6th Annual Wings of Death Contest / Wingfest

[ssandy_561]

Yesterday we had our 6th annual Wings of Death Contest / Wingfest.

We had a blast as normal. Had to deal with a couple of down pours and a tornado siren or two during it but all went well and 32 of us finished all 12 wings for the challenge.

I cooked up 120 lbs. of party wings and 10 lbs. of breaded chicken tenders.

Here were the 12 sauces that I chose for us to eat. They ranged from 1600 scoville units for the Classic Chili Maple on the left to 1,000,000+ scoville units for the Classic Pepper X sauce on the right.



This is what we were all competing for.



Had a band for 4 hours of the party. They rocked out in the rain.



Thank goodness for canopies.




After the rain a bit of yard sliding was enjoyed by some.



Not sure if anyone here has ever had Da Bomb hot sauce but it is the hottest thing I have ever eaten.

Here are a few of the contestants reaction to this sauce.





When the sun went down it was time to start a fire. Of course someone has a diesel fuel squirt gun to help out.



The steam really built up underneath the canopy when dropping 3 baskets of a dozen wings into the deep fryers all at once.



Here is the three of us that started this tradition 6 years ago. We have no plans on ending it anytime soon. That’s me in the middle.



I added the Scoville ratings of the sauces we had this year at post #19 if anyone wants to see them.

That looks absolutely epic! (Yard sliding!)

Ha! How fun is that! After the rain…or after some liquid courage yard sliding was started??

but that looks like a heck of a time! Thanks for sharing this! That is a ton of wings cooked up and looks like (minus the death sauce!) everyone enjoyed the time!

It looks like great fun. I cooked in an Eggfest last year, and it was lots of fun. I have attended a number of Eggfest in the past and they, too, have been lots of fun. Bring on the food and how to discussions and there will be fun.

That looks like a blast. Yard sliding, the newest Olympic sport.

I'm glad ya had a great time. It does look like a blast.

[Texas Larry]

Congrats on hosting a great time! Of course, all y’all are absolutely nuts. I’ll stick to my jalapeños and an occasional Serrano😂.

[Purc]

Looks like a great time. How was everybody the next morning?

[Panhead John]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here, but….hungover?

Fire In The Hole!!

[rlozinak]

Looks like good times had by all!

Glad you had fun! And survived! Not sure that mud slide activity looks too fun to me, unless you really been hitting the bar...

Your buddy leaning over not knowing what to do with himself after experiencing the pain... I can relate. I did the Death Nut challenge a couple of years ago, and just didn't know what to do with myself for 15-20 minutes. It was basically a self induced panic attack, as my body rejected the hotness of the 12 million Scoville units of the little peanut I ate... I paced, I leaned on walls, I drank anything I could get, and was in misery...

Interestingly someone in my home brew club brought a "Pepper X" challenge kit this past Tuesday to my house for the monthly meeting, and 7-8 guys partook of little potato chips impregnated with Pepper X. I declined, and obligingly brought out a gallon of milk to fill the beer glasses of some of those who were suffering...

Looks like a fun event, especially after the rain storm. If I’d have tried the hottest wings, 🤮.

[ssandy_561]

There were a few that did. 😝

[HotSun]

ssandy_561 , yeah yard sliding. We did that at Blossom Music Center during Lollapalooza 2, music, rain, and mud.

Looks like you had a blast.

[Porkies]

Good times!

[Sweaty Paul]

Glad y’all had a ball! Clearly the water didn’t rain on your parade.

[mrichie1229]

I would say the parade was made better because of the rain.

[CaptainMike]

Oh man, how fun! My picante food days a long gone, but it would still be fun to watch you guys. Thanks for bringing us along.
