A Burnham-On-Sea resident has won a unique contest to eat 12 fiery hot chicken wings in the fastest time!
Held during Saturday’s Burnham-On-Sea food festival, eight hungry participants were cheered on by a big crowd at the Ritz Social Club in Victoria Street.
Fyre Cook, a Burnham resident, won by stripping 12 fiery hot chicken wings to the bone in three minutes and 12 seconds!
“The wings were very hot but I love them like this,” she told Burnham-On-Sea.com. “The marinade was delicious. I’m chuffed to have won – I beat my brother, Adam, who was also taking part, and will have bragging rights for a long time!”
Organiser Sarah Milner Simonds added: “The idea of our hot wings competition was to find who could take the heat – the winner was the fastest person to strip 12 fiery hot chicken wings to the bone in order to win a Pitchfork Ales brewery tour and cider tasting session. They all did amazingly well and had a lot of fun!”
She thanked the contest’s supporters – hosts The Ritz Social Club, marinade providers Eat Smoke, and chicken wings supplier Passion and Smoke.
