Super Bowl Prep + Recipe

Super Bowl Sunday: A Recipe for When They Show Up Hungry

Whether you’re hosting the whole neighborhood or just want a snack for yourself while you tune into the commercials, Super Bowl Sunday is peak performance time for your knives. Wings don’t prep themselves, onions demand respect, and nothing kills the vibe faster than a dull blade.

Enter Schmidt Brothers. German-engineered steel, modern design, and the kind of balance that makes prep feel effortless. The game may go into overtime, but you won't.

Game Day Prep Starts Before Kickoff

Super Bowl food is unapologetically hands-on. That means a lot of chopping, slicing, trimming, and carving before the first whistle.

A sharp chef’s knife turns prep into a warm-up instead of a workout. Our fully forged German stainless steel blades are designed for precision, control, and durability, so you can move fast, stay clean, and keep your cutting board looking like you know what you’re doing.

Pro tip: prep everything early, stash it in the fridge, and enjoy the game. Make more than you need: snacks are everything, and they always, always vanish more quickly than you think they do. Worse comes to worst, you have leftovers, and with this recipe, you won't mind.

The Ultimate Super Bowl Party Recipe

This one checks all the boxes: crowd-pleasing, satisfying, and dangerously snackable.

Crispy Chicken Sliders with Sweet Heat Slaw

Serves: 6–8 hungry fans, double as needed

Ingredients

For the chicken

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 1 tbsp hot sauce

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the breading

• 1 ½ cups flour

• ½ cup cornstarch

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp salt

For the slaw

• ½ head green cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1 large carrot, julienned

• ¼ cup mayo

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp honey

• Salt to taste

To serve

• Slider buns

• Pickles

• Hot honey or spicy mayo

Instructions

1. Slice with intention
   Trim the chicken thighs into slider-sized pieces using a sharp chef’s knife. Clean cuts help everything cook evenly—this is where blade quality matters.

2. Marinate
   Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate at least 1 hour (overnight if you’re on your A-game).

3. Prep the slaw
   Thinly slice cabbage and carrot. Toss with mayo, vinegar, honey, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.

4. Bread & fry
   Mix breading ingredients. Dredge chicken, then fry at 350°F until golden and crispy. Drain on a cookie rack placed over a sheet pan (put some parchment paper down, trust us, it'll make cleanup easier).

5. Assemble
   Load buns with chicken, slaw, pickles, and a drizzle of hot honey or spicy mayo.
