Appetizer Suggestions for a group of 40 with kids
I have been running my mouth about my BGE and now I need to back it up. I am signed up for appetizers. Chicken bombs for sure - anybody have any suggestions on something else I can cook a lot of in the couple of hours running up to the party Sunday afternoon?

Chicken bombs will be great. If you don't want to cook both appetizers, the Shrimp and Crab Dip is excellent. I took it to a party with Wheat Thins and everyone there asked for the recipe (except the vegan in the crowd).I never use canned shrimp. I buy them fresh and cut them up.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I haven't tried these yet, but they look great:Another good app is moink balls and it is pretty simple since they use frozen meatballs. I have also done bacon wrapped lil smokies and they went fast.Wings also make a great app. I just thought I would throw out one choice that wasn't wrapped in bacon .Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

That's a lot of Apps for that many people, chicken Bombs will take you quite a while to put together.
What about getting some little rolls and doing pulled pork sliders?

seen this on a cooking show the other day, would be easy on the egg. pizza stuffed bread balls. stuff pizza dough with a pepperoni slices and mozz, roll them into small golfball size balls, coat with some oil and dust with grated parm and bake til golden. serv sauce on the side. kids would like those. could make little ruebens the same way dusing with caraway seeds and a little salt dipping them in thousand islands. or could roll up a stromboli and slice it up on site, better presentation but the balls would make a better app

Chicken wings - easy to re-heat as well.
