Kentish Town’s Caribbean takeaway joint Hoodwood (by Guanabana) is hopping on the eating challenge trend this summer and launching a Chicken Wing Eating Challenge on National Chicken Wing Day. (Tuesday 29th July).

The premise is simple – entrants pay £20 and have 60 minutes to devour as many plates of Hoodwood’s delicious wood-smoked chicken wings as they can. There will be five wings on each plate, and entrants must finish each plate of wings before ordering another. For an added flavour kick guests can enjoy the wings with Hoodwood’s homemade Hot Pepper sauce, but be warned – not everyone can take the heat…

Entrants can try their luck from Tuesday 29th July for four weeks, until Tuesday 26th August, and each score will be added to Hoodwood’s leaderboard. At the end of the competition the winner will be crowned and given a Hoodwood voucher to spend and Hoodwood t-shirt, as well as everlasting glory, of course.

Hoodwood opened in April of this year as part of the Maginhawa Group from acclaimed restaurateur Omar Shah. The takeaway spot is styled upon legendary Caribbean smokehouse Guanabana next door, and serves up slow cooked meats and patty pies served with plantain and rice, as well as a delicious range of sides including slaw or sweet potato fries.

Head over to Hoodwood from 29th July to try the challenge and see if you can be crowned the Chicken Wing King or Queen!
