Dark meat you say?

[paindonthurt]

Maybe you do have some sense.

 

[Dawgbite]

I just logged on for the first time in probably over a year to call you a *****

Who knew we had a Transchicksual in our midst?

Option C- order some breaded breast meat chunks that have been coated in buffalo sauce and actually get something that is fully edible and doesn't make you work hard.

I feel like of all the crazy **** you've posted to this board, this is by far the craziest and most bannable.

 

[Dawgg]

Probly doesn't eat crawfish either

I was thinking the same thing.

"Option C - Get some shelled, de-tailed, de-veined, fried shrimp."

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

Ah 17it. I'll say it. Wings are overrated by too many people. Nothing pisses me off more than getting invited to a "BBQ" and getting there to see there are 20 people and the host figured 30-40 wings would feed everyone. I am pretty sure I burn more calories eating the little 17ers than I get out of them. They're an appetizer not the main course.

I don't think wings deserve a spot in the top 10 of the BBQ/Grilling/Cookout world.

Brisket, steak, ribs, pulled pork, smoked sausage, tri tip, brats, fried fish, crawfish, and burgers are better in my book. Come at chicken 17ers.

ETA: glfr is 17d. Bone in is a hundred times better than boneless.

I guess you don't like ribs either. Too much work vs a pork butt.

Slight hijack…but the last time I went to the local Moe’s BBQ here in town, they had jacked up the price of their wing plate to 17ing NINETEEN DOLLARS. For a pound of wings….6 or 7 at most.

There was an actual shortage of wings (moreso, a shortage of labor to process them as opposed to the wings themselves) around the middle of last year. This led to temporary price hikes in some places. But that **** has long since subsided, yet you have the asshats still just keeping them up there in price because its the only above average item on the menu. 17 Moe’s.

Man I’ve tried to figure it out but I just wind up with skins.

Put your thumb right under where the 2 bones come together. Once there, just push up with your thumb and the bones will split.

 

[HumpDawgy]

I grab the end and split the two bones, I’m able to get all the meat then.

Not sure why, but I’ve always preferred the flats

Team Flats here and ^^^This all day....no wasted meat^^^^

 

[The Peeper]

or you could just bread some cotton balls, put some Buffalo sauce (nasty stuff by the way) on them and chew away. The cotton balls have the same consistency as breast meat, dry and chewy.

 

[dawgman42]

I thought this was another JR thread.**

 

[maroonmadman]

TRUTH.

The best piece of chicken is the bone-in thigh.

Leg/thigh quarters rule.

 

[maroonmadman]

Point of contention: One wing - as sold via the many sources - is actually half a wing? They cut off the wing tip, cut the rest into two pieces and sell it as "2 wings" when in actuality you are getting two half wings. What a rip off. A wing should be a full wing.

"Whole"

 

[Hot Rock]

Eat em long ways and try to get all the meat from one end to the other

Or go in sideways and get 5 bites from the side?

So long as they are soaked in Dales, I am good.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

Sideways then split and clean the bones

Wings (and dark meat in general) taste infinitely better than white meat. Plus its boned meat which tastes better too. It’s not that hard to eat chicken wings unless you’re trying to eat them with a fork which is probably what you do.

/takesdeepbreathinanticipationofagreeingwithmstateglfr

Which is why I think they are somewhat wasted in buffalo wings. I don't eat buffalo wings to taste dark meat. I eat buffalo wings to have buffalo flavored meat. And Buffalo chicken strips give me all the flavor I want with meat that is not dried out.

Wings are for smoking. Chicken breast is for frying.

/hangsheadinshame

I'll see myself out.

 

[maroonmadman]

"Whole"

That too.

Just because they are an appetizer doesn't mean they're not great. I would say a great smoked wing is as good as a couple of bites of any of the items you mentioned. I wouldn't want to eat just wings or just smoked sausage as a main course though. Same with crab cakes (ignoring the 75% of them that should be called breading cakes and are only even acceptable as an appetizer before a main course of steak marinated in italian dressing along with microwavable "twice baked" potatoes); they're good and phenomenal when done right, but i'm not sure they're an entree.

 

[paindonthurt]

Did you buy a Buffalo wing sandwich or a Buffalo chicken sandwich?

 

[Dawgbite]

Scoreboard Club finally added wings to the menu a couple of years ago. Finally, I mean what goes better together than wings, beer, and football? They didn't put them on the buffet, they had a serving station. You got THREE 17ing wings. THREE!

I'd never thought of it that way, but you make a point that is factually and logically correct.

Somebody on this board needs to make this argument when he is presented the bill at a wing restaurant and demand to see the manager.

Three full or three halfs?

I eat wings for three reason: the skin, the fat, and the gristle. If you’re not eating everything but the bone then you’re not Doing it correctly.

The price has come down some but still high. 2 years ago a 40lb case of wings would be 70. A few months ago the same case is 170. It’s been crazy

When I do wings at home it’s always smoked. It gives them the best flavor and I either use a dry rub or will lightly brush them with sauce about 30 minutes before they’re done. I like the Wing Guru Memphis Honey Gold.

You’re not supposed to eat the bone?

Same for me. In fact, wings are the one thing that I always do well when I bbq on the Weber.

Save them for bone broth….give the meat to the dogs

I’ve never been able to get skin the way I like it on a truly smoked wing (cooked at a low temp). What has become my favorite way is to the vortex on my Weber kettle.

I will usually dry brine in kosher salt overnight, hit it with pepper and garlic (or whatever rub I feel like using) then throw them in the vortex. Takes usually about 20 minutes. Get a hint of smoke from the charcoal and any wood I put in the grill but still get a good crisp skin.
