Chicken Wings So Hot You Have to Sign a Waiver!



A Chicago tavern had a contest of sorts to promote its new chicken wings … the wings are coated in one of the world’s hottest peppers. So hot, in fact, that customers first have to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue for injuries!

    Red savina habaneros are very hot, but they’re hardly the hottest pepper. I own several hotter sauces in addition to a red savina habanero sauce, and I have no trouble with them. I like a spicy food a lot, but there are many people who can take much more heat than I can.

    So, I’m going to declare these hot wings for poseurs.

    There’s a place in Chesapeake, VA called Crazy Wing (formerly Wild Wing Cantina) that has a wing sauce you have to sign a waiver to eat. I ordered them once, and nearly went blind. I ate half of one and couldn’t finish, and managed to get the sauce in my eye. For a solid 2 hours afterwards, everything I ate tasted like the sauce, and I got little shots of it every time I bit a nail for weeks, despite major scrubbing. They called them DOA wings.

    I snapped a picture of the waiver here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrsmith/109309624/

    If you look around, you can see my sissy reaction to getting the sauce in my eyes.

    He’s naked because the wings are hot! Duh! :)

    Better question is: how many wings eating competition does one have to enter to earn the nickname “Wing Tut”?

    And I’m glad you’ve regained your vision, JR! I wince at the thought of getting hot sauce in my eyes…

    There is a restaurant in my town called Jungle Jims. When you eat their “Insanity Wings” you have to be at least 18 years of age and sign a waiver for the same thing.

    Waiver wings are old news. I once ate at a place that served wings with caesium and arsenic in them. I ate fourteen dozen and I’m fine.

    I also ate a whole cow. Whole.

    Every August, Flying Pie Pizza (http://www.flyingpie.com/habaneros.html) has “Double Habanero Pizzas,” and a waiver is required to get one delivered (or to go). If you eat in the restaurant, you get ice cream to cool things off.

    Buffalo Wild Wings makes you sign a waiver if you take their “Blazin’ Challenge” (12 of their hottest wings in 6 minutes without the use of napkins, drinks or licking your fingers) Hot, but old news now.

    Cluck U wings in Monmouth, NJ has been passing out waivers for their hot wings for at least 15 years now. Not sure when it really started, but that’s when I first heard of it.
