How To Eat Chicken Wings WIthout Using Your Hands - A Step By Step Guide

Written by Christopher Kia on 7:59 PM

Step 1. Look and drool at your wonderful dish of chicken wings..knowing that you will NOT dirty your hands enjoying them :)

Step 2. With a fork, hold your chicken wing in this manner.



Step 3. Bite according to the yellow dotted lines. You will notice that it corresponds to an area where the tiny bones join only by a bit and that it can be bitten off easily.



Step 4. Again, bite according to the yellow dotted lines; some say this is the best part of the chicken wing! Take some time to enjoy this part :)



Step 5. This step is probably the hardest step as it requires biting through the "corner" or the joint of the chicken wing. This area has the most cartilage. Patiently, bite according to the yellow dotted lines.



Step 6. Your chicken wing should now look like this.


To me, this is the best part of the chicken wing eating experience as you can bite through the meatiest part of the chicken wing, easily leaving two long bones behind.

Step 7. This step is pretty much straight forward from now on. Clean up the final two pieces of bone :).





Step 8. Look Ma, no hands!!!



Now you can enjoy your favourite chicken wings without looking too messy and without dirtying your hands. :)

Credits to my beloved Grandma for preparing the chicken wings in the pics and Christine dear for putting up with me during the preparation of this guide :)

New Year. New Beginning, New Computer

New Year
Happy New Year 2008 everyone! Here's wishing you the very best for the year ahead! As for myself, I am really looking forward to what God has in store for me this year. I always believe that with every new year, we should dare to dream bigger, reach further and bounce back stronger from our failures and disappointments the year before.

New Beginning
My little niece (my first one!) Sarah (1 year old on 29th December 2007) walked for the first time on New Year's Eve! What a day to make your first walk! I'm so glad that I took out my phone and started recording the precious moments that night! Check out her videos below:

New Computer
After weeks of thought, my father and I have decided to get a new computer, and we got it on New Year's Day! Our ol' ye' faithful Pentium III family computer (bought back in 2000) has been serving us faithfully since. However, it has really shown its age lately and there were two instances where it failed to boot from the hard disk, potentiating loss of vital data. My dad, being an avid and enterprising options trader ;), decided to give his trading sessions a boost in performance and productivity, apart from preserving valuable data. Two weeks before, we've got a good deal for two Dell wide LCD monitors (one 19" and one 22") online during the PC Fair period. Here's the specification for my new family desktop:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2Ghz
ASUS P5GC-MX Motherboard
2 x Kingston 1GB DDRII 667Mhz
Western Digital 250GB SATA II Hard Disk Drive
Panasonic DVD-RAM 20x Multi-Drive
Power Logic Azzura 2000 450W Casing

I got the PC, two Dell wide LCD Monitors and even a Logitech QuickCam IM webcam (video conferencing with my dear parents now possible..woohoo!) for just under RM3000. That was a really good deal!! I had a fruitful Christmas and New Year tech shopping after all ;)
