As reported by The Manc, not only is this the place to be if you are a wing lover, but you also have the chance participate in some exciting wing eating competitions. The Wing Fest website states that the Manchester Wing Fest will bring you 20 different street food traders, restaurants and BBQ teams and is expected to serve 200,000 wings.
What’s on offer at Chicken Fest Manchester 2022
Entry tickets for the festival start from £20 and includes a Wing Fest signature trucker hat, all rides, games and entertainment. The on-site entertainment would include axe-throwing stations, fairground rides, and live music.
Apart from the food and festivities, the wing eating competitions are perhaps the biggest draw to the event. To participate, ticket holders just need to sign up for the contest on the day. But do get there soon since these are very popular and space get occupied very fast.
Lava Wing Challenge 2022
As reported by The Manc, one of the most exciting events to happen in Manchester is the Lava Wing Challenge, which is to be hosted this year by Food Review Club and Clifton Chili Club. This is considered ‘the hottest wing eating challenge in the UK.’
The spice level is truly daunting with the Lava Sauce being strengthened over a 12-month period to create a concoction so strong that it apparently tastes as its name suggests quite fittingly, like lava.
The rules are quite simple:
- Eat 8 Lava Wings as fast as possible
- Wait for 2 minutes afterwards as the spiciness washes over you
- The first person to finish their 2 minutes is awarded the champion
- No milk or water is allowed during the competition.
Needless to say, this contest is not for the weak-stomached. If you would like to participate, grab your ticket to Wing Fest and sign up on the day.
