McDonald’s Mighty Wings

There is no reason to buy these wings in NYC. I have been to the cheapest dive bars in the city and they have better and cheaper wings than McDonald’s Mighty Wings. Intrigued by the glowing review at The Impulsive Buy I decided to pick some up.

Packaging is nice but a big for only 5 pieces. The "BONE-IN" description is just silly, I get that is the point but it sounds ignorant. A worse description is Spicy, Bold, Delicious.

Not limited to wings there are also tiny drumsticks, hehe. Each bite is uneven. One bite is almost flavorless while a another bite gets you a mouthful of hot and spicy crumbs. Now my batch may have overcooked since they were very crispy and would crumble at the slightest touch.

Do not be fooled by the grease glistening on the surface the meat was dry. All the pieces were not juicy and the creamy ranch dressing included did help but then all the uneven flavor gets masked. Judging by the black marrow burn at the side I think my patch may have overdone.

I will not be trying a second batch since the $4.99 price for 5 pieces, plus tax is steep. I can get a dozen juicy wings at any dive bar for the same price. I am not one of those anti-fast food people but I have yet to find crispy wings from one of these joints that taste great.

Recommendation: Avoid for goodness sake.
