On 5-6 August, Hackney Wick’s authority on chicken wings, Randy’s Wing Bar, will be presenting the #LondonWingFest, sponsored by Frank’s RedHot Sauce, in attempt to find the best wings in the UK.
London’s Best Buffalo Wing
Described in the North American dictionary, from where this mighty morsel hales, as “deep-fried wings coated in a spicy sauce,” the description slightly underestimates the cult following this humble bar snack has started.
Few know that Frank’s RedHot sauce is the secret ingredient in the original buffalo wing recipe, created way back in the 60s in Buffalo, USA. But what saucy flavours will 2017’s Wing Fest bring?!
London’s Best Wild Wing
In this category anything goes. Any flavour, any technique, any taste. Basically the rule is, there are no rules.
The 18 culinary warriors battling it out in 2017 are a mixture of street food vendors, pop up legends, and restaurants including:
Absurd Bird | Buffalo Joes | Butchies | Chicken George | Chicken Shack | Earl’s | Joe’s Southern Table & Bar | King Samosa | Le Bun | Mother Flipper | Randy’s Wing Bar | Spit & Roast | The Joint | Thunderbird | We Serve Humans | Wing Box | Wingmans | The Smoke Brothers
The day will also see the return of Dr Sweetsmoke’s deadly Lava Wing Challenge, which causes carnage every year, and Frank’s RedHot will be hosting the notorious wing eating competition.
There will be BBQ cooking demonstrations and live music throughout both days. Go hungry.
