WING KING TV PRESENTS: WEC Training Continues . . .

Welcome to the first episode of Wing King TV (WKTV)!!! Experimenting with some technologies, I hope WKTV will become a regular event here on the blog. What is WKTV? Well, I decided to tape my training with the intent of putting it on Youtube. And I did. On special occasions I can tape some reviews, recipes and other wing related events so that you are one step closer to experiencing the wings with me.


Now you can watch my secret strategies as my training continues. Actually at this point, its only a few short hours until the Wing Eating Competition (WEC) begins. First thing was to deep fry 20 dusted deep fried wings, tossed in a lime-chili Buffalo butter sauce (I used Frank's Chili-Lime sauce, and I wasn't really a fan).




Not only that, in the competition I have to drink a bottle of Dad's Cream Soda (I think, I'm not 100% on the rules). All I had was a can, and it was a diet Pepsi (I know, no Coke on hand . . .).



The wings were ready, the pop can at my side, napkins, a wing plate, and a plate of wings. I'm ready to eat 20 as quickly as I can. Ok. Roll cameras, and . . . ACTION!

Warning: there is profanity in the following video (music only).

WKTV was originally just for entertainment to show you folks how the eating is coming along, but after watching it, I can see a lot of mistakes I am making, so the video became an educational tool to help me improve my game.

First, I'm not fast enough. I find it so hard to rush through good wings and not get every delicious morsel on the bone. I have to get past it. Push through the wings as quick as possible. I didn't have a clock either, and with no one sitting beside me to compete against, I didn't feel the pressure to speed through.

I went with 2 wing eating techniques that I'm comfortable with. For the drummies, I used the Spin Move, basically taking the drummy and spinning it removing all the meat from the bone. Again I can speed this up as I was a bit slow, but it worked excellent for removing a lot of chicken quick. The other move I used was the Small Bone Twist, with some variations using the wingette piece. When done successful, the meat can be sucked off the remaining bone easily (as seen in the video). However, if the nub is tough at all, it can be time consuming to rip apart (as seen in the video).

The key is that I have to have chicken in my mouth at all times and just go go go.

What was successful about the event?

• Well, not eating earlier in the day did help (this was a lunch affair) so I had built up some hunger.
• I didn't concern myself with the mess on my face or hands. Oh it was bugging me, having crafted for years the art of eating wings without making too bad a social faux pas.
• I was able to consume the wings and pop, with out pain, discomfort or hiccups. Last time, I began to hiccup during consumption, and that for sure slows one down. And I thought the pop and the carbonization of the liquid was going to cause some pain, but it went down smooth.
• My mouth remained lubricated, so I could keep eating. When I did the Duff's Wall of Pain
  challenges (1 & 2), halfway through I lost my saliva and my ability to down the wings was a problem. I don't know what I did this time to avoid this, but it was good.

On Sunday, I know what I need to do. I felt good after the wings, so it is just a matter of speeding everything up. I can do this.

Wish me luck!
