WTF.....you guys who eat 40+ wings per sitting, please bookmark this page when you're in the doctor's office in 30 years saying, "what do you mean triple bypass surgery, doc??" ;)

The best hot wings I've had were baked, a little healthier. And actually dark meat isn't worse for you than white meat, just more fattening.

Depends if they were baked, deep-fried, or BBQ'ed.

If they were battered and deep-fried, helllllllllllllloooooooooo calories! Baked or BBQ'ed aren't so bad, but they still aren't great health-wise.

When you eat 100 wings in one sitting.... they tend to do that to your waist. :)

Hahaha, it was only around 20-30, though I did it at 1 in the morning, once or twice a week! It's hard to lose weight!

you don't mean 20-30 in one sitting do you? :Q

When my friends and I go to Quaker Steak and order the unlimited wings, we usually put down anywhere from 50-70 each

Wow, my record is in the 40's. Haven't been able to break 50. They start tasting like rubber after 30 something! Haha :)

For me they start tasting like fire after 40, but I guess that depends on which kinds you are eating
What is your favorite there? I like the Louisiana Lickers and Arizona Ranch.

Atomic was simply horrible, it didn't taste good at all, it was just hot.

If I were to only get one flavor, Arizona Ranch would be it. The Honey Mustard is a little too mild, but it tastes great. If you alternate them with Atomics, its a good combo. Garlic is pretty good, too.

To be honest its been a couple months since I went, so I dont remember too much more in all the different kinds

I still laugh at the fact that they can sell this trash. Wasn't long ago that the wings were discarded or ground into animal food. Now they actually get money for them! What's next, chicken feet! MMmmmm good!

Don't get the ones from Hooters, those things are great tasting but, for me anyway they give a really bad case of the Hershey Squirts. Bad BAD BAD!

Up until last year US exports of chicken feet to China was like a 400 million dollar industry. Thats a whole lotta feet..........

Actually, if skinless chicken is fried at the proper temperature, the moisture in the meat creates enough steam that the oil doesn't absorb into the chicken- it's driven out by the escaping moisture.
That's in the event of a skinless, non-breaded chicken chunk.

yea i was going to lay the beat down on his ignorance but u got there first:) i thought they were gross, but it actually tastes quite good. atleast resturant prepared. i would never try cooking em. its not a meal, just a tiny side dish, then again dim sum is basically all side dishes.


calamari? in other words squid. used to be used as fish bait.



being asian i've always liked squid/octopus etc:)
