Right? Love them. Some people like their steak lean and well done, there is no account for taste, which means really there is no accounting for people that have no taste buds.

Or people who care about their health and avoid excessively salty/fatty foods?

Most of the chicken wings sold are totally gross. But years ago I would go to a bar famous for them and they were so good. If they are done right they are really tasty. But then they got popular and every crappy pizza place and bar started selling them.

I don't get it either.

Some of us like flavor! And fat and skin is flavor.
Or you ate some wings that you made and you can't cook!

I grew up eating bone-in chicken. I prefer thighs. I guess that’s why chicken wings are so disappointing…there’s no there there.

I would not want to eat wings at every meal, but lord, life entirely without salty/fatty foods is not one I’d choose to live.

Bon appetit!

Gross. Skin. Disgusting. Skin, little meat, bones. Hard no.

That’s what my husband says about blue crabs but he’s not from maryland so I forgive him for his ignorance.

There are wide variations in the quality of wings, but in general you to appreciate salty, spicy, chicken skin.

Caveat — this was literally decades ago so for all I know, their wings could be gross now. Reviews for them still look pretty good though!

Archie Moore’s! OMG, memories. I did a lot of drinking there when I was home for summers during college. Great wings.

And ribs have the same problem.

Mmm on the sauce+bone+gristle+mess (and crisp skin). More for us

Crispy skin, tender flavorful meat, and excuse to eat with my hands & suck on the bones. What's not to love??!?
