Why are chicken wings so popular?
I'm not normally a chicken wing eater, but I hear about others liking them. Thought I'd get some at the store the other day, but they were $3.99 a pound while drumsticks were only $1.99 a pound.
For you chicken wing enthusiasts - why would chicken wings be worth the $2 more a pound? What are you doing with them? Talk me out of the drumsticks I bought instead.

They were a garbage cut of meat that were tossed to the freed slaves of the south, and as black folk do, they turned it into a delicious snack with spices and seasonings. As culture desegregated, it became a trendy dish and that drove the prices up on what was once a trash cut.
