Due to a decrease in wing production?!? What, they are only raising one winged chickens this year?
Buying chicken wings is too expensive. Before you cook a whole chicken, cut off the wings and add them to a freezer baggie. Eventually, you’ll have enough for hot wings. Wings saved from 77 cents a pound whole chickens sure beats the article’s $2.11. Do the same with the gizzards and livers to use for a meal later.
Boil the carcass for stock instead of having to buy it.
Waste not, want not.
