“... chicken wings are overpriced”

Not sure your age, smoking.. but when I was younger.. wings were considered crab bait (along with necks, of course). My Mom would get a huge pack of them for stock, too. Now they are more expensive than the on sale legs, thighs and sometimes... breasts.

Before spicy chicken wings became popular, you could buy them very cheap, almost like soup bones. Actually, they are pretty good for making soup.

Yeah, I remember back in the 60's & 70's it seemed like you could buy a pick up truck full of wings for a couple of bucks.

They're still not haute cuisine, but their stock has sure gone up in the past couple of decades.
