I like wing because they have a lot of skin on them, which is my favorite part of the chicken. They are ridiculously overpriced for what they are and you can't find the big, meaty wings at any grocery stores

giant food scam
The biggest is squirrel. Bone to meat ratio is worse than chicken wings.

Agreed. Not only are they mediocre at best as a foodstuff, they also are now associated with and marketed toward a bro culture that I don't subscribe to. The whole concept is lame.

Team flats for life.

The DW likes the drums, so we are wing compatible.

Me too, but it's some of the only part of chicken meat I like, as well. A big turkey wing is delicious.

I saw some wings someone had from Church's recently. They were HUGE. I think they had a good part of the breast attached to them. The flat was even big, though.

There used to be this yellow food truck that would come by a few times a week, Their "6 piece wing meal had 6 whole wings and they were fried perfectly. I miss those guys.

The meat ratio part is not a sometimes but rarely. There is more meat on the flats per bone weight


So if buying wings by the piece, you'd want the drummettes. If at rouses or whole foods and buying some wings by the pound, you should get the flats.

The flats might be the best two bites on the whole fried chicken.

I hung out with him once. I had fun

He's right about the wing joints. Turible crowd

I laugh at the people waddling out of wing stop with a bag of wings for dinner. That shite is a party favor not a meal. Buy some wings to share with friends at a football game but it's not for dinner on a Tuesday night

I've had Popeye's wings for dinner/supper on a Tuesday night and on other nights of the week a number of times. Good meal.

Explain? Something wrong with enjoying chicken wings as a meal? You never eat pizza or a burger for dinner either?
