Chicken wings and sauce-free hands

Chicken wings are typically multi-napkin, lip-burning affairs — you have to plan for a messy dinner when you sit down for a bowl of wings at The Peanut. But Lifehacker links to a video from Food Wishes that shows the secret to deboning chicken wings and having a relatively mess-free dining experience.

To those who would say that this is blasphemy, I would say watch the video — you’re going to want to try this method. Chicken wings, like lobster, require a lot of effort in exchange for not a lot of meat. But what you get is sweet. And this method would appear to make sure that, by removing bones from the equation entirely, you don’t leave any meat behind.
