hoggys uncut xxx inferno wings, the spiciest wings in Columbus

1. Hoggy’s BBQ: Three Mile Island (Uncut XXX Inferno)

Excerpt from the full Hoggy’s BBQ - Uncut XXX Inferno post: “The sauce is thick, bordering on chunky, and is comprised of Carolina Reapers, Peach Ghost Peppers, and Chocolate Habaneros, a touch of garlic and a bit of vinegar. Vinegar, garlic, magma. My mouth started watering immediately and two streams of tears exploded from my eyes. My tongue was engulfed in flames… These were by far the spiciest wings in the city of Columbus to date.” Continue Reading

Major Pain wings from Mean Mugs Wings & Things

2. Mean Mugs Wings & Things: Major Pain Wings

Excerpt from the full Mean Mugs Wings & Things post: “The Major is the house made Buffalo Sauce with Reaper and I tell you what, it smells like it. The orange glow of these Major Pain wings looked as though they’d absorbed the heat, infusing themselves with the 2.2M SHU pepper powder. I raced through the first flat, the vinegar of the buffalo sauce pulling the heat along until that was all I felt. Major Pain arrived and did not leave for the rest of the wings.” Continue Reading

3. Shakers Public House: Death Nectar Wings

Excerpt from the full Shakers Public House post: “The first bite is a gentle slap, giving you time to roll the habanero-infused Buffalo Sauce around and enjoy the taste. By the second bite, the Death Nectar has taken hold, a gentle snuggle of murder and sweat. My under eyes were damp, my nose was dripping again, and I began to mouth-breathe like I hadn’t in quite some time… In the end, the Death Nectar comes for us all.” Continue Reading

4. The Filling Station: 911 Wings

Excerpt from the full Spiciest Dish In Columbus – The Filling Station post: “I looked into the box where the wings had been and all that was left was a sinister sauce that chortled at me (I may or may not have been hallucinating from the spiciness). I tossed the remaining Hot Balls into the leftover sauce and took a few minutes to think about life.” Continue Reading

5. Carlucci’s Pizzeria: Super Hot Buffalo Wings

Excerpt from the full Carlucci’s Pizzeria post: “The La Nova buffalo base continued to tease, like a saucy shoulder rub to relax me, just before blasting me with the Carolina Reaper powder lovingly mixed into the Super Hot Buffalo. Eyes wide, I finished the final wing. My mouth felt like it was going to explode… Props to Carlucci’s Pizzeria for this sleeper sauce, I was definitely NOT expecting that.” Continue Reading

6. Atlas Tavern: Reaper BBQ Wings

Excerpt from the full Spiciest Dish In Columbus – Atlas Tavern post: “Between the Reaper BBQ and the Reaper Buffalo, the BBQ was definitely the hotter of the two. Both have a great Reaper flavor to them and are true to their last names. The BBQ is thick and tastes like it has a molasses and brown sugar base. A little sweet but not overpowering, and then the heat kicks you in the teeth. My nose completely shut down and would not stop running the rest of the meal.” Continue Reading

7. OH Pizza & Brew: There Will Be Tears Wings

Excerpt from the full Spiciest Dish in Columbus – OH Pizza and Wings post: “Listed as their Hottest Buffalo, I picked up on the standard buffalo flavors with vinegar, pepper, garlic, and one wing in was still looking for the Carolina Reaper powder that had been promised (some say they use “The Source”, but I don’t believe that to be the case). Mid-way through the second wing, the heat of the first started to kick in. There it was, the spiciness that had been foretold!” Continue Reading

powell bar and grill polaris dry heat rub wings

8. Powell Bar & Grill: Polaris Dry Heat Rub Wings

Excerpt from the full Powell Bar & Grill post: “Biting into the first wing, the salt and pepper hits you right away, then an extra flavor creeps in. Moving to wing two, there was something building… my concentration was broken by a building wave of heat in my cheeks, tongue, and lips. My eyes widened as I recognized the familiar flavor of a superhot pepper. The dryness of the rub makes for a bizarre spicy experience, while also bringing quite a bit of heat.” Continue Reading

9. Winking Lizard: Pure Evil Wings (Limited in Jan/Feb Only)

Looking at these again, they looked dry and not the most appetizing, so we’re skipping the picture, buuuut, an excerpt from the full Spiciest Dish in Columbus Series: Winking Lizard Pt. II post: “We had expected the wings to be wet with the Pure Evil Sauce, but they were mostly dry, almost like it was just a rub. A bit nervous I bit into the first one. Yep, immediately hot. The dryness makes these wings out to be almost entirely pepper powder that is added. Just guessing, we’d say that it’s a similar mixture to what is in the Hellfire Chili with Reapers, Scorpions and Ghosts. Not a ton of flavor but the peppers used knocked me back a bit.” Continue Reading

10. JTs Pizza & Pub: Stupid Hot Wings

Excerpt from the full Spiciest Dish in Columbus Series: JT’s Pizza & Pub post: “The heat continued to mount through the next three “wings” and my eyeballs started sweating. It had been so long since this had happened I initially couldn’t figure out the sensation. We use eyeball sweat to define when your lower lids start to get sweaty and your eyeballs start to water a little without crying. Sixth and final “wing” down, I was mouth-breathing. This Stupid Hot sauce was actually a stupid level of hot.” Continue Reading
