i need you to wipe your experience of my boneless over sauced wings from your memory……. they were cheaper and i took the path of least resistance. perhaps that says something about me. i dunno. but i can and will do better

What does it mean if I've eaten wings with knife and fork on numerous occasions? Mind you, still bone clean but 1000% less mess and usually with some rice. Also who da rass is eating a wing out a pocket? Now THAT's outta pocket. Fun read!

I can't BELIEVE I forgot to acknowledge fork&knifers!! Not gonna lie-- I've done the same😔 Especially with rice-- it's annoying having to pick up/put down the fork just to take a lil bite of chickennn. It might mean we're a little high-maintenance 😔😔 but I'll try not to read too much into it LOL.

Finally!!! Someone wants to have a real conversation!! I genuinely believe that if you’re afraid to eat a flat in front of people then you’re hesitant to explore life for all of its richness and complexity.

Also… is “not boneless, not boneless, not boneless” a reference to “not slytherin” from Harry Potter?👀

I LIKE THIS TAKE. And actually, I’ve NEVER read Harry Potter but that’s hilarious. We love an accidental reference.

I’m just imagining being approached by someone with a chicken wing in their pocket and immediately asking me to “eat it”. I think I wouldn’t even say anything, I’d just feel obligated because when else will a chicken wing ever be that monumental?

Yooooo what?!?!? I was dying laughing reading this! Thanks for sharing. What does it say about me that I leave no meat and suck on the bone, yet I have so many unfinished projects in my head 😭

Sauce does NOT belong on wings. Sticky mess aside, why would I want my wings to taste like anything other than chicken?! Disrespectful tbh
