Alvarez—Philadelphia Daily News/AP by [Sam Frizell](https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/) ## Sam Frizell Feb 1, 2014 4:29 PM UTC Molly Schuyler is no chicken when it comes to wings. The 5-foot-7, 125-pound mother of four flew past the competition to put down 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes at the [Wing Bowl 22](http://espn.go.com/espn/story/%5F/id/10381977/molly-schuyler-eats-363-wings-30-minutes-shatter-wing-bowl-record) on Friday, smashing the previous record held by Takeru Kobayashi, who ate 337 wings at the event in 2012. The Nebraskan competitive eater faced tough competition from Patrick Bertoletti, a Chicago native who ate 356 wings. And she didn’t exactly wing it: she had to eat nine pounds of cottage cheese in 114 seconds to qualify for the competition. But Schuyler’s effort at the 8 a.m. challenge brought her a $22,000 top prize in the competition. Schuyler also holds a world record for [eating a 72-ounce steak](http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/01/10/watch-this-woman-set-the-record-for-fastest-time-eating-an-entire-72-oz-steak/) in less than three minutes. \[[ESPN](http://espn.go.com/espn/story/%5F/id/10381977/molly-schuyler-eats-363-wings-30-minutes-shatter-wing-bowl-record)\] Molly Schuyler Wins Wing Bowl 22 By Eating 363 Chicken Wings ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5701/molly-schuyler-eats-363-chicken-wings-in-30-minutes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5701/molly-schuyler-eats-363-chicken-wings-in-30-minutes/"},"headline":"Molly Schuyler Eats 363 Chicken Wings In 30 Minutes","datePublished":"2014-02-01T16:29:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:05.093Z","description":"Mother of four flies into the record books at Wing Bowl 22","url":"https://time.com/5701/molly-schuyler-eats-363-chicken-wings-in-30-minutes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Bizarre","Chicken"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta43822b485ff0d22/698682413bc9991cbb1a1faf/molly-schuyler-wing-bowl-champion.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta43822b485ff0d22/698682413bc9991cbb1a1faf/molly-schuyler-wing-bowl-champion.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"From left: A wingette cheers on contestant Molly Schuyler, of Omaha, Neb., during the Sportsradio 94 WIP's Wing Bowl 22 held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, on Jan. 31, 2014.","caption":"From left: A wingette cheers on contestant Molly Schuyler, of Omaha, Neb., during the Sportsradio 94 WIP's Wing Bowl 22 held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, on Jan. 31, 2014.","creditText":"Alejandro A.
