My 'beef' is that a chicken wing segment is referred to as a 'wing' as in "4 'wings' per order" when you are really only getting 4 wing segments, not 4 whole wings...

It's funny that you mentioned this gripe. You're going to like the place I'll tell you about. There's a restaurant in Palatine, IL called "Gators Wing Shack" that serves whole wings: drum, flat, and tip, as a single piece. Prices aren't too bad: about $12 per order of 10 wings (their definition). The wings are big; one order is enough for 2 or 3 people. Celery, sauces, and fixings are extra, though.
The wing tips are pretty nice to nibble on, if prepared correctly. I don't know why people avoid the tip part.

That's $1.20 per wing plus celery and fixings. Sounds expensive to me. 12 wings enough for 2 or 3 people?
Those wings must come from giant chicken, or you people are not very hungry eaters. My son and I each eat at least a dozen just as appetizers.

My appetite got smaller over the last 2 years. It's a blessing, I'd say. Also, those wings are big: not necessarily turkey-sized, but bigger than most chicken wings I've come to expect. Then again, I ate there for a late-night snack (it's open until 4:00 AM), rather than for dinner, so maybe I just didn't need to eat as much. And don't forget that each "wing" is a whole wing, not a segment.

does not really bother me, but of course I never thought about it that way I guess.

I can certainly understand serving 2 people, but 3, that would have to be 3 people with small appetites or huge wings.
Wings made from real buffalo would probably be pretty good
Turkey buffalo wings
This looks delicious! Where did you get it, and how much did it run for? I bet one wing (whole) was enough.
