🏠 Foreclosure worries? Here’s the scoop: despite the ending of pandemic relief and shifting economic conditions, foreclosures aren't spiking. In fact, we're at just 60% of prepandemic levels! 📊

Experts suggest it could take until mid to late 2024 to even approach 2019 rates. Why? The market is strong, and homeowners from the past couple years have seen impressive equity growth due to property appreciation, meaning fewer of them are facing foreclosure. 🌟

What goes together better than football, beer, and wings? This is the perfect game day recipe!

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:
Oil, for frying
1 cup stout beer
1 cup buffalo hot sauce
3 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pound chicken wings (about 24)
Celery sticks, on the side
Carrot sticks, on the side
Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together beer, buffalo sauce, butter, garlic, and brown sugar until simmering, about 4–5 minutes. Whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. Pour in cornstarch mixture, and whisk until slightly thickened. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, and stir. Remove from heat, and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a fryer or Dutch oven to 350°F.
3. Drain wings, and pat dry with a paper towel. Gently place wings into the fryer in small batches. Fry for 6–8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the fryer, and place in a bowl.
4. Toss wings with sauce, and serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Tip: You can cook the chicken wings in the oven instead of deep frying. Preheat oven to 400°F, and cook for 12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
