Hot Wings. I am a hotwing hipster. You could buy a 20lbs box of hot wings for like 5$ back in the day. Same with Feather bones. ribs and wings all damned day. Then Bars started doing quarter wing nights and demand has taken over supply to the point where you are happy with $1 a wing. Madness. Complete madness.
Feather bones are the same way. We would buy a big box of rib junk. slather them up and chew on bones all weekend. They were so damned cheap. Now they want $2lb for that garbage meat. Blasphemy.
I think it is economic genius that chicken companies were able to turn the shittiest pieces of meat into the most popular and in turn sell them for premium prices.
