KILZ FILLZ Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Anyone else notice wings in their area in a decline last few years? Small wings, weak sauce, high price? I’ve seen a place charge for side of blue cheese even! I am just spoiled because living during the boom of air fryers in the house? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 There’s a wing shortage. And prices are ridiculous. Air frying wings is super legit tho. But you can’t get a dozen wings for less than $15 these days. Which is just stupid. I’m on burger gang now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Damnit man. I literally thought the only reason for the increase in wing prices was an increase in demand. Long gone are the days of 25 cent happy hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Up in price everywhere. I've heard it said that part of the problem is not having the people on the line to process those parts and then they're less available to the supermarkets and such, this according to the butcher department in the supermarket. Meh to me, bird's got other parts, like fingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to buffalo wild wings back in January and was disgusted at how much money I spent on chicken in one sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Boneless or I’m good, mostly. But to answer direct I have definitely noticed a serious decline in the wing lifestyle. These wings ain’t really wingin these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I did not look enough to find the whole episode but Julia has one where she explains all about the different kinds of chicken you can get and how to use them. Now the idea of getting different kinds of chicken at the grocery store is bordering on nonsensical, the organic to conventional difference has been blurred to the point of being a technical distinction rather than a substantial difference. About a decade ago I noticed that the available cuts of chicken were decreasing as well, no more cut up chicken, no quartered roasters, no wings, lots of boneless skinless breast which I have no interest in or whole chicken. For a while you could go to the butcher and just have them cut up the chicken for you but now that level of service and skill is harder to find, even in "fancy" stores. I went to a boutique butcher shop the other day and found a young person who did not really know anything about anything behind the counter but since I was paying top dollar I thought I would ask if they had any idea about the shortage of chicken parts and the trend toward such in recent years. They in turn looked at me like I was a hundred and twelve years old, and started speculating about Covid impacts on the processing facilities. The air fryer angle is an interesting one that I had not considered, perhaps our thirst for kitchen gadgetry will fuel a resurgence in cooking other cuts of meat and in turn we will begin to relearn our disappearing foodways through tictoc videos of swinging titties and habenero hot wings. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 @mortonwas that pendulum you went to? The last time I went there they looked at me like I was an asshole for asking if they carried goose liver when they had a large supply of beef liver. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
