It has to be wings right now. If I go out to a bar or cafe and I see that they have wings on the menu, then for sure I am ordering it. And good thing that e have now a whole lot of options to place wings from. Other than the fast food joints like KFC, Pizza Hut, Dominos, McDonalds, Burger King, La Pinoz,  Chicking and Popeyes (the latest entrant), we also have local cafes and restaurants joining in and giving us wings.

I have just checked and I have had wings from about 10 local cafes and there is a lot more just waiting to be eaten. I love bbq, bakes or fried wings but I think baked are the best. Chicken wings are widely loved because of their crispy, flavorful skin, the versatility to be seasoned with a variety of sauces, their relatively low cost compared to other cuts of chicken, the social aspect of sharing them while eating, and the fact that they are considered a “convenient” food option due to their small size and ease of preparation. And if they are ordered in from a cafe, the better.

There is even 1 or 2, by my last count, wings specialty fast food in Kochi. I think The Wing Culture opened in the last year, certainly not before 2024 January, and they are really expensive. Their prices are not based on reality so I do not feel like ordering from them. The other one is called Valhalla Wings and I haven’t checked them out either. I am happy with the various options now when just 5 years ago, we only had 6 or 7 places that offered wings.
