About the Contest

Traditional Wing Prep

All wings must be prepared on-site starting from raw ingredients. Frozen or pre-cooked wings are strictly prohibited to ensure maximum freshness for our community.

Competition Guidelines

Arrival time will be 8 am and judging will begin around 1 pm. Teams will be judged on their sauce flavor, team name, preparation & presentation. Judges will be members of the youth program including adults, sr high youth, and jr. high youth. This will be a learning experience for them as well. Keep in mind that some junior high youth still have sensitive palettes when selecting the level of heat.

Hygiene & Safety

Professional food handling standards must be maintained throughout the event. Every station will be provided with access to water, but you must bring a generator for electricity. Bathrooms will also be available throughout the event.

Judging & Rewards

Judging will begin around 1 pm and Awards will be handed out around 3 pm. Number of awards will be proportionate to the number of registered teams. It's important to note that this is meant to be a fundraiser for a non-profit organization. Awards will be Amazon Gift Cards and trophies with the intent that teams will be able to upgrade their cooking tools.
