Who really does the best wings?
London are you ready!? The world's biggest chicken wing
show-down returns for 2025, The Year of The Chicken Wing! We will
once again provide London with the answer to that burning question
- who really does the best wings? On the 25th, 26th and 27th
of July at London Stadium, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park,
competitors from across the UK will work their culinary magic in a
bid to be crowned the King or Queen of the Wing.
Wing Fest will see 45 contestants, and 90 types of wings, battle
it out in three fiercely contested categories:
Best Buffalo Wing
Described in the North American dictionary, from where this
mighty morsel hales, as "Deep-fried wings coated in a spicy sauce."
Of course to those in the know, this description simply doesn’t do
this wonderful creation justice and the search for the best out
there is fiercely contested across the world.
Best Wild Wing
This category is looking to explore and demonstrate the many
exciting ways a chicken wing can be prepared and served in the
broadest sense possible. In this category anything goes. Any
flavour, any technique, any taste. Basically the rule is, there are
no rules.
Best BBQ Wing
This all time classic flavour deserves its own category, which
we introduced in 2023. Experts in this distinguished field use
everything from fire, smoke, fry and bake, not to mention
incredible sauce recipes that are often handed down from generation
to generation. This is a big category and very popular.
The culinary warriors battling it out in 2025 are a mixture of
street food vendors, pop up legends, BBQ teams and restaurants from
all over the UK.
All wings will be sold in individual joints drums or flats at
£1.50 each to allow voters to try as many wings as possible from
each of the contestants.
For the greediest of wing eaters among you, the incredibly
popular Wing Eating Competition will again be taking place on
all 3 event days.
The deadly Clifton Chilli Club Lava Wing Challenge which is the
hottest in the world is guaranteed to cause carnage is also taking
place on all 3 days.
Sign up for both competitions will be on the day at the main
stage. Keep an ear out for the announcements.
We'll have charismatic BBQ chefs ruling the roost on the Chicken
Shed stage. Here you can expect tantalising cooking demonstrations,
BBQ tips, fun shows and DJs later in the day!
New for 2025 is the Splash Zone. Wings, water, fun and games!
What could go wrong. The Side Show stage is back along with
amusement attractions, roaming musicians, beer puppeteer and free
axe throwing!
There will be live music, street buskers, bourbon master
classes, bbq demonstrations and street entertainment through out
festival on all days, as well as DJs playing summer party vibe
tunes into the night.
