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.
I would buy the drumsticks too at that price. If you’re not looking for the historical reasons, then it’s purely preference and recipe. Drumsticks are higher in meat and chicken wings are higher in skin and sauce surface area. I usually prefer drumsticks but wings win when the recipe makes the skin super crunchy or I want a higher ratio of sauce.
