Chicken wings

Ok... apparently me and Corbin aren't the only ones who didn't know this.

Chicken wings are not the tiny legs and tiny wings of tiny chickens. They are different parts of the wings of regular sized chickens. The little drumstick is the part that attaches to the chicken, and the other one is the second segment of the wing. Together the two make up one wing of a regular chicken. There's also a wing tip piece, but they usually grind that up in to dog food and stuff.

[this is good]

It's good that you offer this information -- kind of like a public service! I am always surprised that people think the drumette is a tiny leg...I mean, that shit is really tiny! Oh, but also really tasty, of course. Anyway, maybe you'll start a movement. A knowing-the-parts-of-your-chicken movement.

mmm, wingtip surprise!

Hmm, I didn’t know this either, and now I’ll never look at hot “wings” the same way again.

lmao...i thought you were gonna say they came from tuna or buffaloes or something. :-P

I just assumed they came off of cornish hens or something. Although I always wondered why they were called wings when there were drumsticks in the mix. Now I know. The magic is over.

Ummmmmm .... I'll never look at chicken wings the same again...

Perhaps the next debunked fowl mystery will show us where those chicken nuggets are found! ;-D

OOh, good idea. I'm still wondering on that one.

I had never realized that I, too, thought that they were tiny legs, untill my boyfriend started working in a chicken packing plant, and we started getting wings that were "seconds". Sometimes we get wings that are still the full wing, all three parts still attached together. That's when I realized not only what I'd always thought, but that I was so very wrong.

...and "Buffalo Wings" refers to Buffalo, NY, not the big hairy grazing quadruped.
