Slow Burn, Good Eats

Several of my friends like to frequent the new (-ish) bar in town, Millers' Langhorne Ale House:



and I usually try to go with them. They have pretty good food and the drinks are cheap (relatively). But one thing which stands out above the rest, for me at least, is their hot wings. They make them well and most importantly, they make them HOT. Or at least, they try to. As with any spicy food, it really depends on who makes the sauce for these wings that makes all the difference concerning whether they are good or not. The hottest wings served at this particular establishment are the Mt. Saint Helens Wings.



The wings are great with this sauce. It is the hottest sauce the place offers, but the wings just aren't the same without it. It gives them just enough kick that you're sweating a little while eating them, but not so much that it melts your face and you can't eat anything for the rest of the month. They also go great with beer, almost any beer for that matter (REAL beer, not your run-of-the-mill crap like Lionshead and Natural Ice, I'm talking real beer that isn't brewed in a piss-filled sewer).



On the heat-scale, I wouldn't think that these wings would rate very high, hotter than the average sonora pepper, if I had to guess I would think that they added some jalapenos to the sauce to give it some spice, but I doubt that they use anything hotter than that. However, regardless of heat intensity, it is still there and works for the wings. I would highly recommend this spicy dish to anyone who wants to feel a little burn.
