There’s a Better Way to Eat Buffalo Wings?
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, February 4th, 2011
That’s right; there is a better, more efficient way to eat wings (the flat wings, not the drumsticks). You just have to know the technique that will leave you with a boneless wing, with no meat wasted. No more trying to suck or pull out the meat between the bones that are hard to reach. This Sunday as you are watching the Super Bowl and chomping on some wings (see below for some places you can order from), be sure to try this method! I, personally, have been eating them wrong my whole life! I will be sure to try this the next time I eat wings.
Chef John of Food Wishes blog shows you how to strip the bones off the meat, rather than the meat off the bones, that will leave you with a boneless buffalo chicken wing-ready to be dunked (in sauce) and devoured.

Calling all closet competitive eaters: 106.7 The Fan and Hard Times Cafe are seeking “The King of the Wing“–a saucy moniker to be conferred on he/she who can mow through the most chicken wings in 10 minutes.
“The response has been great,” a 106.7 spokesperson said of the cheeky, wing stripping-displays hosted to date.
The contest calls for putting through to the “Wing Bowl 2010″ the top four finishers from each “wing off”–tentatively capped at 28 competitors–while shaking things up by selecting a pair of wild cards from the pool of online-only applicants.
There have been five qualifying rounds so far, with Ryan “Iron Ryan” Smith leading the pack by disposing of an impressive 68 wings during the Germantown chowfest.
The next preliminary round takes place tonight (6-8 p.m.) at the College Park shop, and the final qualifier is set for next Tuesday (Feb 2; 6-8 p.m.) at their Fairfax location. If you do decide to give the title a go, make sure to bring a hearty appetite and show up early, because only the first 20 registrants are allowed to compete.
Meanwhile, the finals will take place from 6-10 p.m. on Feb 5 at the Springfield store. Whoever claims the Wing King crown will also receive $2,500, while second place gets a refurbished Golden Tee machine (why?) and third gets to dry their tears with $500.
Gentlemen, start your heartburn!
