The even higher prices of chicken wings

[mountainhawg]

Along with necks, I remember using them for crabbing. How about a new bar goodie: "Buffalo Chicken Feet" might take the buying pressure off the wings

A few weeks ago, our local Food Lion had a big sale on them, about 1/3 the normal price, too many in stock I believe, so I stocked up.

I feel it only right to issue a public apologize for my contribution to the wing shortage from my hard drinking days. 

Seriously, sucks that the prices have been driven so far up.  I put the hurt on some wings over the last couple of decades, and they're still a family favorite.

UH, should have posted my gripe here, I just hijacked a thread and vented about that.

Goes to show you though , once something gets popular, it goes up . . .$$$$$$

Just like Flank Steak and Brisket. . . normally a waste , but . . .

 ,yeah , I could go on , but I'l spare ya...

My wife just got 2 big packs for 1.99 per pound. We're doin em up this Memorial Day . My boys are comin over and it's been a while since we had wings. Gonna be a real treat.:grilling_smilie:

I found some relief. We have a new reasturant up the road called  wild wing cafe and they have all you can eat wings for 10.99 M-F.... I wear them out.....

I guess its me age talking but I have quit eating wings! I refuse to pay that much for them when I can get 10# of hind quarters for less than 5.00! I freeze the thighs for gumbos, jambalayas, chicken and dumplins, or even just to fry. I tear up those legs just like wing drumettes with real meat on them.

I used to get turkey thighs from a friendly butcher. Everyone wants legs! I'll take a thigh anytime, they are more tender and they don't have those hard tendons!...LOL I live in south Louisiana, seafood is inexpensive so I need to find out how to get it on the smoker, smoked crab, smoked oysters, smoked crawfish, smoked shrimps, etc etc etc. I wonder if ya could smoke gator.....Hmmmmm

BTW Take a minute today and remember those who sacrificed so we could enjoy a day off.

The answer would be yes!   A friend of mine is going to bring some up from Hilton Head the next time he comes this way.  He says its awesome!
