I'm sure most places in Buffalo make their wings better than I can find around here, they are held to a higher standard. But when you think about it, just how hard are wings to make? Answer: Not very hard at all.

Surprisingly, the best wings I ever had were at a hotel bar in Hartford.

There is two, one of the places boasts 40 flavors.
Very good selection, and all very tasty and made to order. Their XXX wings are their hottest, but quite manageable. Not painful, but then again, I enjoy chips with straight hot sauce on them too, so....
How many people have actually eaten Dave' insanity sauce?
I'd say it is more maladjusted than insane, but then I'm no expert.
Originally posted by rbmorrisHere is something else to make I don't feel is 'too hard'. Something way too hot to enjoy. If a company wants to put out a hot sauce that is about as hot as it gets, they can easily do so. I've bought many brands that are just way too hot to enjoy realistically.
I'll have to try it.
I have to say...I'm skeptical.
Is Dave's Insanity hot? I don't know, but it better be if it wants to be worthy of it's name, and it better not be if it wants to sell to the general public.
Way too hot is fun... but you don't want to eat like that often. It's something fun to do with a friend or 2... but you better also get something you can actually eat.

Anchor Bar and Duff's can kiss my behind.
I prefer my wings lightly breaded with a habanero or jerk sauce. Medos wings (jerk) at the Rhyno in Toronto blow away any wings I've ever had at the Anchor or Duff's.
there was a guy i knew in the botany department of sydney university who, as part of research for his doctoral thesis, bred a 'super-habanero' that was measured as 3.5 times hotter than ordinary habaneros. that is, in terms of Scoville units, it rated 1,000,000 (an ordinary habanero comes in at 300,000). just for reference, pure capsaicin (the substance that makes chillies hot) rates about 15,000,000 Scoville units.
the unadulterated chilli was inedible. some macho guy who boasted about his habit of chewing raw habaneros tried it with this monster and suffered blistered lips, tongue, palate, and oesophagus, and ended up in hospital. naturally we whipped up a super-habanero sauce, applied it to a batch of wings and invited some mates around. just inhaling the fumes from the bbqd wings was enough to induce a fit of gasping and coughing. all i can say about the experience of eating them is that they were totally, insanely, hot - it really was as if i was holding my mouth close to a naked flame and i almost panicked - i just grabbed one of the tubs of yoghurt we had wisely put nearby and poured it into my mouth. it was once of the most painful experiences i have ever been through, and i still had a burning sensation in my mouth a week later. you had to draw your lips back so they didn't come into contact with the wings as you ingested them, and we went through large quantities of ice water and yoghurt to put out the fires. no-one was stupid enough to try washing them down with beer.
i'm not even going to talk about how painful the post-digestion phase of the experiment was.
