Buffalo Wild Wings

[SRH78]

Has been discussed numerous times before on the forum. That sign means nothing to a CHL holder in Texas.

It means 2 things to this one. They don't value my business and they won't get it. No loss to me, though. There are better wing places nearby anyway.

Wings, gizzards, livers, necks, heck even chicken butts and mustard. It's all good.

In fact, I had a dinner of fried chicken livers last night. I never had chicken butts and mustard. I'll have to get them a try.

Gizzards are the best part of the chicken.

Gizzards - The other gristle!

That's why people chop them up into little pieces and try to hide them in the dressing.

I know that it's not a legally enforceable sign, but they've made their feelings on the 2nd amendment pretty clear so I choose to honor their decision by going elsewhere.

Besides, I like Pluckers better anyway.

I never noticed that sign at the BWW near me. I checked for the nearest Pluckers, but they don't have one in Houston. Their menu looks really good.

I haven't noticed that sign at either BWW I've visited in the last few months (on Wesleyan and Richmond near Costco or in Rice Village).

People actually eat chicken wings and it stumps me - why?

Mostly fat, precious little meat and what there is somewhat difficult to access. I don't get the popularly of this tidbit of 'almost no chicken' that, when I'm eating real chicken meat like legs, thighs, - I simply pitch into the trash.

Frankly, when I buy whole chickens to barbecue, I'd be grateful if the wings were clipped off before I take them home.

What next are people gonna be bamboozled into thinking is a great food item?

Chicken beaks/feathers...?

I'm astonished that 'the part that went over the fence last' isn't also some wildly popular food item or will be some day.

No doubt in the future, some wily restauranteur/chef will start marketing this part of the chicken as a gourmet treat and crowds will flock to his eatery demanding this gustatorial delight. (not me)

Personally, YMMV, but I can't understand why anyone would eat chicken/turkey breasts (white meat). It is gross, dry, tasteless psuedo meat. Tenders or boneless Buffalo wings (all from white/breast) meat are something I just can't eat.

When we get the 8 piece chicken dinner take out, the two breasts go straight into the trash (no kidding, I throw them away). For me it's legs, wings, neck, and gizzards; the rest are up for grabs. Thighs are iffy. Maybe that's why I like duck - it's all dark meat.

Can we combine the BWW posts and make it sticky? Seems like this gets posted every couple of months.

Now, just out spite, I'm gonna eat a whole chicken in one sitting. I'll, ah, cook it first though...

Jack Nicholson has made some great movies. "Going South" is probably my favorite. There is a scene (that I understand was filmed in real time) where his ordinance bride played by Mary Steenburgen sets a boiled chicken in front of him which he skelotonizes in about sixty seconds. A scene or two later he comes out on the front porch and says, "Whut's fer breakfast?" All of the chickens stampede away.

* I shot a chicken one time with a Remington .22 bolt action repeater. I walk past non-compliant 30.06 signs AND 30.60 signs, for that matter.

Well sure, if you cook it wrong... It's the same with most any meat. Once I even managed to dry out sausage.

Chicken "nuggets" are psuedo meat, turkey breasts [white meat] are not. As Dave2 stated you can ruin anything "if you cook it wrong."

Back to wings. The whole concept of "boneless" wings is funny to me.

I'd like to try boneless chicken "wings" that were cooked with the meat still on the bone. I'm not sure how that'd work... Bone-in tastes better, but I really hate having to chew around bones/gristle/cartilage, and having the whole thing coated in sauce makes them really messy eats (which sucks when you need to eat and work at the same time).

I have never tried them, but I think boneless wings are just strips of chicken breast cooked and then have the sauce added later.
