We have to account for “wingflation”.  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.

Maybe it’s odd, but I don’t love the “jumbo” wings.

 

Agreed. The ones I get are a little bigger than the ideal size, but they're a great price and they still turn out good.

EDIT: How many wings can you people eat?

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.

That's about 21 wings/minute, less than 3 seconds per wing. 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.

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.

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 with a thin, crackly crust that’s glazed with a delicious soy garlic or red spicy sauce!

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.

WingStop has a Korean BBQ flavor. Not bad...

@muppy... If they ever get one of these in SoCal... Highly recommend.  Right now, just in Chicago/St.Louis areas.

I hope it wasn’t just two of you, but if it was you are a modern medical miracle!   😂 

 

Those were crazy, but great times. Seriously great times, even if we didn’t fully understand that at the time.

The Atomic XXX hot wings were more of a medium to me and to everyone else in the competition.
