happened to see this on reddit today and thought it was appropriate. Also, I think we should all email Costco - they do have organic drumsticks in those 6-packs but the thighs are boneless/skinless. They need organic bone in/skin on thighs in those 6-packs. Let's get it! Non-organic bone-in skin on thighs are not good enough.

Damn, I guess I will have some of my mega pack of Foster Farm's Chipotles BBQ wings after all tonight. Was thinking of leftover pot roast, but, no, you had to show me those!

I’m grilling pork steaks tonight and I have to say that the supply of pig wings is at an all time low.

I am gonna miss all this meat food... in 20 years time.
20 years? Didn't you hear the news from The Daily Mail.

Time-travelling Vincent Foster, Ben Ghazi, Joe Biden, and Jade-Helm Walmarts run under joint command of FEMA and Antifa are going to be limiting you to 1/4 pound of ground beef while forcing you to get gay married in Chevy Volts within 2 years. It's why secret-President Trump is currently working hard every day to purge the deep state forces trying to take away your freedoms. And if you don't give secret-President Trump another cash contribution, we're going to tell him that you want to force Jared Kushner's cousins to get gay married in a Chevy Volt while being force-fed Impossible Burgers.

Nice!, what kind of sauce was that if I might ask?
Nothing special, just Franks original mixed with some butter.

I've tried Franks buffalo and their hot buffalo as well. The stuff labeled "hot buffalo" is too hot for my likings. I just prefer the original out of the ones I've tried.

You guys dont want to hear this, but lets return to this thread in 20 years.
Talking about eating meat of an animal that was bred in captivity for the sole purpose of being food for a human being will be as culturally unacceptable as homophobia is today... there will still be a few bigots around but the vast majority of us will understand why its bad.

*DONT KILL THE MESSENGER*

See you in 20.

Depends how tasty the messenger is.

IT'S OFFICIAL, THE CHICKEN WARS HAVE BEGUN.

Just saw the report on Cable News. We wing lovers are fuuuucked, at least for the next few months.

Actually, wings have been skyrocketing in price for years. They used to be hard to get rid of in the food supply system and were dirt cheap. Then wings became a thing.

Original and butter all the way.

For a dry rub my new favorite for any type of chicken including wings is Traeger Chicken Rub with Citrus and Black Pepper.

My local Northeastern Costco had no pig wings. I will call one of the many other Costcos in the area and track them down.

Chicken wings are to America what turkey tails are to Samoa.
Jeezus I love Turkey tails, or aka Turkey butts. So fatty, and so juicy. First thing I go after on a Thanksgiving bird is the booty of that bird (chicken too when I roast one up).:D
