How To Properly Eat Hot Wings According To Wing Expert Sean Evans

There probably isn’t much critical thinking going on in your head when eating chicken wings, but apparently there are many approaches people take, as has been evident on the hit First We Feast Show “Hot Ones.”

For four seasons, Hot Ones host Sean Evans has endured hot wing after hot wing, watching celebrities in front of him try to tackle the fiery food — and has happened to take some notes along the way.

While he has been criticized for his technique, Evans doesn’t think it’s that serious. He is fully aware of the “goofball YouTube tutorials” that tell you to twist off the little bone, then pull out the larger one — which is all good in theory — but a different story when you’re chowing down on some of the hottest wings on Earth, trying not to die.
