Chicken Wings
Not long ago, I went to Madina Store to get our weekly supply of halal meat. I bought 1 kg of lamb, 3 whole chickens and a pack of sausages. I also ordered a handful of chicken wings. The guy who took my order went into the other room (I supposed where they have a big freezer) and came out with a BAGful of chicken wings. He said all that for only £1.
At home, I showed it to Babah and he asked "Kenapa murah sangat?" I didn't know the answer.
But I remember thinking that I will get more chicken wings the next trip to the halal shop because they were a lot more cheaper than whole chicken or chicken legs.
For the whole week, my head was ringing with Babah's question "Kenapa murah sangat". Although (I think) Babah was far over it because he enjoyed the fried chicken wings and tandoori chicken wings I prepared for the family over the week.
I concluded myself (without any reference) that chicken wings are just the unwanted parts of a chicken to be processed into other products ie burger, minced meat, etc..
Yesterday, I received an email from a friend about the hazards of eating chicken wings. They cause ovarian cysts in women because of the injections they get on their wings.
No wonder chicken wings were so cheap, I thought.
I was horrified! So I thought that I should post an entry about chicken wings here and probably get Atuk to do the research. (Malas punya menantu) So, here I am blogging away about chicken wings.
I tried to find a good image of chicken wings, when I came across an article from Urban Legends Reference Pages about chicken wings. Like the title, the email I received was just a myth. So I shouldn't worry about it at all. But tell me if anyone knows anything about why chicken wings are sold at cheaper price.

masa student kat cardiff dulu, we used to get big bagfuls of chicken wings for free! and lived on them basically, until we got tired of chicken wings. a favourite dish during hari raya during the student days were barbecue chicken wings, ayam percik chicken wings, soto chicken wings, etc etc etc chicken wings. care to hazard a guess why? hehe
the shop which gave us the chicken wings eventually closed, i think at the start of fourth year. again, care to hazard a guess why? :D
(for those who know cardiff tudor st, it's near the total petrol station. waa.. rindu cardiff)
Hi mama sarah,
how have you been? Jue here. Received a note from my sister that you have your own blog! So I checked it out. It's wonderful! If you have the time, do write. I'm at juraina@um.edu.my
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Long time no hear!!! I'm alright alhamdulillah. On chicken wings apparently. hehe.
The last time I heard from you was in 2000, just before I kahwin. So glad I found your baby sister!
Will email you, insyaAllah.
Auntie de,
I didn't expect such a response from you. I thought you might say, it's dangerous to eat chicken wings. or better stop eating / buying chicken wings.
I'd definitely get more chicken wings then!! Unless Atuk says otherwise.
if we were to stop and think about everything we eat (apart from bab halal haram lah), tak makan la jawabnye, with all the horror stories, lebih2 lg zaman student pokai dulu, heehee.. ayam free? sure, whyever not?
still not sure why they were free though, and mynn did raise a good point. but me, i'd take things with a pinch of salt - where is the evidence behind it? and besides, chicken wings are nice in the hands of the right cook, eh mynn ;)
like most things, the food u eat is at your discretion at the end of the day. but do keep me posted on the chicken wings story yeh? (not that i can say they're my favourite after having basically just chicken wings half a year of my life!)
wallahu alam, Allah knows best

Apa yang diketahui....Chicken Wings tak bagus sebab boleh menyebabkan Breast Cancer.....Dah banyak gak research pasal ni...Satu lagi french fries..pun tak elok tuk womens
thanks anonymous; alamak, ni breast cancer pulak.
kena mendapat kesahihan dr para researchers ni.
still tunggu atuk punya comment. mana atuk ni??
tp thank you for your wise conclusion auntie de; Allah knows best.
Setuju dengan Auntie De. :)
This reminds me: at the market on Friday's some halal butchers give away lungs for free.. hmmm...
orang tu kasi auntie de banyak sangat chicken wings sampai bankrup!
kesian kedai tu, my favourite kedai tau.
sampai gitu sekali berkenan, orang kedai ayam tu yek? ahahahahaii.. ;P
oh forgot to ngomen, KKL, waa, dah lama tak makan paru! my hsemate dulu rajin masak paru goreng. dia panggil, emm.. name escapes me, but it sounded like kelemping, or kelompang, or kelempung. kelempung kut..
