Season 5

1. Taraji P. Henson Needs a Stunt Double to Eat Spicy Wings

Hot Ones is back, and it's hotter than ever. In the Season 5 premiere, actress Taraji P. Henson—whose roles include bad-b*tch extraordinaire Cookie Lyon on Empire—becomes the first brave celebrity to battle the all-new wings of death. But not everything goes according to plan: After breaking down her Mary J. Blige–approved chili recipe and explaining what Cookie would make of Cardi B, Taraji pulls one of the most unorthodox moves in Hot Ones history, calling in some extra muscle—and a little whiskey—to tame the rising flames.
