That's why I stopped ordering wings from outside food joints and just make my own, at least I know I'm getting them in whole for my money worth.
One Chinese spot out here in NYC years ago used to give you six whole wings when you'd order it with rice or fries etc and if you split em that's twelve pieces (6 flats, 6 drums).
Now tho when ordering they're not selling them in whole pieces & let alone telling you how many so a couple of months ago I ordered some chicken wings and shrimp fried rice


, got home thinking I was about to grub and instead it was five little ass wingettes pieces (two of the pieces were hard at that)
