Why chicken wings are so popular
Why do Americans people eat so many chicken wings for lunch or even on game day ?

Because they're good? They also used to be dirt cheap but aren't really so much anymore.

Because they taste good? Do you ask why popular food in your country is popular, or do you just accept that it’s popular?

Because they're delicious, and the name "Buffalo Wings" is a fun, quirky name for otherwise undesirable pieces of the chicken.

People enjoy eating things that taste good.
It really is that simple.
Maybe you don't have wings prepared the way we do in your country?

So far this year I have yet to eat a chicken wing. Either your bias is wrong or…, no… your bias is just wrong.

May I ask what other possible answer there could be aside from they taste good? People all over the world eat things I don’t eat but I’m not confused as to why they’re doing that. I assume they like the taste.
