Chicken wings are only food on medium difficulty. Whole crabs take more energy to open than you gain from meat.

Sometimes it's not all about how easy it is to eat something. Sometimes if something tastes good enough, I'm willing to put in the smallest amount of effort.

Sometimes I prefer food that takes work to eat because I know I'm not actually all that hungry, just bored.

Well the appeal basically boils down to they’re fucking delicious; particularly when compared to other chicken parts seasoned in the same way.

Your focus on the meat of it all is probably your downfall. Fat brings the flavor and chicken skin is packed with it. Wings, far and away have the best skin to meat ratio of all the chicken parts.

Whole chickens. Taste the rainbow.

• protein
• crispy crunchy
• flavourful (whether from being nicely cooked or from all the optional extra stuff)
• takes some time to eat, slowing me down (so I don't overeat as easily, and can sit down and actually watch the game recap without finishing 20% of the way through)

also, chicken wings come in sizes from "this looks like it was a baby" to "there is no way this chicken was healthy before slaughter"

I like a good midsize crispy wing with spices and just a dab of sauce.

eating slop bowls gets boring

• wings: too much work
• drumsticks: too easy
• thighs: perfection

The same with drum sticks!

Cooking is supposed to be the difficult part and once I sit down to eat I don't want to work for the food any more! Just let me eat it.

After some practice, you only need two bites and maybe a little nibble for each one. Then they're great.

Finally, a kindred soul. Everyone I knew in high school and college was obsessed with getting wings all the time. I don't get it
