How To Eat Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce

For those who enjoy eating spicy or hot chicken wings, some enthusiasts live for the excitement. Though some may make theirs at home, others have a favorite restaurant or bar that sells the hottest wings in their area. Many of these places use ghost pepper wing sauce to flavor these popular appetizers, and some people cannot get enough!

There are many who like the excitement of having their tongue tingle or maybe they go into a heavy sweat after taking a nice sized bite. Whatever the feeling or reason, eating the ultimate hot wings has become like a sporting event for some. This can be fun as long as a person knows their limitations while eating.

For those who seldom eat spicy foods, it may be best to work up the heat ladder first. There was once a time when jalapenos were considered the hottest peppers on the market but in recent, they have been superseded by the habanero and Scotch Bonnets. Now, the ghost pepper is the hottest naturally grown pepper and growing in popularity.

People can gauge their heat consumption level by looking at a Scoville heat unit chart, which can be found online at no charge. This tells how much capsaicin is found inside each pepper. Those with numbers under 5,000 are mild in taste but those over 100,000 are considered to have a noticeable amount of heat. Ghost peppers are at the top of this chart.

Many condiments, such as salsa or hot sauce, may have a heat level that varies between 1,000 and 50,000 Scoville heat units. Since they mostly contain slightly hot peppers like cayenne or tabasco, they are not that high on the Scoville chart. If a person considers a habanero pepper to be hot, then they may not yet be ready to experience the ghost pepper, which is at the very top of the charts.

Some casual bars and restaurants like to have wing eating contests from time to time. Normally, they soak their wings in a habanero or ghost pepper sauce and whoever eats the most wings in the shortest period wins a prize or some sort of recognition. These contests are fun to watch and sometimes participate in but many times, the owners of the establishment will make participants sign a waiver that states they are eating at their own risk.

For the person who enjoys a little bit of excitement, they can try mixing hotter sauces with melted butter, honey, or a milder wing sauce. Over time, wing enthusiasts can build up their tolerance level to withstand the extreme heat. Another way to take some of the edge off is to keep a large, cold mug of beer or plain milk nearby.

There are many different flavors of chicken wing sauce on the market today. These can be found in major supermarkets, specialty grocers, and gourmet shops as well as online. When people visit these merchant websites, they can sign up to receive email alerts, along with event notices as they relate to chicken wings and ghost pepper wing sauce products.
