If you're eating a chicken wing off the bone, you're doing it wrong, according to Food Wishes. Their tutorial shows you how to debone a chicken wing by simply (maybe) twisting and pulling out the bones. Do any of you use this method? Watch the video after the jump....

Art Smith's fried chicken. [Photograph: Erin Zimmer] Fried Chicken Recipes Art Smith's recipe » The Lee Brothers' recipe » Paula Deen's recipe » Edna Lewis' recipe » Chefs are paying more attention to fried chicken—the seasonings, 36-hour brines, air-drying techniques, and fancy bread crumbs. There really doesn't seem to be a downside of a fried chicken boom. But at the end of the day, is it really any better than Popeyes? We asked a few Southern food gurus for their secrets to classic fried chicken....

Note: It's time for another edition of Street Food Profiles. This week we scoot to Portland, Oregon, a sidewalk cuisine mecca where this one-item menu finds inspiration from Bangkok vendors. [Photographs: Nong's Khao Man Gai] Name: Nong's Khao Man Gai (pronounced cow-mon-guy) Vendor: Narumol "Nong" Poonsukwattana Location and hours? SW 10th Avenue and Alder Street (map) across the street from Jake's Grill in Portland, Oregon. What do you sell? Khao Man Gai ($6), or poached chicken served on jasmine rice with cucumber slices and cilantro. And don't forget that little tub of sauce—it's made with fresh ginger, garlic, sugar, fermented soy beans, and chile, and meant to be poured all over the meal. The Piset (pee-set), or "special" in Thai,...

"Jerk wouldn't be jerk without the heat." [Photographs: Nick Kindelsperger] Tropic Island Jerk Chicken 419 E. 79th Street, Chicago IL 60619 (map); 773-224-7766 The Short Order: Juicy jerk chicken, laced with spices. Want Fries with That? No, but you'll definitely get some rice and red beans. Want Ketchup? Just some mind-numbing hot sauce. I knew Tropic Island Jerk Chicken would be good the moment I walked inside. It's not like you can fake this kind of authenticity. Who needs any coherent design theme, level floors, or more than one rickety table that nobody uses? I mean, the owner was speaking in what sounded like a Jamaican accent, but that wasn't even necessary. All I needed was the unmistakable sent of...

According to the New York Times, we just might avert a trade war with China because of the Chinese people's love of one particular poultry part. The headline says it all: Chewy Chicken Feet May Quash a Trade War. I'm thinking this must be the Chinese trade mantra: "Millions for Defense, But There's Plenty Left Over for Chicken Parts."...

Note: On Mondays, one of our various Market Scene correspondents checks in with what's fresh at farmstands, what's coming up, and what you better get while the gettin's good. This week, our Boston correspondent Penny Cherubino of BostonZest checks in. Photographs by Penny Cherubino Bostonians who live downtown, have more than 25 farmers' markets within easy walking or public transit distance. The City Hall Farmers' Market is one of the most convenient. It's located on the plaza outside Boston City Hall at the Government Center subway station. It's also close to many places that bring people into the heart of the city. Peaches were on my shopping list with a whole new use in mind. Neelam Batra, author of 1000...

"A single bite of the homemade KFC is enough. It's like biting into a dew-fresh ripe peach after eating a canned one. It's obviously the same thing but an order of magnitude better." Earlier in the week, the news splashed that a Long Island, New York, man claimed he had reverse-engineered the KFC's 11 herbs and spices. The secret recipe that Ron Douglas unlocked depends heavily on Accent, a commercial MSG-based flavoring. Everyone blogged about the discovery, but did anyone try it? At least one blog we read did. In England, Tim Hayward (above) of the Guardian's Word of Mouth went for it. But he went one better, asking Word of Mouth readers to help him come up with a...

Good Bite is a new website that brings together recipes, cooking advice, and tutorial videos from some of the web's most popular (and Serious Eats' favorite) cooking-focused food bloggers. The first roundtable video features chicken recipe ideas from Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes, and Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen. The general consensus: white mean is bland. But that doesn't mean they don't like chicken at all; Deb likes to brine her cutlets, Elise focuses on thighs, and Jaden recommends cooking chicken wings with hoisin sauce. Watch the video after the jump....

If I had a slice of bacon for every cute cheffy deconstruction of a classic dish that had gone wrong, I’d be bigger than Niman Ranch. Even if the deconstruction goes right, the gourmet-ing up of mac and cheese or PBJ has been done so much that it’s getting boring. Still, one chef whose deconstructions I never get sick of is Graham Elliot Bowles of Graham Elliot. The cool thing about Bowles is he knows when to deconstruct and when to just leave classics alone. If he wants to use Pop Rocks, he doesn’t have some kitchen intern researching how to re-create Pop Rocks for a week, he just goes to the corner store and buys them. Sometimes you just...
