Sick and tired of the subtle taste of Sriracha sauce? Feel the need to ingest actual fire for a decent kick of flavor these days? Here's where you need to go. The restaurant is called Zingers. Open since 2010 and already possessing a devoted following, Zingers knows hot wings. And the Colorado Springs Independent sent me over to photographically capture these wings.
There's one in particular made with the 2nd hottest chili pepper the Earth can make, the
bhut jolokia from India. They call it their WTF? wings and it will completely own your sinuses with its hell-raising hotness.
I'm not even kidding. The
bhut jolokia pepper is 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce, and 3 times hotter than habañero. And these skull-clearing peppers get hotter with time. The most intense was around the 1-3 minute mark after I sampled some of this hair-singeing sauce (thanks to Danielle at Zingers for diving off the deep end with me with this taste test).
Lucky for you, I survived. And am able to show you these photos. I love food, even if it does try to set me on fire. It's a love-hate relationship through and through. Go to Zingers this weekend for lunch. FTW.
