I’m not normally a chicken wing eater, but I hear about others liking them. Thought I’d get some at the store the other day, but they were $3.99 a pound while drumsticks were only $1.99 a pound.
For you chicken wing enthusiasts - why would chicken wings be worth the $2 more a pound? What are you doing with them? Talk me out of the drumsticks I bought instead.
More seasoning to meat ratio. And the meat is tender like breast meat, but fatty enough to not be dry. Easy to eat with your hands and to share. Easy to cook fast and thoroughly in a deep fryer. And used to be dirt cheap. I remember 10 cent wing nights at bars to bring in people and make them thirsty. Basically selling them at cost. Would be more like 50 cents now. But they got popular, so you never see it anymore. Now they sell for a huge profit.
