I can’t get a gallon of gas for $0.25 either. 🤷♂️ But for a while there it seemed like we had “super wingflation”. Like the Mortimer and Randolph had cornered the chicken wing market! Last year there was the largest outbreak of avian flu in U.S. history. 58 million chickens were killed to try to stop the spread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I get are a little bigger than the ideal size, but they're a great price and they still turn out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Atomic XXX Hot Wing eating contest at last year's Wingfest at the stadium. I ate 14 wings in 7 minutes. 7 minutes was because the winner finished his pan of 25 wings in those 7 minutes. And just for comparison's sake, the winner of the National wing eating contest ate 250 wings in 12 minutes. Joey Chestnut came in 2nd with like 235 wings in those same 12 minutes.

Using the strip method, you'd have to insert, strip, and swallow without chewing while reaching for the next wing. I'll bet his gastroenterologist has a really nice boat. And someday, his cardiologist will too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Casey's in Brockport had 50 wings for $5.00 on Monday nights, circa 1984. Also had $5.00 pitchers of Genny on Monday nights. We knew the cook and he told us when we ordered, tell the waiter we wanted "sliced celery." He knew that was us, and he'd pile on another 15-20 wings atop the 50.

muppy Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Costco 10 pound bag cost approx $ 24.00. They are large meaty and delicious in my air fryer. I dont buy in bars or restaurants what I can make easily and in my opinion better than theirs at home I'm cheap. No way am I paying those high retail prices . Korean fried chicken wings are a thing here in socal. Is that true for WNY? I have no idea. Korean Fried Chicken (koreanbapsang.com) the link won't embed. It is described as Quote Korean Fried Chicken Korean fried chicken with a thin, crackly crust that’s glazed with a delicious soy garlic or red spicy sauce! https://ricechickensd.com/ Edited April 25, 2023 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 if i'm not mistaken, i heard that wings are now back down to pre-pandemic prices. we won't see the changes on the menu, but wings themselves shouldn't be nearly as pricey as they are. in terms of volume, i'm a 10-12 wing guy. i just don't need anymore. as i get older, i've learned my limits.

Seriously great times, even if we didn’t fully understand that at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
