From Mild to Fiery

Wing Dome — Seattle

Turn up the heat by visiting the "home of the burn," otherwise known as the Wing Dome. Roger Mooking and Aaron Sanchez tested these nuclear nibbles in the 7-Alarm Challenge, when they attempted to devour seven of the sweat-inducing wings in just seven minutes. The explosive sauce of cayenne, chile flakes, jalapeno, horseradish and habanero peppers had them waving the white flag in mere minutes, and they quickly ordered the "recovery kit," an ice cream sandwich and two ice-cold glasses of milk. Before you sacrifice your taste buds to a spicy fate, be sure to try out the Wing Dome's less-incendiary flavors, like Thai Sweet Chile or Triple Garlic (pictured).

Beer Belly — Los Angeles

The owner of this Koreatown brewpub admits to being obsessed with his rotating lineup of craft beers, but it's the blend of "good American and hearty comfort food" that brings in the regulars. Serving up sweet Honey Dijon & Cilantro, Buffalo Blue and super-spicy Volcano Chipotle chicken wings, the kitchen provides plenty of savory bites to pair with your beer flight. Guy Fieri tried the fiery Volcano Chipotle wings on Triple D and loved the saucy combination of adobo and Sriracha with applewood liquid smoke and a housemade blue cheese dressing. The locals say it's easy to spend hours at Beer Belly enjoying the endless craft beer options and inventive wings.

Jake Melnick's Corner Tap — Chicago

While the menu at this Windy City taproom features approachable flavors like traditional Buffalo and Poncho's Garlic and Cayenne, the most famous are the XXX wings (pictured). These "angry" wings are so hot that if you're brave enough to order them, you'll be rewarded with your picture on Jake's Wall of Flame and a fire hat. The wing sauce is made with the "king daddy of all peppers," the ghost pepper, which is 400 times hotter than a jalapeno. So if you're a fearless heat seeker, order the XXX platter while enjoying the game on one of the 22 televisions surrounding the bar. Or take your game-day experience to new heights by renting out the bar's keg room and patio for a private tailgate.
