Actually, a DIET Coke 
This is exactly what came into my head when I saw the topic.
You want me to hold the chicken wings?
Almost 3 1/2 hours and no one? No one?
I guess it’s up to me.
I want you to hold them between your knees.
In places that sell them individually priced (as in you could order seven as easily as you could order six) I’m sure you could just order one. In fact, if such a place exists I’m sure it happens. I could see someone who is on a diet ordering a salad but getting a wing to satisfy a craving.
I set up a Freak Brothers quote in another poultry-related thread and it sat there overnight before anyone picked it up.
Kids today. They just don’t know the classics.
Somewhat related: You can buy just one nacho. Or at least you could at the taco stand I worked at in high school back in Texas. It was one big round nacho chip with a layer of cheese and other toppings. That confused many customers who asked how many nachos came with the order, even though it was clearly “Nacho,” singular, on the menu.
Chicken wings (preferably plural) will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no chicken wings.
At Buffalo Wild Wings, at least, there’s a minimum order (I think it’s 4). Your order doesn’t need to be a multiple of that (you can get 5 or 6 or 7), but it has to be at least 4. In fact, if you get multiple kinds of sauce, it’s a minimum of 4 for each sauce.
Do they advertise as "X"cents/wing? And do they include this 4-wing minimum in this advertisement? If not, it would seem like false advertising to me.
Have you heard of the “Chicken Wing Conspiracy”? Restaurants and pizza shops are GUILTY of ripping off the public. BIG time. All of them separate the wings at the joints and charge you as if each piece is A WHOLE WING! ( I am not counting the feathery part at the end) Anyone who buys prepared wings at a pizza joint or restaurant is paying TWICE as MUCH as advertised! $.70 cent wings? NO you’re going to pay $1.40 plus tax per wing. Someone should be investigating this scheme; but the government is in on it for the tax revenue. Chicken wing eaters must rise up and take back the savory buffalo style or the sweet and spicy teriyaki style or even choco-peanut butter. I propose starting an organization: WWWATCWC. WORLD WIDE WING EATERS AGAINST THE CHICKEN WING CONSPIRACY.
I managed a wing bar in the early '90s and yes we would sell you one single wing during “Happy Hour”. We had 15 cent wings and 50 cent beer. You ordered the number of wings that you wanted. I counted them out, fried them and put them in a basket. Glad I am not doing that any longer.
What if I order 1 wing and water?
Ahh, thank you. A real answer. Anybody ever order just one?
Yes. Back in the 1980s, before chicken wings went national. It was actually delivered on its own plate with celery and carrot sticks.
Bars in Buffalo during the time often had 5 and 10 cent wing nights. I saw many, mostly women, order just three or four wings.
Bullshit. Wings were separated into drums and flats even back in the 1970s, long before their fame spread beyond the border of the City of Good Neighbors.
? That doesn’t change the fact that they take one wing, break it apart and charge you for two.
IME, you have to have a minimum order (usually ten… they aren’t very big) and some places have a drink to order ratio that must be met (for every order of wings you have to buy one drink… yeah we didn’t go back to that one).
Darnit I want wings now. I wonder if it’s wing night tomorrow at any of the places I like…
Agree. My mother-in-law asks her (Kosher) butcher simply for “a bunch” of chicken feet every week. Getting him to cut the nails off requires a little wheedling.
I’ve got it! Buffalo chicken feet!
Or let Buffalo keep the upper appendages and call it the NY feet.
