How do you eat your fried chicken wings? Specifically, what do you do to avoid greasy fingers?

I order “boneless wings” (really chunks of breast meat) and eat them with a knife and fork.

I’m weird.

I don’t avoid greasy fingers.

Boneless wings usually have added ingredients that I can’t eat, so that’s not an option for me. If I want fried wings, I have to eat the real fried wings. And I enjoy the hell out of them.

What’s the problem with greasy fingers?

If you can’t stand greasy fingers, why the hell are you doing eating wings? Often the measures taken to be neat about it look even goofier than a ring of wing sauce around your mouth anyways, and nobody cares because *EVERYBODY knows that ribs and wings are just messy.

Personally, I can’t eat meat off the bones anyways; that grease kicks in my gag reflex and stops me from swallowing. But I do eat some other messy foods, and there is handwashing or a wet-nap involved afterwards.

Ugh, I despise having greasy fingers and hands, so I never eat chicken wings (in fact, I don’t even much like the taste). Call me weird, but I use a knife and fork for many foods others normally eat with their hands, including pizza, hamburger (or at least I cut it in half), sometimes even BBQ ribs! I’ve gotten a lot of, er, ribbing over the years about the “prissy” way I eat but thank goodness I’ve reached the age when such “criticism” doesn’t bother me in the least.

I do the knife and fork with boneless thing too. Allows me to dip them in hot sauce.

Fried chicken is delicious and I am prepared to put up with greasy fingers. Afterwards I wipe my fingers on a square of kitchen roll before washing them.

I hold my hands behind my back and stick my face in the plate like a hungry dog.

In reality I avoid ordering messy food, but when necessary I simply get messy hands

Well put, @jaykat!

Depends where I am. If I’m at a restaurant, there’s no way I’m ordering something like wings. I know how messy I’ll get.

If I’m at the home of people who love me and don’t care if I’ve got sauce all over my face, I’ll go for it and clean up afterwards.

Similarly, if I’m at my home, I don’t care how messy I get. I’ll wash my hands and face afterwards.

Not that I often each such food.

To much work for so little meat. Like Trump.

I don’t eat fried shite at all, greased up crap.

I just eat ‘em and wipe my fingers off on a napkin.

Getting your fingers greasy is part of the chicken wing eating experience. There’s no avoiding it.

I, also, cut my burgers in half; however, eating pizza with a fork is sacrilige.

I sometimes eat pizza with a fork, especially if it will be extra cheesey

I get messy then use a wet wipe after I lick my fingers.

Salt and pepper or plain if I don’t have napkins.

rubber or surgical gloves! that’s creative. I usually surrender to the greasy finger imperative. Lots of napkins and wet wipes if I can get them and never in clothes that I care about. I find the boneless wings a serious disappointment.

I eat home made beef ribs with oven mittens.

My biggest issue with eating greasy foods is the fact that my nose always ends up so very itchy. Just the tip of my nose. Every time.

Does anyone else have that problem?

how strange. It’s a skill or talent. Now to monetize it!

I use chopsticks

Plastic (not latex) gloves, such as are worn commonly in food service, are very inexpensive to purchase.

I just use one hand so there’s always a clean hand available if needed.

To me, so-called “boneless wings” aren’t wings at all. There’s just nothing like the flavor of the greasy real thing.

As they say on Food Network, Fat=Flavor :)

Chicken wings I go ahead and get my fingers greasy.

I don’t eat food with my fingers. Knife and fork every time. I’m like the Queen you know…

I have my manservant, Wordsworth, hold them up to my mouth for me.

Does Wordsworth wear gloves during these feedings?

Ha! As if I’m going to pay for gloves for that peon.
