The meat to bone ratio per wing is dreadful, and they also leave your hands a greasy sticky mess
I know this is going to get me ripped apart, but I enjoy boneless wings. Basically pre-sauced chicken nuggets. 😋
I go with boneless “wings” whenever I’m not in the mood to wrangle with bones/sinew and the inevitable mess that entails, but still want to eat tasty saucy chicken.

Would you believe libs got mad at this guy because he was a white man tying up crucial govt resources for a joke while there were serious issues to address? It’s true.
[Inevitable vegan post]
with legs and wings, it harder to ignore the body count for me. Like 6 wings means 3 chickens died. Like, obviously, breast are a one-to-one, but its less obvious somehow. Its like steak or hamburger; it could be 1/100th of a cow.
edit: i’m barely even vegetarian these days. I need to rebuild some habits
A couple of months ago, I got one of those rotisserie chickens half off near closing time at a supermarket. This lead to me spending the evening re-enacting Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son in front of my computer. I felt like one of those chimps you see in nature documentaries eating a baby gibbon
I had some fired burned steak yesterday. shits good. primal and bloody. but one of those things that even normal people wouldn’t do if they knew what the whole process looked like start to finish. pretty sure /r/happycows is a psyop by the meat industry
I want to be vegan. I also don’t know why, but I don’t feel bad about the whole eating sentient beings thing. Watched the documentaries, all that. I’ve taken breaks from meat multiple times. One day I think I’ll join the crew. Maybe if I dated a vegan that would help.
For me it’s the lifetime of suffering in trade for maybe 10 minutes of enjoyment eating chicken legs.
I could say the same thing about every fruit and vegetable. Migrants are forced to live a life of suffering just so I can eat some broccoli. Or the soy industry actively destroying the rainforest.
I could also flip that and say a worker suffers in trade labor, at least give them 10 minutes of enjoyment with that wing. Like someone posted they were depressed and hadn’t eaten in a week so they bought some chicken tacos. My worry comes for the human before the animal. And if that chicken kept them alive another day I’m glad they ate. When I went vegan I also found myself just not eating and relying on other unhealthy outlets.
Veganism falls into the category of personal responsibility that I don’t latch onto. If we want to change our system and ban meat production I’m down, but shaming people into a personal responsibility argument never seems to work.
I dunno. There’s a bar near me that has some blackberry-jalapeno chicken wings. It’s honestly one of the best things in my entire life.
I need this, ok?
confit them
I was eating some cream of chicken soup and I stopped without finishing a single bowl because the chicken meat was so finely shredded it tasted like I was eating hair.
Meat in general is kinda overrated.
Sounds like you’d enjoy pork floss
