Do you clean the little hairs off of chicken wings?

Anonymous
I know it takes forever, but I do it. It really grosses me out seeing the hairs (bits of feather?) on cooked chicken wings. Do most people cut them off or leave them on?

We don't eat chicken wings. Chicken breasts only here.

Cook at 450, they burn off, no problem.

They do for me. Maybe your oven temp is off?

I do roast chicken once a week. Butterfly it and take out the breastbone; rain kosher salt over the skin; place in roasting pan directly over halved baby potatoes; 450 degrees for 50-60 mins depending on size. Delicious; 10 mins prep time, if that -- and the wingtips crisp up so beautifully I usually eat both the second the bird comes out of the oven.

And I also remove the skin, before cooking. Cooking chicken with skin on it is a big no-no in my kitchen.

My mother taught me all about cooking chicken at an early age. "Thank the Lord"
Cleaning, cutting, cooking. I've passed it on to my children as well as grands. Removing hair/ feathers from chickens was a basic rule as a cook.
If I didn't have a gas stove I would use, and still do a
"CANDLE"!!!
I raise chickens so I know all about their Feathers and Hairs....
I do not eat chicken in restaurants unless, I have a cigarette lighter... Food for thought.... ENJOY... I'm in my 70's

I don’t really care about this as long as it’s not noticeable when I’m eating them.

I think it would be weird to be okay with eating the skin but not the little hairs.
