I’m not normally a chicken wing eater, but I hear about others liking them. Thought I’d get some at the store the other day, but they were $3.99 a pound while drumsticks were only $1.99 a pound.

For you chicken wing enthusiasts - why would chicken wings be worth the $2 more a pound? What are you doing with them? Talk me out of the drumsticks I bought instead.

    Have you even seen chicken breast prices lately? I’d expect wings to be around the same price as the drumsticks.

      Legitimately asking because I never buy breasts, are they wicked expensive right now? Breasts are the worst part of the chicken for anything other than the total amount of meat IMHO because they don’t have as much flavor and dry out really easily when they’re only slightly overcooked. My order of preference is thighs>legs>wings>breasts.

          Honestly thighs, legs, and wings for me are on pretty even footing depending on what I’m doing for a meal. At places that do whole chickens and not wings specifically, I generally prefer the order I listed. But wings from places that specialize in wings are really great. Whole breasts are just undeniably over by themselves as my least favorite way to eat chicken (even though I don’t dislike them or anything, I just don’t prefer them).
