Hot, hot, hot wings


Next time I'm in Chicago, I'm goin' to the Corner Tap to sample the world's hottest hot wings:

"A Chicago bar is serving up what may be the spiciest buffalo wings on record. The scorching heat is a result of the sauce being fortified with Red Savina peppers, known to be among the spiciest in the world.

According to Wikipedia, the peppers have been measured for 'hotness,' and recorded to be as high as 580,000 Scoville units. This is twice as hot as a habanero, and 65 times as hot as a jalapeño.

"Because of the heat, diners ordering the wings will have to sign a waiver before they eat them, agreeing not to sue should they be injured by the experience. They'll also have an alarm bell on hand in case they suddenly need their waiter to race over with some sour cream, milk, sugar or white bread to dull the effects of the pepper's sting."
