REVIEW: KFC Fiery Grilled Wings

The new KFC Fiery Grilled Wings aren’t covered in a sauce, like KFC’s other chicken wing alternatives. Instead they’re marinated in peppers and then grilled. I like the idea of having a sauceless spicy wing because it’s less messy. Although I really do enjoy cleaning my fingers when they’re covered in sauce, because when I do it, it’s not a chore, it’s an art.

Starting with my thumb, I lick the entire length of my finger, from the bottom to the top. When I reach the tip, I flick it with my tongue a few times and then lick around the tip, moving my tongue in a circular motion. I count “one Mississippi” in my head to time each circular lick. Then I wrap my entire mouth around my finger, tightly sealing my lips around my finger’s base.

While my finger is in my mouth, I push my tongue up against the underside of my finger to help make sure I’m getting every little morsel off of it. As I slowly pull my finger out of my orifice, I tighten my grip around it with my lips and then count, “one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi, five Mississippi.” When my lips reach the tip, I smack my lips and then slowly lick them from one side to the other to make sure all the flavor is in my mouth and not anywhere else. Then I repeat the process with the other fingers.

When I want to shake things up a bit, I’ll stick two or three fingers in my mouth at one time. When I’m feeling really adventurous I’ll stick four fingers in. And when I’m under the influence of something, I’ll attempt to fit my entire fist in my mouth.

But again, since the KFC Fiery Grilled Wings aren’t covered in sauce, I won’t need to do any sucking, licking or Mississippi counting.

I enjoyed KFC’s Kentucky Grilled Chicken and I like this smaller, spicier version just as much. However, if you don’t like spicy hot food in your mouth and then coming out your other end, you should avoid these because they will light your ass on fire. On a scale of 1-10 with three being the heat generated by putting your laptop on your lap and 10 being the burning sensation while peeing due to a night of unprotected sex with someone/something you shouldn’t have had unprotected sex with, I feel the KFC Fiery Grilled Wings come in at a seven.

The hot spices also add just enough flavor to not overpower the taste of the Kentucky Grilled Chicken that I know and love. The combination of hot spices with the regular spices added to the grilled chicken make for a delicious bird limb.

If there’s one thing that bothered me about them, it’s the lack of wing pieces. As you can see in the photo above, I received one wing piece and the rest were drumsticks. Actually, now that I think about it, I don’t know if it’s really a negative, since I prefer drumsticks over wings because they’re easier to eat.

Overall, I really liked the KFC Fiery Grilled Wings and if you enjoy spicy wings, you’ll probably like them too. But if you enjoy the sensation of sucking and licking sauce off of your fingers in a NSFW way and/or don’t like spicy food, I wouldn’t recommend these chicken wings.

Item: KFC Fiery Grilled Wings
Price: $4.99
Size: 5 pieces
Purchased at: KFC
Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Delicious bird limbs. Spicy hot. Flavorful. Lack of sauce makes it cleaner to eat. Being able to spell Mississippi correctly. Sucking and licking sauce-covered fingers in a NSFW way.
Cons: Spiciness might be too much for some eaters. Lack of wing pieces might be a problem for some. Those who enjoy sucking and licking sauce-covered fingers will be disappointed.

  1. I fear the fire. I wish I could handle spicy foods better. Me = wimp. Cool to see KFC come through with a decent new item. The bigger size is good. The reg grilled chicken always seemed tiny to me.

  2. Marvo, I think your next vid should demonstrate your finger licking technique. Just that. Just nine minutes of that.

  3. hmmm I think your description rocked! four stars for instructional excellence on finger sucking!

  4. I am an RGM of a KFC and I love these wings, but now after reading this I’m not going to ever be able to look at these again without feeling insanely dirty, thank you for that I can now laugh everyday at work lol

  5. My boyfriend will go nuts when I tell him about these. In fact, he might implode from happiness. And I have only you to blame… 🙂

  6. Halfway though that second paragraph I had to look up and see if this review was from Marvo or Kayla. Then I made a “ew” face, and started to speed-read like I’ve never read before.

  7. Mmmm, chemicals!

    Wish they’d do a ‘natural’ option without all the nasty crap.

    Fiery Grilled Wings:

  8. I find kfc to be so disapointing when i get it. And unfortunately i don’t do spicy.

    I will say that i finally got to try the burger king cupcake milkshake and ummm…ew. I didn’t know milkshakes could be greasy! I guess there is a reason why i avoid BK at all costs. 🙁

  9. My wangs never come out looking that good. Where can I purchase a vat of MSG and a pack of artificial flavoring? I’d eat try these (at least once), but $3.99 for 5? Or am I cheap? How ’bout two dollaas?

  10. You are a true ass. Your description borders on porn and you have no idea how to even make a good sauce let alone enjoy a sauceless wing. go back to masturbating…it suits you better…

    1. If you were looking for a serious food review this is not the website to go to. This website is more directed to people who want to see if food/products are worth buying and to get a laugh or two.

  11. I absolutley LOVE da fiery grilled wings. What do I have to do or who can I contact to get these wings back. I NEED them in my life
