Best is fried. Stuffed fried are good, better than baked, but
I prefer plain (hot sauce is nice, absence of sauce is better).

What's a travesty? I took Jonathan to dinner today, and his order of
Buffalo wings (12 pieces, referred to most places as "12 wings,"
instead of the less-than-6 that would be an accurate description)
cost $10, just a little less than his main dish of catfish. I had
short ribs with swiss chard, sweet-potato-tasso hash, and "cranberry
demi" - $18, two undercooked bone-free 3-oz pieces that I would have
sent back if it weren't for the lovely fat on their underside, with
the advertised vegetable (which I hate but ate after soaking it with
the non-berried demiglace), and quite nice cubes of sweet potato and
ham and onion. But the $.80 a wing segment really got me steamed.

It does get worse with age.

Not sure about that, as the elevated temperature of
the inside of a compost heap is pretty good assurance
that almost anything will eventually turn into useful
fertilizer.
