a. Good! Anything that HURTS the NFL and those down the Food Chain is fine with me.

b. Wings? I’ve NEVER understood the obsession. Drummies? Maybe. But seriously, BOTH are the dumbest snacks to ever be foisted upon us. Ever.

c. Great Marketing, though; I DO admire that! Find a TINY scrap of meat and make it a go-to food for sports gatherings? Brilliant, actually. ;)

d. So, how did your Granddaddy make his fortune, Sweetheart? He convinced people that a tiny scrap of meat off of a chicken wing was something they could NOT live without!

e. *SMIRK* Wish I was that smart!

I also could never understand the obsession with chicken wings and I don’t like chicken drums either. Since I don’t go to many gatherings where wings are served, I was pleasantly surprised when someone brought boneless wings to a club potluck. They were mostly gone by the time I got to them, but the two I had actually resulted in enough meat to chew. :-)

The truth will eventually out ... i.e. no, no, it’s not the NFL protests causing football related businesses to have less business ..... oh, chicken wings are now down? Ruh roh!! LOL!

Marketing 101. Take a cut of chicken that is only useful for making stock, cook it with a coating of vinegar based hot sauce, find a catchy name.....profit.

Wings and thighs are great for making chicken stock along with a stripped carcass. Lots of collagen, fat, and marrow getting released. When you refrigerate your chicken stock and it gelatinizes it's good stuff according to the chef in my cooking classes.

They can’t just grow parts of chickens yet, so they have to find something to do with all of the parts. (The dark meat and feet go to China).
