Format

The format involves Evans and his guest(s) eating ten chicken wings, each prepared with a progressively hotter hot sauce. Its tagline, stated by Evans at the beginning of each episode, is "The show with hot questions, and even hotter wings." The first sauce in the series is usually something relatively mild such as Sriracha, which has a rating of 2,200 Scoville units. The final sauce (as of season 4), Hot Ones' own The Last Dab, has a Scoville rating of 2,000,000+. After each wing, Evans asks his guest an interview question. As the wings get hotter, the guest begins to display the effects of eating the spicier wings and the interview becomes less about the guest and more about the struggle to finish the wings. The guests are also provided glasses of water and milk to counteract the effect of the wings. The standard show is Evans and one guest eating ten wings each, but in some episodes where there are two guests (such as the episode featuring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele) only five wings are given to each guest. A guest who successfully finishes all ten wings is given the opportunity to promote their upcoming projects; guests who fail are still afforded this opportunity but are added to the show's Hall of Shame.

Hot sauce lineup

Note when there are two guests on the show the sauces are cut in half. The Scoville units listed below for Season 1 are based on Scott Roberts web Scoville scale whereas the following seasons are based on the units displayed in the episodes, which sometimes results in the same sauce having different ratings in different seasons.
