPizza #GameDay #GameDay Recipes #SuperBowl #SeriousEats

It may not be zucchini season quite yet, but I'd advise squirreling away Deborah Madison's Summer Squash Tartines recipe from her new book, Vegetable Literacy, for dinner parties in the coming months. Another winning bread-cheese-vegetable combination, these open-faced sandwiches are just the thing when you've got a couple of cucurbits hanging around the house. Sure, anyone can throw cheese on bread and call it an appetizer. Yet Madison's little touches, like rubbing the bread with garlic…

Mixing the cheese in with the fillings distributes it evenly and ensures that the quesadilla fillings stay intact instead of falling out.

Like finger foods, dips are a natural choice for game day snacking because of how easy they are to eat on the couch. But they have other advantages, too: They're easy to make in large quantities and light enough to eat for a couple hours straight. The challenge, then, is deciding which ones to serve.

The keys to kickass quesadillas are mixing the filling right in with the cheese and using enough oil to get the tortillas to puff and crisp up golden brown.

An easy 1-pot pork and three-bean chili with a rich, balanced chili flavor.

Because they incorporate cream instead of the more common butter, these homemade crackers brown more flavorfully as they bake, creating a deep, nutty, grilled cheese sort of vibe. This recipe works well with sharp yellow cheddars, like Tillamook and Cabot, but if you're looking for a change of pace, Manchego works well, too. Eat 'em out of hand, or serve with hearty soups, stews, and chilis. #Snacks #GameDay #SuperBowl #GameDayRecipes #Homemade #DIY #SeriousEats

This recipe folds poached and shredded salmon with mayo, cooked shallots…

A quick and easy hors d'oeuvres, these bacon-wrapped broiled figs are stuffed with blue cheese, and a buttery bourbon-spiked caramel glaze complements and contrasts perfectly with the salty, smoky, and sweet ingredients. #Appetizers #HorsDoeuvres #GameDay #SuperBowl #GameDayRecipes #Entertaining #Snacks #SeriousEats

If you can't understand the allure of made-from-scratch Bagel Bites, you'll just have to try them for yourself. This is a recipe for the hardcore fans, those of us who've longed for bite-size pizza poppers that taste as good as we remember—chewy, cheesy, salty, and crisp. #BagelBites #Snacks #GameDay #SuperBowl #GameDayRecipes #DIY #Serious Eats

What does it take to make an incredible plate of bar-style, fully loaded nachos? For starters, at least three kinds of cheese, two kinds of beans, and two different applications of creamy, tangy dairy. It may sound like overkill, but there's a method to this madness. #GameDay #SuperBowl #GameDayRecipes #SuperBowlRecipes #Nachos #Snacks #Appetizers #SeriousEats

Can Buffalo wings be made even better when cooked sous vide first? We think so. The low-and-slow cook in a hot water bath makes the meat incredibly tender and juicy without drying it out; frying the wings afterward sizzles the skin so that it's golden and crispy. After that, they need nothing more than a toss in the classic sauce of Frank's RedHot and butter. #Wings #Appetizers #SousVide #Entertaining #GameDay #GameDayRecipes #SuperBowl #SeriousEats

The ultimate chili should have a rich, complex flavor that combines sweet, bitter, hot, fresh, and fruity elements in balance, along with tender, creamy beans and chunks of beef bound together in a deep-red sauce. To achieve these goals, this recipe tackles each element on its own—the chilies, the beef, the beans, and the flavorings—before putting them all together in one big happy pot. #GameDay #GameDayRecipes #SuperBowl #Chili #Entertaining #SeriousEats
