What do you eat on Super Bowl Sunday? Check out these regional game-day favorites, according to Google’s recipe search stats:

Buffalo wings are especially popular in Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina and Washington state. Collective­ly, we’ll gobble more than 1.33 billion chicken wings during our Super Bowl celebratio­ns, according to the National Chicken Council.

Dips of all kinds are beloved game-day fare across the country, from cheese/queso dip in Arkansas and Colorado to spinachart­ichoke dip in Florida and Iowa to Buffalo chicken dip (big in Illinois, Massachuse­tts, Pennsylvan­ia, Virginia and Wisconsin). We’ll spend more than $500 million on potato and tortilla chips to scoop it all up.

Chili recipes are tops in Delaware, Minnesota and Missouri.

Fans in New Mexico, New York and North Dakota will be frying up jalapeño poppers.

We like baking for the big game too, especially cupcakes in California, Connecticu­t and Texas.
