Virginia hasn’t been getting any love on the site yet so I figured it was time to add a challenge for those of you that live out there. And since wing challenges seem to be very popular, here you go, a wing challenge in Virginia. If you can handle the heat and want to step up to the Flatliner Wing Challenge then head on down to the Buffalo Wing Factory & Pub, they have 4 locations in Virginia so hopefully you’ll be able to find one in your area. While the challenge is much less than the record, at the time of finding this challenge the current record for most wings eaten was 42, can you top that?

This challenge is easy. The flatliner wings are not as hot as some other wings I’ve had. Plus, they only want you to eat 10. No rules against using napkins or drinks.
So my brother tried the challenge last year and said the wings weren’t anything i couldnt handle. He actually said they were weak. So my husband and i tried the challenge two weeks ago… I cant even explain how hot they were! I ate three wings and tapped out. I’ve never had anything THAT hot before! My brother did the challenge with us… He said they are definitely not the same as last year and that they changed the recipe. The cook and managers confirmed that they changed the recipe and added “ghost chili” to the recipe starting in June of 2011. You shoul try it and see if you still think it’s not hot.
Is there anything listed about the scoville rating on these wings?
there are rules.
you can’t drink anything throughout the whole challenge
and you can’t dip the wings in anything either
Thanks for letting us know, we have updated the Rules above.
i did this challenge successfully with the updated rules and all i have to say is…… dont!! first, let me say i have a very high spice tolerence as i have been eating spicey foods since i was 4. i have taken on many wing challenges and most are cake walks. second, i use to go to BWF and order the flatliners on 49 cent mondays and I would eat five just for fun….. that was before the change. now they make the wings hotter and they have almost a chamical smell and taste. they are not the hottest thing I have eaten and I would even be willing to do the challenge again if….. the following two days hadnt happened. i warn anyone who does this challenge that I dont care how high your tolerence is, you will get sick and be curled up into a fetal position for up to 48 hours. whatever they put in these wings destroys your stomach. i ate the wings, had some beers and my mouth was fine but about 3 hours later i was in the bathroom on the floor almost in tears….. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CHALLENGE. unless your crazy like me haha
i could only eat 4 before giving up, and they wernt even that bad untill they have to sit in your stomach that like the other gy said, makes u sit in the bathroom curled up no lie… the wings also are like black with seeds scatterd on them
Did the cahllenge yesterday. I only ate the 10 that come in the first basket, and that was enough! Waitress told me that they were about SHU 700,000. Got the T-shirt….I’ve done just as stupid things for much less of a reward! Hot as HELL
I did this challenge as well. The cook came out to watch me suffer, lol. Believe it or not, it wasn’t ALL or ONLY heat, it still tasted great!
I asked what the hottest ingredient was and I was told it was the ghost pepper, which rates on average of 1mil SHU, very rarely as high as 1.3mil SHU.
(Suggestions to those who finish: Take pepto bismol every 2 hours after completing… I only took it once and stopped – BAD IDEA; OR seriously consider purposefully throwing up afterwards to get as much of it out of your system ASAP)
Good Luck! Thankfully, they had 1 last t-shirt in my size or I would have had to settle for a prize that didnt fit
