How To Eat Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce

By Estela Bolton


Some people consider eating chicken wings something of a sport, especially when a hot seasoning or sauce is used. While some may prefer a home cooked recipe, others may have a preferred eating establishment that sells this popular appetizer. One flavor that is growing a cult following is ghost pepper wing sauce for its intensely hot flavor.

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.

People who are not accustomed to eating spicy foods may want to build up their tolerance level before diving in. Once upon a time, jalapeno peppers were the ultimate in hot peppers but many years later, things have changed. Ghost peppers, habanero, and Scotch Bonnets are considered some of the hottest grown on the planet and people cannot seem to get enough.

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.

Most people are used to foods that contain between 5,000 and 100,000 Scoville heat units. Most manufactured salsas, hot sauces, and chutneys fall in this category as they are mostly made with cayenne, jalapeno, and tabasco peppers. Habanero peppers are around 250,000 heat units and ghost peppers are about three times hotter, so their measurement is close to one million.

In many areas are hot wing contests where people try to eat as many as they can handle. These wings are usually soaked in the hottest sauce possible and those who win may receive a small prize. As a precaution, they may be urged to sign a waiver stating that the person holding the contest is not liable for any health issues that may arise.

Anyone who wants to build their tolerance at a slow rate can start by mixing sauces or add something to take some of the heat away. Some add a basic or sweet ingredient. Many find that in time, they can handle the hottest of temperatures. However, it may be a wise idea to keep a cold drink near when entering contests or experimenting with new flavors.

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.
