I see the chicken size post, and match you this pathetic excuse of 'food'. US penny for scale.

Based on the size and proportions of this, I'm guessing this is a drumette and not a drumstick. But, I'm also I'm not sure a photo of a single piece of chicken from a single order is really evidence of much of anything.

They have bone in wings now, and this is definitely one of them.

... Are you telling me you don't usually have bones in wings?

[–] numberfour002 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's not a "usually" thing, but yes there are bone-in and boneless (aka de-boned) chicken wings available in the USA. It's quite common for establishments, especially fast food or convenience restaurants, to offer both options but not all places offer both.

The higher quality boneless wings are typically made from drumettes like the piece in OPs picture above, but with the meat pulled off the bone. It's often cut into "nuggets", breaded, and deep fried. Sometimes other cuts of meat are used, though, like the breast.

The lower quality boneless wings are usually just barely more than ground up chicken parts mixed with binding agents, similar to mass produced chicken nuggets but usually not quite as uniform in shape and texture. Basically one step up from "pink slime" or chicken dough based nuggets.

Thank you for your comment.

That was definitely with bone. And so pitiful we wondered if the chickens were even fed.

It's not a wing.

[–] over_clox 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's not a wing, that's a drumstick. Can confirm, not only did I take the photo, I also ate it.

[–] EatYouWell 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, no. It's a wing that got mixed into your order, like getting a fry in your onion rings.

It's not an uncommon occurrence, especially at places where the employees aren't paid enough to give a fuck.

[–] over_clox 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Except the order was a 12 piece legs and thighs. Was no accident that they gave us 6 of these janky wannabe 'legs'.

[–] BleatingZombie 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm completely with you. I got KFC (just breasts and legs) and these were the legs I got. My only explanation is that the other comments in this thread are right and we got scammed because it's "close enough"

[–] over_clox 4 points 11 months ago

I'm gathering that as well, and we should all take this knowledge and spread the news.

[–] EatYouWell 3 points 11 months ago

It's also possible that it's a case of the employees not giving a fuck. Otherwise KFC would have to be buying pullets from the poultry farmers, which doesn't make much sense from a financial standpoint for either side.

Regardless, I highly doubt it's intentional.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The drummette is the chickens "upper arm." The wing part you're used to with the two thin bones is the chicken's forearm, the tip is like the hand.

[–] over_clox 1 points 11 months ago

Oh? Then it most definitely was not a drumette, it really was a tiny ass drumstick. It was not cut in such a way as to be a drumette.
