I really, really, really love chicken wings

[Zuni]

just thought I would let you all in on my deepest and darkest secret.

:hi:

[Hugin]

1. The real question is...

Do you also like pie?

[Zuni]

2. absolutely

:9

[Hugin]

4. Then you're my hero!

:thumbsup:

[swag]

3. Me too. Every Saturday after oil painting class:

5. I don't like them if they're fried.

I prefer to bake them, and smother them in Frank's Hot Sauce. :9

[swag]

6. Iconoclast!

[redqueen]

22. Well I don't!

They're too ... I dunno, but I don't like it. :P

[swag]

37. That's fine.

A reviewer of my favorite wings joint in this town also likes the baked ones better.

But the restaurateurs at Fire on the Mountain are Buffalo traditionalists.

Anyway the oil they fry in is hotter than hell, so the wings aren't greasy at all.

[redqueen]

38. Yeah?

That's good to know... I'm not the only one! Yay!

It's really not the greasiness that does it, though. I love greasy food... it's just something about them. Maybe I haven't tried really good fried ones yet. The ones at Hooters and Wing Street I don't like.

[swag]

42. I wonder if baking maybe dries out some of the more distasteful tissues

and fat better than quick-frying does.

I like this article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_wings

Next time I'm at Fire on the Mountain, I'm going to get a $4.00 jar of the hot sauce to go, and just dip carrots and celery in it, alternating dips with Bleu Cheese dressing dips and great swallows of Terminal Gravity IPA.

Maybe I'll have that snack for Sunday breakfast, in fact.

It's really about that sauce, for me.

[underpants]

7. Try these

[swag]

8. I've had those.

I've noticed a flavor inconsistency.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Me, too! Especially the big ones that they make at the little Chinese

places in Manhattan.

Chicken wings RULEZ!

[Taverner]

10. I know one place that has great wings!

[NaturalHigh]

13. I was just thinking of that!

[El Fuego]

21. The wings at Hooters are gross!

I suspect you really like the breasts and thighs... :eyes:

[Taverner]

27. To be honest I've never had them

And I've never been to a Hooters - Tavernerspouse would string me up by my extremities...

[El Fuego]

34. LOL!

It's probably better in your imagination anyways...

[NaturalHigh]

36. Gross?

They have the best boneless buffalo wings I've ever tasted.

[El Fuego]

43. Never had those.

Their regular chicken wings actually had pinfeathers on them. Fried feathers--it was disgusting!

:puke:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. A new place just opened here.

Buffalo Wild Wings. My daughter says the wings are the best ones she has ever had.

[Zuni]

12. I am a Cluck-U man myself

I don't know if they have any in your area

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Never heard of it. But, that is a pretty funny name.

:rofl:

[AngryAmish]

26. Its a chain

However I like their wings. Plus the beer is really cheap. And lots of tvs to watch sports. The rest of the menu is terrible but the wings themselves are good.

[davidinalameda]

41. they are the best

I used to order their sauces on line

they rock!

don't go to their website unless you have the volume turned WAY down though

[XNASA]

15. The cooked kind?

:shrug:

[Zuni]

16. only if you DON'T want salmonella

I on the other hand, love intestinal diseases

[XNASA]

17. Oh. You eat them.

I just thought you might have like them for some other reason. Like a hat decoration or something.

[cassandra uprising]

18. sniff, sniff

The old waterhole in CT had the best chicken wings ever. I can't find any nearly as good in NYC. And I've been looking, trust me.

*shake fist at sky*

[Zuni]

24. there are 8 million people in NYC

surely there is 1 man, 1 lone patriot who knows how to make a decent wing.

Keep looking grasshopper. You will find the wings of your dreams.

[progmom]

19. i really don't like them

....for the same reason i really don't like fried chicken. not a big fan of chicken still attached to bones. i'm kind of squeamish that way. :shrug:

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. My cat is blocking the TV.

[redqueen]

23. It's doing it on purpose, too.

Just thought you should know.

[Zuni]

25. My cat tries to block books

she doesn't like me reading

[redqueen]

30. I think all cats do that.

Anti-literature elitists they are!

[Hobarticus]

28. Just don't LOVE your wings...

That ain't right.

[whalerider55]

29. the sad history

i lived in buffalo ny in the 70's and 80's as the chicken wing process was being developed.

they apparently were createrd accidentally by a cook at Frank and Theresa's Anchor Bar downtown when the wrong order was delivered.

i would say that the legend among students was that the last question that they asked when you went down there for a job interview was "are you jewish," but a friend who had applied told me they'd asked her that. and she complained to the city, and was told to get in line, and that she probably wouldn't really want to pursue a complaint. all depends on what you believe, i s'pose.
i never applied for a job there, so it could be urban legend.

i do love them wings, tho, but no-one i know ever went to the place they were created.

i can remember coming back from work at 3 in the morning, stopping to get wings, and walking the streets, which were literally strewn with wing bones (ten cents a pop) and the sounds of dogs cracking the bones open.

31. Hmmm ~ I love chicken wings too!

There! I've said it! There is no turning back now.

[Jamastiene]

32. I haven't caught up to this phenomenon yet, but I know I love breasts.

:evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Zuni!!! where have you been?

:hi: :bounce: good to see you!!! Yippee! Now STAY!

[ChoralScholar]

35. They're okay. Too much work for too little meat. EOM

[RandomKoolzip]

39. Me too. I don't like to eat them, though. I just like to look at them.

Is that weird?

[HEyHEY]

40. You know they're made from lips and assholes, right?

[swag]

44. Yes, but so is the entire cosmos.
