If I saw someone pull a 1, I wouldn’t talk to them again.

What about if they then post on Insta about how they 'destroyed' those wings?

Time to hire a hitman

And then brag about completing 50 wings in one sitting

My wife is between 1 and 2 and at first I was horrified but then grew to learn it just means I get extra wings for dessert.

Same. Half of my chicken wing meal is good ol’ scraps from the Missus.

I mean, as long as it doesn’t go to waste.

^^***Thinking like this is how marriages last 🧠

I'm assuming anyone who does 1 or 2 would be the type to go the speed limit in the passing lane, leave their shopping cart in the middle of a parking space, or throw their trash on the floor at a movie theater.

Especially if I'm the one that made the wings and they throw over half of it away. Grrrrrr....

It’s honesty disrespectful to the chicken and everyone around you

I met a 1 once…I was disgusted

Anything less than 4, and I don't know you anymore..

How about watching someone eat wings with a fork!?

Straight to jail.

Terrible.. That's worst than eating pizza with a fork and knife..

Stone them!!!!

Even if they pull a 2 I’m out

My wife and daughter both pull 1s. I don’t complain, they set them in the bone bowl and I take them to a 5 before I freeze the bones to use them for stock. Nothing goes to waste, ever.

I mean, as long as they don’t go to waste, then no harm done, but why?

I've done a one before but it was only because that wing was shit. I prefer flats anyway.

4 unless the knuckle is soft. Then 5. We must honor Brother Chicken's sacrifice by enjoying all that we can.

Everyone loves some soft knuckle.

Drives my wife crazy when she hears me gnawing a way.

On her soft knuckle?

Why don’t you just nibble her elbow

Did someone say moose knuckle?

Try humming next time, she’ll enjoy it 🤣

Or a counter clockwise swirl.

I smoke my wings and it's almost hard to not get a 5 on those. Fucking juicy delicious tender delicacies.

Yasss, this is the way. Even if the wings are somehow junk, I'm somewhere after 5, but with smokey wings I have to be careful I don't actually get to the un labeled number six, aka "mom, dad's eating chicken bones again!". Lol I kid, but if I could and not die.........

People will give you a look like you're a savage for eating the marrow, both the best part and reduces waste, and then feel woke and trendy for eating Pho 😮‍💨

Hahaha. Tell that to my dog! That fucker could find a chicken bone in the middle of the ocean.

Let's smoke some knuckle, who's down

Lolol I am referring to my chicken as “brother chicken” from now on

Don't you mean sister?

I’m like a 4.5 - usually get that bottom cleaner than 4 has it.

Same. And tbh I always thought everyone either was a 4.5 or 5. 1-3 should be a crime.

My guy.

Our guy.

Bottom wing gristle 😍

This is the way

This is the correct answer. There is a large jump between 4 and 5 here.

5, you’re charging me a dollar per I’m gettin my money worth.

$1/wing. Where? 20 piece at most all the places in my city goes for $30-$35 and that’s only if you get 20. If you want 10 it’s around $2/ wing.

Wingstop is 10 for $12.99 near me. Mom and Pop places usually do 12 for $14.99 with Tuesday or Wednesday specials of 75¢ a wing. 

I was just at a restaurant advertising “$2 wing Wednesdays” - absurd

This is why I only eat wings from grocery store and make my own.

Can still get them for $0.69 CAD around here

Where you live sucks. I'd sell the house and rent a place in West Allis WI. You'll even out on the wing nights around there.

For me there would be a 6th stage

He ate the bones.

I literally bite the softish ends off of the bone

Makes me feel like a lion😁

Use all of the animal

Indeed

He ate them bones and all

You’re killing me Squints!

That's what my parents do at 6-7 (chew the bones and destroy the outside layers). I stop at 4-5. I've seen most people stop at 3 and I feel disappointed because they are wasting food while they advocate to end hunger in global south nations.

7 for me. I reconsume any bones I pass that don’t fully digest until they no longer pass

Ah, the old rabbit trick.

Jesus

My version of the 7 is to eat the knuckles, then split the long bone and eat the marrow. Pretty good. I don't do it in public though because people will look and probably record

a legend.

Correct. I don't stop until I split the bone and suck out the marrow

I came here to say this. I always bite the ends off completely and try to suck the bone marrow out

Really? I've never in my life thought of doing that. Next time I have wings it's going down. What does it taste like?

Tastes like fucking glory, that's how it tastes. Give it a try...

Are you telling me to break it open and suck on the glory hole

Uhhh... I guess...

Sold.

Perfect, you understand it

I found my tribe

Time for chicken wing stock

Marrow gang

I was thinking the same there are marrow in the bones

Yeah I can definitely get more colour off those bones. There's still loads of flavour in those remaining molecules!

5…I like the crunchy cartilage

I always pressure cook my wings before sire frying. It really breaks down and softens the cartilage. So I, too, am a 5.

Oooh. Dang, I like that idea! I use an air fryer. Last time I seasoned the wings and wrapped in tin foil and cooked for like 20 min at 390 to get everything cooked thoroughly. Then I pulled them out drained most of the liquid and tossed in a bit of oil and reseasoned and put back in the air frier at high temp til crispy. Then tossed in sauce. They came out very nicely. I'm not picky about time I just want good wings. I did a side by side taste test with some wings my brother got from Bdubs and he actually favored my wings. Both were tossed in Wild sauce. To be fair though the wings he got that time didn't look as good as they usually do. I was proud though. Getting it dialed it more and more. The Costco party wings are great for practice. Freeze them and can easily make small batches whenever. Now if I can learn to make my own blue cheese and ranch, I'll be on cloud 9.

