I've had wings too hot for me to eat before. Only once. The place I had them at ... their second hottest wings were the second hottest I've ever had, and their third hottest might have even been the third.
But the hottest wings there... holy hell. I love hot food, and regularly indulge in ridiculous Thai, Indian and Mexican dishes that generate considerable heat. But these stopped me dead. One wing, and I was utterly uninterested in a second. Several pints of beer just lit my throat on fire as well.
I had a friend who was long considered to be basically immune to spice. You know the dish of fresh chilis and fish sauce they give you at some Thai places? He'd eat that like a salad. He polished off a dozen of these wings, in one agonizing evening, and it nearly killed him. Sweating, vomiting, shaking... and in the morning, complaints of temporary blindness.
So, I've found my match, and I'll take my leave of them. Most commercial places produce wings that are barely hot enough to tickle, even while advertising "the hottest wings ever" or some such nonsense.
