The meat to bone ratio per wing is dreadful, and they also leave your hands a greasy sticky mess

    incorrect. Wings at least are appropriately rated. Wings are a casual appetizer. They aren't for a royal wedding main course. They serve them at Pizza Hut. Every chicken produces two wings. We HAVE to eat the wings. If TGI Fridays is too good for them, do they belong at McDonald's, the trash?

    The best cuts aren't the ones that are bursting with the most meat. Wings can literally be the best meat on the bird. A wing only has to spend like 4 minutes in a fryer. You'll struggle to get any other cut as crispy. I'm one of those people who think that the real star of the chicken is the skin and the flavors you put on it. Wings specialize in that.

    Can you honestly say that the parts you eat are worse than the other cuts? Or are you just being American and your problem is that it isn't making you maximally full with minimal effort?

    Shit take bud but also ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

      I agree that the best cuts of meat (on chicken anyways) are the moist fat parts with lots of skin. That way it's juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

      But the best cut for me by far is the tail, which you can only appreciate if you roast a whole chicken. It is the crown jewel of the chicken, and it's only downside is that it's small enough to eat in one bite. ✨

        Hell yes. I went to a yakitori spot in Austin a couple years ago where you could order skewers of just chicken butts and god damnit, it fuckin' ruled.
