Nashville Chef Alex Belew Wins the Chicken Wing Challenge on Episode 2 of Hell’s Kitchen

Chef Alex Belew enters week two of Hell’s Kitchen: Battle of the Ages with a perfect score and positive attitude. Once again, Belew has proven his place this season by winning the chicken wing challenge and earning a punishment pass.

Alex is no chicken when it comes to preparing wings. Confited at 250 degrees for 10 minutes, Belew cooked up a flavorful batch of general tso’s inspired chicken wings. His determination to stay ahead has motivated him to think outside the (lunch) box and steer clear of Gordon’s chopping block.

Gordon begins, “I love the fact that you’re elevating that Chinese [dish].” He continues, “Congratulations Alex, well done. [Alex’s wings] …had the edge.”

“I’m pumped I got this win and this punishment pass. I’ve got to keep proving to these kids that I’m a real threat, and I’m not just winging it.” add Belew.

Catch Chef Alex on the next episode of “Hell’s Kitchen: Battle of the Ages”, Thursday, October 13th at 8/7c on FOX.
