DINERS are being offered an eye-watering challenge - to eat the hottest chicken wings in Britain.
Brave restaurant-goers who take on the Hot Wings Challenge have to devour six pieces of chicken in ten minutes without a drink.And although it sounds easy, each wing is laced with the infamous Naga Viper chilli – a pepper 250 times hotter than a jalapeno.
It registers an incredible 1.3m on the Scoville scale for chilli heat and is so corrosive it has to be handled with gloves.
The challenge is on the menu of the Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton, East London, but not many complete it successfully,
Owner Tom Berk said: “There are very specific rules for the Hot Wings Challenge, which are the same for everybody and which we are very tough on.

“You are not allowed to leave the table, you are not allowed anything to drink.
“Once you have eaten the wings we stop the clock and start a fresh clock and there is a five minute burn-time where the same rules apply.
“You do all that and you become a champion.”
On average about 50 people take on the hot wings challenge each week – but only about two or three succeed.
Eating the hottest chicken wings in Britain can really be called a challenge! And it’s impressive that there are people who can handle its spiciness. An average person can only handle 450000 amount of Scoville, and consuming 1.3 million of is something to be proud of. Well, I think people would eat anything with chicken wings on it!
