Can you buy one chicken wing?

I was unsure as to whether I should put this here in GQ or in MPSIMS, as this is a rather trivial question. Since it is a question, however, I think it belongs here.

When I am in my car listening to the radio, I will frequently hear ads for various restaurants and bars; many of them featuring “specials” on chicken wings. “35 cent chicken wings ALL NITE!!”…Does this mean you can actually order one individual wing? I understand most people would never do that as there is barely any actual meat on a wing and one wing alone would amount to not even a mouthful, but technically speaking, could you?

Yes ma’am, I’ll have a Guinness and a chicken wing. Extra barbeque sauce, please.-is this an appropriate order?

I’d think most places that sell by the individually priced wing piece would accomodate you (perhaps with a raised eyebrow, and some sniggering in the kitchen) if that’s what you really wanted to order.

The deli in my local grocery store will sell you baked or fried - leg, breast, wing (and a prayer). One, ten, 50, whatever.

:smiley: Yes! Hilarious and totally on point!

No matter which way this thread happens to go, I think it will put a smile on my face. Hehe.

You must try this.
Then show up the next night and order four fried chickens and a coke. :smiley:

Can you buy one slice of wheat toast, dry?

Same thing at Ralph’s supermarket. Why not?

Dude, You have way too much time on your hands. The offers you hear are contingent upon some unspecified minimum order. Get a grip.

If it’s a tapas bar, it would be an unusual tapa to have on the bar since chicken wings are best freshly made but it would be a matter of having them ready-to-fry, so why not.

My mother will often buy one uncooked chicken wing as one of the ingredients for her stock. This is very common, the butcher will no more raise an eyebrow at someone asking for one chicken wing than at those who want a whole lamb.

You sound sexy. When the price of something is contingent upon a minimum order, usually that minimum order is included in the advertisement.

Would they just hand you one chicken wing?

Never heard of this. Thanks. It’s good to know.

I think the real question is will we still be able to land this chicken on its remaining wing?

How did the chicken with one wing get up there?

not yet.

She took off from a treadmill.

I want the small order of chicken wings. Hold all of them but one, bring me the check for the entire order and you haven’t broken any rules…

A smart chicken; you might get smarter by eating her.
