Chicken wings (in their current finger food incarnation) are a marketing gimmick that worked.
I remember not that long ago, chicken wings were nasty, veiny, dark and small portioned little bits of the chicken and they were quite unpopular because of it.
Some bright bulb at a large chicken company said "how can we sell more of these, they're just not selling that well" and came up with coating them in various flavors of breading, and serving them with dipping sauces... they then marketed these abominations to college kids as party food, and the rest is history.
I have news... they're still nasty, veiny, dark and small portioned little bits of chicken, except that now they're premium priced.
