How do you like Chicken Wings?

[adorshki]

There are techniques for eating them, Tom, that keep the mess down.

On sale now, $3.16. At that price one can afford to buy a few extras for guests. And they squash down real good so you can keep one in your pocket for restaurant duty.

Actually the best tasting meat on the bird.

Perhaps, but also the least healthy.

No salt on my wings.

Check the sauce my friend, unless it's home-made, but it's always the sauce, especially if it's a marinade. Also, soy sauce is frequently a base for marinades/glazes, and it's the thermobaric weapon of sodium bombs.

Here's a for instance comparison: 1 egg averages 60mg/sodium. 1 teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce is about 200mg (or about 600mg/tablespoon), the regular stuff about 300, or 900mg/tbsp.. (Kikkoman brand, but they're all right in there, why I had to give it up for sushi, period.)

BTW, @davismanLV , check your ranch dressing, you might be surprised. The thing with sodium is stuff may not actually taste "salty" but it punches up the flavors of other spices, kind of like the undercoat on a car paint, yellow under red makes the red pop more than black would, for example.

I use Tabaco Sauce for my wings, 35 mg sodium per 1 teaspoon.

No point in asking you about crab legs then, right?

Correct. Actually the fist time I said that was for Lobster. My wife goes crazy for it, but it does nothing for me AND it's too much work for too little food.

Perhaps, but also the least healthy.

Yes, because wings lovers usually eat the skin, which is pure poison, nothing but cholesterol and fat.
And the reason why I steer clear of them too, as I consider peeling these too much work for too small a reward.
But I agree that the taste of the wing meat is excellent, as is any meat close to a bone.

I was an adult before I decided I very much liked lobster. I confess to being somewhat of a snob because I have been disappointed by so many lobsters consumed elsewhere that I'd rather have it on the Maine or New England coast or not at all. But to your point about the effort, when I was able to vacation in Maine I had boiled lobster daily and was taught picking techniques by a local relative. I found I could get the claws and tail out of the shell in under a minute while simultaneously pontificating on a subject of no interest to the other diners. I also realized that the precious bits of meat in the legs and elsewhere was worth the effort on the first couple of days but towards the end of the vacation someone with greater motivation could get more meat off the carcass when I decided I was done.

The work/food ratio is effected by the size of the lobster. If you like what you are eating you just shell out (Ha Ha) for a three pounder or larger. Leave the pound and a quarter lobsters for others.

I love lobster but I can't stand how they kill them in a restaurant.

But my favorite seafood is crab -, Dungeness, Blue, King...

Check the sauce my friend, unless it's home-made

Straight Aged Cayenne red pepper sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, unsalted butter and honey. Minimal calories and carbs overall from the honey.
Not too bad. They are just too damn good not to have once in a while!

I don't care for lobster, but if it gets people to listen to me, maybe I should reconsider...

Drums and I like them with blue cheese dip as Buffalo intended.

So you like them on your chickens as opposed to on a plate.

I must admit, those look amazingly delicious. We end up eating them often enough because my wife craves them. I also like traditional Buffalo wings with celery and blue cheese, but I also like Thai stuffed wings with that sweet salty crispy coating . . . mmmmm!

Excellent!!
I'll have to try that out for some variety on my favorite cut, bone-in thighs. Might search for something a little milder than the cayenne sauce, though. And use fresh garlic ( I always have that and the other ingredients on hand)

I found I could get the claws and tail out of the shell in under a minute while simultaneously pontificating on a subject of no interest to the other diners.

So pontificating helped you get the elapsed time down? Is that when you finally figured out the secret to singing while playing bass?

I like wings, but they have to be small, not the big honking wings you see sometimes.

 

[beecee]

Raw chicken wings cost more than sirloin steak or lamb chops in Upstate NY right now. There have been articles in the local rags about restaurants pricing them as "market "

Those are goose wings.

 

[DrumBob]

It's one of the few parts of the bird that I don't eat

Me either. Actually, all I eat is white meat chicken breasts. And I never pick them up. Knife and fork only.