(entahnye... all i remember is, bunyi macam pinggan pecah)
ha ah lah kedai halal sebelah petrol station tu!!! dah tak de kan? bangkrupt rupanya.
i teringat ada satu mamat yg pandai ckp melayu used to work there. dok panggil i 'dayang'. tapi last2 tinggal 'yang' je. kekeke. pak cik tu jual icecream sekarang. siap bagi sarah free ice cream last sekali kita jumpa kat town dulu.
nama dia 'Lempong' lah auntie de.
mula2 i confident nk ckp lempong. tp now mcm tak berapa confident. yea ke lempong?
ke lompang? lompang tu sejenis kuih kan?
kelempung tu bahasa p. ramlee lah!
kelemping tu kurus kering.
aiseh... ni tanda2 kena balik msia cepat2 ni.
i think ada prefix 'ke-' in front lah. just cant remember what wound it makes next. mm.. but i do remember it was sedapp! oooh the calories...
yea, they do inject the chicken under their wings with estrogen to make them fat.. what i heard was, it'll cause the men more harm than women since it'sll increase the level og estrogen hormones in their body, which will exceed the level of tostesterones and hence.. jadi one of those 'auw auw' men.. or what we call as 'arbok'.
kesahihanya? belum dipastikan lagi.. hanya buah mulut orang sahaje..
my last comment, so many typo error daa..
hehee i thought it was called 'lempung'? When I was growing up they were called just 'paru'.
I miss lempung too... sedapnye... tapi nak proses dia jenuh jugak...
oh takde 'ke-' kat depan dia eh? is it an east coast thing? she was from kuantan.
so what's the alternative to oestrogen-laden chicken, pesticide-drenched veg , antibiotic-rich farmed fish, colour-tainted juices, etc..? organic? better still, farm your own chickens and grow your own veg. the hospital accomodations officer might not take too kindly to my wandering chickens though.. hmm..
dy inject oestrogen ka to get them fat? I can tell you the chicken wings I got were huge! Macam turkey-sized chicken.
Now you're saying dangerous for men. Yg I dengar dangerous for women.
Must get these researchers to be quick with their research. Apa tengah makan gaji buta ke researchers ni? Ke tengah update blog?
i wonder though, kalau kena inject... kenapa tak boleh mkn chicken wings aje? bukan kah suntikan itu menyerap dan membesarkan keseluruhan ayam tersebut?
KKL I thought lempung as well. could be pantai timur's version of it. but i'm very sure it's not called kelempang kelempung kelemping and such.
lempung sounds right. lempeng is malay pancake kan? lemping is not a word. lempang is penampar. so lempung should be right.
auntie de so angry one? how many chickens do you intend to bela anyway? kalau setakat 3 ekor tu, tak payah lah kot. buang karen je. tahan seminggu je tu. mari lah kita berhijrah ke brg2 organic pulak.
kalau tak pun, bedal je ayam. semoga allah memelihara kita semua.
mm.. not angry lah. besides, when i was a little aida dulu, i did bela some chickens dulu masa kat subang, right from when they were little chickies sampai besar. lepas tu kena sembelih. sayang punya pasal, tak makan ayam berminggu2 i lepas tu. so id better not bela anymore chickens
that settles it then, lempung. yes, beri beri the nice one.
yeah, i thought so too. kalau inject, mesti gi ke seluruh badan. unless dia depot injection macam yg guna utk perempuan2 manusia for contraception.
anyway, bacalah doa sebelum makan, and may Allah save us all. Ameen
eh, you poorly eh? get well soon!
Auntie De and Mama Sarah
Kelempung vs. lempung? Er, entahlah. Saya pun orang Kuantan jugak, but am a Pahang half-breed (mom from Perak) so perhaps this is term orang
Perak?
Sebut2 lempung ni terasa teringin pulak nak makan... hmmm...
eyy ha ah lah KKL, i rs maybe org Perak punya version jugak. sbb I pun kacukan (1/2)Johor (1/4)Terengganu (1/4)Perak.
Hari ni baru terlintas dlm kepala I, yg some of my aunts called it 'limpa'.
Assalamualaikum,
emm.. kitorang panggil hati limpa. peparu panggil paru. tu la i ingatkan lempung tu bahasa orang pantai timur pasal i baru dgr masa my hsemate cakap.
teringat kat ada my uncle sorang tu, he eats absolutely everything from daging to internal organs termasuk testicles and otak (eeeeek!).. and sum sum tulang. tapi sum sum tu mmg best kalau dapat buat sup. yam yam..
