As the title suggests, when did this happen? How?
In my humble opinion, chicken wings should be eaten with your hands. Almost, as savagely, as ribs. But when the hell did people start eating them with utensils? It just, seems wrong on so many levels.
Were they boneless? I’ve done it with the overgrown nuggets that are boneless wings. It works well. They cut cleanly and they’re 1-4 bites of purely edible material. No sauce on your hands and efficient eatin’.
Regular bone-in wings? That’s nuts. Holding them is the only way to get anything like the proper angle of attack. Mess is inevitable and accepted.
Bone-in, nuts! I accept that when I eat them my face will be covered in sauce; too close to the eyes and i’m crying. But generally a sloppy mess and happier than a pig in shit as I’m doing it
