Cluck off: Why you shouldn't be eating chicken wings

Chicken wings are one of my favourite indulgences. I like salt and pepper wings with a side of ranch -- I'm drooling just thinking about it. But what was previously a 'once-a-week' indulgence for me has become more like a 'once-a-year' indulgence because as it turns out, they're terrible for you.
Don't get me wrong ... if you domestically inclined, you can probably find a way to make them less unhealthy. Don't deep-fry them, for one. I like barbecued or baked wings as much as regular ones. And it might be a good idea to remove the skin, although that doesn't leave much meat left.
But if you're watching your weight, stay away from restaurant chicken wings. Far away. They're deep-fried unless otherwise stated. And usually breaded. For 10 wings, your going to cost yourself between 800 and 2000 calories, and at least 60 g of fat (more like 100). For more shocking wing facts, check out this article and let me know your thoughts.
