28 wings for $30 canadian dollars seems reasonable

Wings have gotten so ungodly expensive if you order them for a restaurant. I went to order some from wingstop the other day and 20 boneless wings was like $24, insanity

>>18658117
yeah? like 20 chickens lived had to be concieved, incbated, hatched, grown, fed, flaughtered, butchered, transported, cooked and put in a togo box for you
seems like a deal if you think about it

>>18658239
if you had such respect for their lives maybe you'd bother to spell your words describing them correctly

>>18658239
You realize every part of a chicken gets used, right? Like that meme about indians using the whole buffalo except real. If one chicken's wings are sold to a wing place, its breasts and thighs might be sold in the grocery store, its back meat can become McNugget slime, its asshole can be cat food and so on.
Or the whole thing might be ground up and turned into "boneless" wings that OP would have paid $22 CAD for, his question still standing.

>>18658239
why don't they breed chickens with more than 2 wings?

>>18658300
because then they would be able to fly away

>>18658121
cooking the meat on the bone imparts more flavor
it's hard to market a thigh for the sports bar market, even if it'd be fucking delicious in the same sauces

>>18658117
$30 CAD is like $2 USD so that seems like a steal to me.

the US is just as expensive, wings are $1 a wing there as well. also chicken wings are a shitty foodstuff anyway, can still get cheap food in canada just have to go to foreign restauraunts.

>>18658336
good morning, sirs

>>18658315
I like bone on too, I just used boneless as the example because they're the cheaper ones which is depressing lol.

>>18658117
I'm surprised it's that cheap bar wings are like $17 for 10 where I live. Looks like you've got food for at least two meals if you're not a fat ass, three even. $10 for serving of protein plus some potatoes and a small salad and you're looking at like an $11 meal.

wings are goofy ah expensive

>>18658315
>cooking the meat on the bone imparts more flavor
It's not just cooking the meat on the bone. "Boneless wings" aren't wings at all, they're just chicken nuggets, which are made from breast meat, which is always going to be far less flavorful than wing meat.

>>18658473
pretty much, but i go to a wing joint that makes "boneless" wings and real ones the same price
i think it's because it's kind of a family joint/sports bar hybrid, so they can milk parents who bring their kids along for overpriced nugs

>>18658315
the bone in are nearly twice as expensive

>>18658117
you can save a bunch if you don't pay extra for the safety seal, ya goof

In Canada you are required to release the chicken after harvesting one wing.

>>18658117
reasonable
try making it yourself for $30cad

>>18658117
Wings are shit, anyway. Tendies and breasts have more meat per dollar/kilo.

>>18658117
where from O'Pee? those look tasy af †bh

>>18658121
Where the fuck do you live? I just checked their website and it's $16.99 for 20. So basically $18 and change after tax.

Or are you one of those retards using uber eats to get their shit delivered?

>>18658117
That would be the same in France for about 30 wings. From KFC

>>18658239
there are 30 wings in the pic. it takes 7.5 chickens to produce that many wings. learn to count you fucking retard

>>18658249
you need to be 18 or older to post here

>>18659929
???????
how many wings does 1 chicken have?

>>18659929
Where do you live that chickens have 4 wings?

>>18658239

retards

>>18658117
like 15 entire chickens had to die to make that box.

>>18658117
Okay....
Is that good? I have no frame of reference.

>>18658119
This nigga counted the wings lmfao

>>18658117
Buy them yourself, guy. Costs about 15$ (CAD) for 1.5 kilo of wings (about 50 pieces) and you can use any fucking seasoning/sauce you want. Fucking easy to make too. 40min 350-400 degrees, flip them after 20. If you want the fried texture without the actual deep frying mess, do this: mix flour + seasoning, pat your wings dry, dredge the wings in the flour mix, place on a wire rack, then brush olive oil on both sides of the wing to humidify the wing (it shouldn't be sopping wet.) The oil will fry the flour while it cooks. I've tried the baking powder trick, but it changes the taste, there's a bitter taste.

>>18660378
>40min 350-400 degrees, flip them after 20.
And that's for about 12 wings.

>>18660378
>15$ (CAD) for 1.5 kilo of wings
wrong

>>18658117
Why are you complaining, your phone was also overpriced but you seem okay with that

>>18660381
Well, guy, I dunno what to tell you. That's what I pay for me localy-sourced wings, I guess it's more expensive in walmart in bumfuck saskatchewan

That's from IGA in Quebec. That's 14$/kilo in grocery store, I buy straight from the farm.

A junior chicken meal from mcdonalds is now $8 cad.

>>18660552
>junior chicken meal
Is that what they call a kid's meal in Canada?

>>18661015
McChicken is sold as "Junior Chicken" in Canada and "Mayo Chicken" in the UK.
There are some slight differences between the 3, I think.

>>18658119
You fool! There are 30 wings in there, look closely... It is indeed reasonable, but more so than you anticipated!

>>18658239
Also,

>>18659983
>have to include tipping the chicken now
americans are out of control

op here. i wish i place a reddit banana for scale next to the wings cuz they were tiny a fuck like almost smaller than a halloween sized snickers bar. this is the actual price without the ubereats promo i used.

>>18658117
That's a good price. Here 6-8 wings cost $18CAD.

>>18661079
The Canadian McChicken is larger than the US McChicken. That's why the McChicken in Canada is called Junior Chicken, it's the smaller-sized chicken burger.

>>18660062
>>18661457
it was a guesstimate

>>18661470
Well played, sir. Well played.

>>18658249
wow you got him there!!!

>>18661457
this nigga actually counted the wings lmfao

>>18659090
Prices are lower in shittier places ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>18658249
Chickens can't read silly

>>18658315
Hear me out
>Sports bar called Legs
>Main draw is chicken thigh buffet
>Mascot is a sexy chicken in thigh-high stockings

>>18658117
imagine ordering chicken lmao
ordering should be exclusively for stuff you cant easily make at home such as pizza or sushi, with those 30$ you couldve bought more wings and prepared them better than this shit

>>18662482
chicken little hot-wing

>>18658117
...damn i recently got pissed that the frozen bag of wings at my aldi increased in price yet again (was 2,99€, then 3,99 and now at 5) maybe its not as bad as i think it is.
