BUFFALO, N.Y (WIVB) - Buffalo knows its way around a chicken wing, that's for sure.

Competitive eaters from around the world gathered at Wing Fest in downtown Buffalo today to dive into our city's delectable finger food.

The goal: devour as many chicken wings as possible in twelve minutes. In the end, it was Joey Chestnut who prevailed.


Enjoy these unique Buffalo chicken wing recipes:

Wing-inspired cupcakes

Wings from the "Wing King" Drew Cerza himself

Thai Honey wings

Chicken Francaise

British mustard and garlic parm wings


Chestnut consumed 7.61 pounds of chicken wings in just 12 minutes. The total amount of wings eaten equate to an incredible 191 wings.

After an intense competition, Sonya Thomas, also known as the Black Widow, came in second during the U.S. Chicken Wing Eating Championship.
