Whether you’re ride-or-die for the Seattle Seahawks, a dyed-in-the-wool Patriots fan, fired up for Bad Bunny, or just here for the commercials, chances are you’ll be parked in front of the TV when Super Bowl LX kicks off on Sunday, February 8. And if you’re doing it right, your Super Bowl Sunday will also include an epic spread of delicious, decadent food.
It’s the biggest night in sports, so it only makes sense to load the table with enough snacks to make its legs buckle. And on Super Bowl Sunday, sausage really takes center stage. It shows up in buns. It adds depth to dips and chili. It shines in bite-sized poppables and hearty links. It’s glorious. And if you follow our lead, building a crowd-pleasing spread of sausage-forward game-day food is shockingly easy.
Any one of these chicken sausage-centric recipes will be a hit at your Super Bowl party. But together? That’s a starting lineup for the ages.
Spicy Chicken Sausage Chili
Real talk: If your game-day spread doesn’t include chili, is it even game day?
Contrary to popular belief—and with respect to the Kevin Malones of the world—the perfect pot of chili doesn’t need to simmer all day. This version comes together in under an hour, combining Italian Herb Chicken Sausage, tangy tomatoes, hearty beans, and just enough heat. It’s equally good ladled into a bowl or piled high on a bunned sausage, too.
Make it yourself: Your chili prep just got way more chill
A Whole Bunch of Pizza
Wherever there’s pizza, there’s a party. And if it’s Super Bowl Sunday, one pizza simply isn’t enough.
Chicken sausage plays beautifully with both the classics (peppers and onions) and more left-field toppings (bratwurst pizza? Absolutely). The possibilities are endless—especially once you break out the cast-iron pan and let caramelized cheese work its magic.
Make it yourself: These are the chicken-sausage pizzas you’ve been craving.
Crispy Air Fryer Ravioli, Chicken Sausage & Broccoli
Air fryers were basically invented for football Sunday, and this potluck-friendly appetizer delivers layers of texture in every bite. Crispy ravioli—an appetizer that represents St. Louis far better than the actual NFL—gets paired with charred broccoli and a marinara that begs for dipping.
Make it yourself: Fire up the air fryer and get ready to feast.
Sausage Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese Dipping Sauce
Every single noun in this recipe screams “football party.” Think bite-sized pretzel dogs served with a beer-spiked cheddar sauce. It’s basically Oktoberfest in appetizer form, perfectly calibrated for a tailgate—or your living room.
Make it yourself: Crack a beer and get cooking.
Buffalo Chicken Sausage Dip
All the flavors of Buffalo’s most famous dish, without the mess, the arctic weather, or the risk of burning yourself while deep-frying poultry during a critical fourth down. .

Chicks in a Quilt
Pigs in a blanket are out. Chicks in a quilt are in.
These poppable apps come together with just three simple ingredients—six if you count the maple-dijon dipping sauce, which you absolutely should. Sweet and savory is a combo that hits harder than a blindside sack.
Make it yourself: Get wrapping.
Seattle-Style Chicken Sausage Dogs
We’re not picking sides for the big game—but we will say that the Seattle-style dog is wildly underrated and shouldn’t be slept on. It’s a glorious union of a brat and a bagel, slathered with cream cheese and kicked up a notch here with beer-infused sauerkraut.
If this Super Bowl were judged solely on hot-dog culture, the Seahawks would have a very real edge.
Make it yourself: Your new favorite dog awaits.
Chicken Sausage Queso Dip
Texas’ greatest contribution to tailgate culture gets a boost from Melty Cheddar Chicken Sausage, turning this already-decadent queso into something truly dangerous. Stock up on chips—or don’t be surprised if you catch someone scooping it straight from the bowl.
Make it yourself: In this case, you SHOULD mess with Texas.
Pizza Beans with Chicken Sausage
Look, if the first two words in the name of this dip screamed “Super Bowl” any louder, they’d be ejected for interference. And yes, this is exactly what it sounds like: pizza in protein-packed dip form. Grab a hunk of garlic bread and get scooping.
Make it yourself: We’ll say it again—PIZZA BEANS.
A Huge Tray of Sandwiches
Whether it’s a party sub sliced into slabs, a tray of sliders, or hoagies hacked in half, a towering pile of sandwiches brings main-dish energy to a finger-food spread. We’re partial to Italian sausage sandwiches on game day, but honestly, if you have bread, sausage, and a little bit of will, you’re already winning.
Make it yourself: This is the sandwich inspo you were looking for.
The Perfect Charcuterie Board
No Super Bowl spread is complete without a thoughtfully built charcuterie board. The beauty is how customizable it is: smoked salmon for the Seahawks crowd, a fluffernutter for your Patriots stans, and plenty of sausage to tie it all together.
Want to take it up a notch? Pair everything with the right cheeses, wines, and beers, and you’ve got a spread that brings everyone together—no matter who takes home the Lombardi Trophy.
