KANSAS CITY, Mo. –Each year, Wings 4 Water hosts an event where competitors prepare their tastiest wings and serve them in designated tents.
But, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, organizers are making some adjustments.
Wings 4 Water is preparing 400 boxes for guests to pick up on Sept, 10 and try at home. This is a great way to kick off the Chiefs home opener against the Houston Texans.
For every box purchased, a person will have clean water for at least a decade. You can reserve your box here.
There are 19 competitors this year and there will be several different flavors for you to try.
Dave Eckert, a food and beverage journalist, introduces just one of many flavors that will be debuted this year. Here’s a spicy yet sweet recipe using Steph & Steve’s Bees Honey Habanero.

- 3 lbs wings
