I will concede that point.

Neither do I. My concern is the frequent consumption of a large number
of highly processed foods with numerous dubious ingredients.

(I still pig out at KFC about once a month. I would not want to have
lunch there daily though.)

That's enough collards for a while. Getting back to misc recent
downloaded recipes from all over, here is a nice variation on your
stuffed chicken wings.

     Title: Thai Stuffed Wings
Categories: Thai, chicken, groundmeat, pork, chilies
  Servings: 4

  2 1/2 lb wings, trimmed, separated
           and boned
    1/2 lb ground pork
      1 ts sambal oelek, or crushed red
           pepper flakes
      1 lg clove garlic, minced
      2 TB minced parsley
      5    water chestnuts, finely
           chopped
      1    whole medium green onion,
           finely chopped
    1/4 ts salt
    1/2 ts freshly ground black pepper
      1 TB mirin or dry sherry
      1 TB fish sauce or soy sauce
    1/4 c  cornstarch
           vegetable oil for deep
           frying
           SOY LEMON DIP:
      1    garlic clove, minced
           grated rind from 1 lemon
           juice of 1 lemon
    1/4 c  soy sauce
      4 ts mild honey
      1 ts sesame oil
      2 ts Durkee red hot sauce or
           tabasco sauce

These spectacular boned and stuffed wings have exotic flavors from 
Thailand. Boning and stuffing the wings is a simple but yet
consuming technique. Instructions for boning follow recipe. The
wings can be stuffed ahead of time, refrigerated, then dipped in
cornstarch and deep fried just before serving. The fish sauce (nam
pla)  is optional.

Combine pork, sambal oelek, garlic, parsley, water chestnut, and
fish sauce (soy sauce) in a bowl. Using fingers, stuff mixture
loosely into each wing cavity. Do not over stuff or stuffing will
not be properly cooked through when deep fried.

Coat wings by rolling in cornstarch. Heat oil to about 370 degrees
F. Deep fry wings, a few at a time, until golden brown.
Approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove  to a paper towel lined plate
to drain. Transfer to a platter and serve with soy lemon dip.
(recipe follows)

Trim wings buffalo style to start.  Set aside the drummette to use
in another recipe. Using a sharp knife, slice around the top of the
wing to loosen the skin and cut through the ligaments between the 2
wing bones.

Scrape and push the meat down the length of the bones, then twist
the bones off and discard.

Soy Lemon Dip: Mix ingredients in a small bowl and serve. Makes: 1/2
cup.
