Father & son steal $40,000 worth of chicken wings from NY restaurant where they both worked

[Retrograde]

4. Good marketing?

When I was growing up in Buffalo chicken wings weren't a thing- just parts that came with a chicken. Or you could buy them separately, usually very cheaply.

There's actually some good meat on 2/3 of the wing (the tips aren't good for anything but the stock pot), but they're rarely prepared well - even in Buffalo. Most places throw them into the deep fryer, than slather them with sticky sweet/hot sauce. I use the Alton Brown two-step steaming/baking method that is more time-consuming but produces a lighter, more chicken-y product. (And don't get me started on nachos....)

But enough people seem to like the standard way of producing wings that a lot of them are sold to make it worth stealing or defrauding.
