Ex-UFC Fighter Opens Up Restaurant To Serve The Ultimate Baked Wings

From chin checking opponents in the UFC’s Octagon to smacking tastebuds with the flavor of his baked chicken wings, Chris “The Beast” Aguilera knows he’s built for both.

Running JD’s Wingz & Thingz in Placentia, CA as Chef Beast, Aguilera is causing a buzz with his flavor-intensive, baked chicken wings. “We have, what I consider, the world’s best baked wings,” he declared.

JD’s Wingz & Thingz arose from Aguilera’s vision to revolutionize game day food with healthier options. Renowned for hosting lively fight night gatherings, Aguilera continuously experimented with diverse flavors and served them there to his friends, sparking the inspiration for his signature baked wings.

In his UFC debut against Anthony Ivy on June 13, 2020, Aguilera clinched a victory via TKO in less than a minute. His outstanding performance not only earned him the coveted Performance of the Night award but also provided the bonus that helped him establish JD’s Wingz & Thingz.

“Now I think we’re at a point where we really could compete for being the world’s best chicken,” beamed Aguilera with fight night confidence. A bold claim, sure, but putting it to the test is always the fun part for customers.
