- Which chicken wing is the king of the chicken wing?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good mythical summer.
- Welcome back to another week of good mythical summer.
And if three episodes a week is not enough for you,
fear not mystical beast because we will back
to our regular schedule of an episode everyday,
five days a week, beginning with our season 14.
Season 14.
- 14.
- Premiere on August 20th.
- But before we do that we have some pressing matters
to attend to today.
You've spent your whole life walking around
not knowing what the best chicken wing was
according to two men on the internet
who are doing everything in their power
to desperately hold on to a sliver of their youth.
- Well, today we're gonna remedy that.
It's time for we're wingin' it
to see which wing is bringin' it.
(chicken croaking)
We're gonna be tasting wings from various restaurants
while wearing blindfolds.
Each wing will be the original hot flavor.
Then we're gonna rate the wings on a scale of one to 10,
and then guess which restaurant they are from.
- Whichever wing has the highest of our combined scores
will be crowned the lord of the wings.
Whichever of us identifies the most correctly
will also be crowned the lord of the wings,
but we'll actually get a crown.
- Oh great.
- The prize is a chicken wing crown.
- Okay.
The contenders are Hooters, Buffalo Wild Winds,
Wingstop, Wing Street, which is AKA Pizza Hut,
Domino's and KFC.
Not all KFC's sell bone in wings,
but we found one that did.
- Let's get some wings.
- [Both] Round one.
- As you can see we can't.
- And all our wings will be brought to us
on our very own patent pending Bling Wing.
- Now before we bring it in I consider you more
of a wing aficionado.
I think you have an advantage here.
- Ah, I love wings.
- And I'm interested which one comes our on top.
Do you have a predictions?
- I think that Wingstop is my favorite wing.
That's what I would just say if you asked me.
- Buffalo Wild Wings has a lot of flavors,
so I'm assuming that their original is very good.
Right.
The hot wing.
- Yeah, but it's so many distractions there.
You don't know.
- That's true.
That's true.
You mean with the screens, sports.
- No, but so many different flavors.
Wingstop just has like--
- Two.
- Five or six or something like that.
- All right, bring in the first one.
- Oh gosh, a lot of pressure on me today.
- I'm gonna get the hot lips.
Oh feather, wow.
- I got a whole bone in my mouth.
- Oh really, you ripped the whole thing out of the clip.
- No, just a bone.
- Oh nasty.
- I just spit a bone and it hit one of my bones.
- As long as you don't--
- My finger bone.
- Don't hit it towards me.
- Oh, this is soft.
- We got a nice spicy flavor, not too overpowering.
- I'm not a huge fan of this one.
- You think.
Why?
- It doesn't have um.
There's not a lot of crispiness.
I think that--
- It's a little soggy.
- It's got a little bit of a sogginess.
Now that could be just because they've been out for a while.
I don't know.
But not a huge--
- There's a sweetness in the spicy sauce.
- And a sweetness that I don't particularly like.
I'm gonna give this one a four
'cause I think there's a lot of room for improvement.
- Yeah, I would agree with that.
I'm gonna also go with a four.
- [Woman] You ready to guess?
- What is it?
- I got a guess.
- [Woman] Three, two, one.
- Wing Street. - Domino's.
Okay, you think Wing Street.
See, I think Domino's because the sogginess--
- It could be Domino's.
- It was like one of those wrapped in foil
and delivered with a pizza kind of a vibe.
- Well Wing Street is from Pizza Hut,
so that would also be the case.
- Okay.
- So, I think that's definitely Domino's or Wing Street,
and I'm not 100% sure.
(chicken croaking) (upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Round two.
- I've never had a KFC wing.
- Well, you will this morning.
Bring it in.
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
Bigger wing.
Oh my goodness.
(laughing)
What is happening?
What is happening?
There it goes.
- Huh.
- I think I ate a string attached to a wing.
- That wing it--
- Meaty.
- Genetically modified.
- I can taste a bigger wing, more meaty.
It's more fried.
- That is a good wing.
- Really good wing.
- I don't think it's perfect wing.
- You said genetically modified,
but I think the chicken itself and the fried part
taste better than the previous wing by a long shot.
- It's like the chicken had been working out.
- But the sauce itself was the little underwhelming.
- A little weak.
- It was quite mild.
- Hmm, man.
At first I'm gonna give this one a six
because it's a step up from what we tasted,
but it's not a perfect wing.
- Yeah I mean, I really like it.
You know what I'm in total agreement.
A six.
Two notches up from the previous.
I'm ready to guess.
- [Woman] Three, two one.
- Buffalo Wild Wings. - Windstop.
Okay, so we're both thinking higher end wing chain
dedicated to a good wing.
- I thought that I would like it more
if it was from Wingstop.
Again, not all these are the same,
so I don't know.
I think that one of us have gotten both of these right,
and the other has gotten both of them wrong,
and I don't know who's who at this point.
- There's other options.
- Another time.
(laughing)
(chicken croaking) (upbeat music)
- [Both] Round three.
- Sink out teeth into another wing.
- There's something dangling on there.
I believe we got a little dangle.
- Oh yeah.
- I think I can control it better like this.
- First of all, I'm just smelling this one.
It smells totally different.
- Oh, way different.
- More breading.
- Uh-huh.
I think I pulled some of it with it.
Is it illegal to touch it?
