McDonald's Mighty Wings

McDonald's is probably the last place you'd expect to find great-tasting chicken wings, right? Well I've got news for you! I tasted their Mighty Wings a few days ago, and they were a BIG hit. They're a far cry away from the processed chicken nuggets and other chicken items on the menu. In case you're wondering, these are REAL bone-in chicken wings (in case you were confused by the "ribs" on their infamous McRib sandwich).  Make sure you get the Mighty Wings freshly fried and hot. I've tried them only hot, but I can't imagine that they'd taste even half as good if they're lukewarm.
 
The Mighty Wings, served as 3-, 5-, or 10-piece entrees, are spicy enough to drink with a glass of water (but not too spicy for my 8-year-old). With a bold flavor (cayenne and chili pepper) and crispy, perfectly fried skin, it's no wonder my husband and I went through the 10-count box in a matter of minutes. They're juicy and delicious. They're drummettes, not full wings, so they're easy to eat, and especially delicious if you enjoy them with the cool creamy ranch dressing they serve alongside them.
 
At just under $10 for a 10-piece, they're not exactly what you call cheap eats, and I'm not exactly convinced that they're worth the price, but still they're good enough to try once! Apparently these are supposed to leave the menu sometime this month (November 2013), so get them while you can!