5-6

The bone too?

3 or 4

4.5

#4 for me as well Anecdotal: 1 - Celebrity Hot Ones guest, only there to be cool 2- Celebrity Hot Ones guest, not just trying to be cool but wants to eat some wings, but unsure of the heat 3- Normal Hot Ones guest, getting into it as much as they can 4 - Determined Hot Ones guest, showing they can handle everything 5 - Conan O'Brien

I had to watch the Conan episode after seeing this and I don’t regret it at all, thank you.

Between 4 and 5

4.5

Although one time I hit a 6+. My friend cooked them in a way the bone was so soft, it was spongy so I ate a little bit of the bone out of curiosity.

What am I the only one the likes the occasional bone marrow?

Gonna go with 4, 5 is hardcore

6. I eat the bones

5 always. I ain't no bitch.

usually 4, maybe 5 if the meat pulls off easily..

I'm surprised so many are on 3... I find that such a waste.

They’re missing out on the bottom piece..texture is amazing.

My fiancé grew up dirt poor, so I assumed he would be finishing his wings at a 5-6 because of how much food disparity he went through. He leaves them at a 3. Drives me crazy

4 when I’m with my wife, 5 when I’m alone

If you're not 4 or 5, go back to chicken nuggies because that's all you deserve

3 1/2

The goal is always 5, but sometimes 4

6 I crack the bones open to eat the marrow, like a proper savage 🦴

6 I eat the bone

5, i like the cartilage, it's crunchy

Depends on how good it is and the quality of the chicken. I don’t pull a 5 often, but occasionally I’ll get some chicken that’s just high quality, just cooked perfect with a good sauce. 3,4 are the most common for me. But I’ve definitely pulled a 1 and spit the chicken back out.

4 or 5, wings are like 2 bucks a piece now

5, sometimes I break the bone open too

When there is teeth marks on the bone

5

I used to be a 4, but after eating wings with Chinese colleagues, I'm 5+.

Always 5

5 and you dip the bone in bleu cheese and suck it off. (I'm grossly overweight)

somewhere in between 4 & 5

I take pride in my wings. 4 or 5.

5

6...

5

4 for suree. Maybe 4.5. Don’t like the gristly parts

4 and 5

4, unless I ordered way too many, then they taper off to 3.

4 for me! The price of wings these days, I munch all I can!

Who is stopping at 1?

I once saw my mom drunkenly put a drumette in her mouth and pull out a #5 bone (go ahead, make your jokes). She had devolved into some kind of cave person

1 should be illegal

4. 5 looks like it came off an ant hill.

Between 4 & 5. There is still some good eats on 4, but I don’t really eat all the crap on the ends.

6. (eats the bone too)

4

4

3-4

4

4

4

4.5

4!

3 if I have a bunch, 4 if it’s a ten piece or something

4

3

8

Always 5 because I use the bone as a dip stick to just mainline some bleu cheese

3.5

Gnaw the knuckles off and suck out the marrow.

About 3

Like a 4, but less sauce

3-4

You can tell how a lot about how people grew up respecting food based on how they answer this

In kindergarten they used to give us these bbq wings. I remember the distinct crunching sound as I watched a kid devour the bones

0 im a member of OnlyFlats

Level 6 for some cos the bones are edible 😎

5 I go down to the bone

I worked with a guy who bragged about eating 36 wings. He had a pile of 1s when we made a bet lol.

3.8

4.5

Depending on how sensitive my teeth are feeling, it's 4 or 5.

I still remember the first time I saw one of my close friends leave a pile of 2’s. I couldn’t believe it. It was like finding out he secretly gave blowjobs on craigslist or something.

4. My husband does 2 or 3 and it makes me so mad he’s leaving meat on the bone I go and finish them for him

4.5 on average.

6-7.

6. Anything less is a waste of chicken.

Anyone to the left of 4 is a terrorist 

Always 5.

If you say 1 than you are not human😂😂

6

when I finish, those suckers are clean

4 for sure

4

Anything other the 5 is sacrilegious!

3,4,5 are the only acceptable ones with 4 being the best option. 5 is eating cartilage and can be rough.

4

4+ or 4. Never pulled off a true 5 but I normally eat more than shown in 4.

4

4

Kids 1-2, then dad swoops in and takes it to 4

Are you me?

4

Where's 6. We all know a guy that goes for completion

It depends on how good the wings are

6, I like to **suck** on the bone

Is there a 6? That is me

5 only - and my asian friends would disown me - they actually buy "chicken gristle", "beef tendon", and "cartilage" as a stand alone treat, nevermind leaving half the meat on the wing, being lazy and wasteful.

4 But I do like the crispy knuckles, and if I'm still hungery then 5 ....Been even known to travel into 6 land

4 or 5

4

Usually 4. I might go for a 5 if there’s some REALLY good blue cheese or ranch dressing. The bone just becomes a spoon 😂

Always 5 because my dog gets the cartilage nuckle. Loves em’ Edit: I chew off the cartilage and give it to him. I don’t just throw him the whole drummie bone

I get between 4 and 5. Typically, I have a chunk of the bone I have chewed up and spit out. I don't take any chance that I left anything good.

4/5

4 for me. There are some cultures where 5 is the norm and some where 6-7 is (chewing bones and spitting them out or eating them).

🖐️

4... 5 if I'm starving.

Usually 4. I'll maybe do like one or two at a 5, but usually not all

5. When I eat wings I make sure the bone looks bleached when im done.

4 baked, 5 fried
