Eating wings isn’t just about satisfying your cravings—it’s about bringing the heat, the laughs, and a little friendly chaos. If you and your crew are always up for some fun (and a lot of napkins), then it’s time to try these wing eating challenges at Wings and Rings. Whether you're planning your next game night or just want to prove who’s the real MVP of messiness, these five chicken wing challenges will spice things up.

And with 40% off wings every Tuesday now through July, it’s the perfect excuse to gather your friends and throw down.

1. The Heat Ladder Challenge

Start at mild and climb your way to “I can’t feel my face.” Pick five wings with increasingly spicy sauces from our sauce lineup and try to conquer them all. No milk. No breaks. No mercy. Whoever gets the farthest up the ladder without tapping out wins bragging rights and the last wing.

Pro tip: The Ghost Pepper Ranch isn’t for the faint of tongue.

2. The Blind Taste Test

Think you know your Buffalo from your Bourbon BBQ? Time to prove it. Have a friend order a mystery round of wings, then guess the sauce flavors with your eyes closed. One wrong answer, and you’re out. The winner is the flavor-guessing guru. Loser buys the next round of drinks.

No peeking. No sniffing. Just wing instincts.

3. The Speed-Eating Smackdown

Set a timer for 60 seconds and see who can finish the most wings. Clean bones only—no cheating! This one’s not just about speed; it’s about precision and hunger. Bonus points if you keep your table clean (but let’s be honest, no one ever does).

The bar has been set. James Webb holds the world record with 23 wings in one minute at the 2023 U.S. Chicken Wing Eating Championship—part of a mind-blowing 276 wings in 12 minutes.

Disclaimer: Do not try this at home. Or anywhere. Seriously.

4. One-Handed Warrior Challenge

You’ve got one hand behind your back, a plate of traditional wings in front of you, and your dignity on the line. Whoever finishes their plate the fastest—one hand only—takes the crown. Bonus difficulty: keep the other hand clean the whole time.

Elegant? No. Effective? Also no. But it’s hilarious to watch.

5. No Hands? No Problem.

Ready to level up the chaos? Go full beast mode: no hands allowed. It’s wing vs. face in the ultimate test of willpower, coordination, and how much sauce you can handle on your nose. Most wings eaten in two minutes wins—extra points for style.

It's like bobbing for apples, but messier. And way more delicious. We strongly recommend boneless wings for this challenge!

Be kind to your clothes—here’s how to get sauce out of fabric.
