When it comes to chicken wings-- the prices are high and the supply is low thanks to supply-chain issues.

Wings have been high priced for years.

Tip - If you frequently purchase whole chickens, but off the raw wings and freeze them in a bag that can continue to be added to. Eventually, you'll have enough for a batch of hot wings. Most people won't miss the wings off a roasted chicken since they tend to dry out and burn anyway. Also, use all three sections of the wings. waste not, want not.

Or use the tenders or slice up a breast.

Never understood why other parts weren't used. Hilarious the "throw away" parts are in such demand. Sort of like lobster used to be poor folk food.

Stacey Abrams: “I been shonuff way ahead on that Thighstop stuff. Takes two of them measuring tapes stuck together end to end to get around either of mine.”

By the way, I got a telemarketing digital recording of her today -——hung up fast.

I just grilled and we ate part of a spatchcocked chicken. As you say, the wings are fine.

We have “vaccines” that implant genes in our cells, but we don’t have six winged chickens? Where are our priorities?

Because of covid disrupting the supply chain, chickens have thighs but not wings.

Chicken thighs have more flavor and a lot more meat. I prefer boneless better than bone-in.

Reminded me of the old Hillary Clinton KFC meal deal.

Two large thighs and two small breasts.

It’s been so long I forgot the whole thing:

Two large thighs and two small breasts and a left wing.
