Spiciest Food in America is Found in an Illinois Wings Joint

If you demand the spiciest food available, you need to journey to a corner place in Illinois that has just been recognized for having the hottest wings in America and there's some science to prove it, too.

In a roundup of the spiciest food in America, one Illinois place stands above all the others. According to Cheapism, the hottest food challenge in America that is certain to light up your life (and tongue) is at Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap in Chicago, Illinois.They serve up a flaming hot dish called the XXXX Hot Chicken Wings and there are 4 X's for a reason.

It's no accident that this Chicago, Illinois place has you put a fireman's helmet and gloves on if you accept their food challenge. Cheapism says the flavors they use to heat up these wings include "Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers, ghost pepper, habanero, and the notorious Carolina Reaper". The Carolina Reaper? I think my ulcer exploded just thinking about it.

Yes, there's even a bell to ring if you become overwhelmed with the spicy heat goodness. That's what has earned it the title as the spiciest food challenge in America and it makes its home in Illinois.
