Chicken Wings? Must be those Chinese Flying Rats.
No worries. KFC has no restaurant in Flagstaff...
Have to be huge rat to get enough meat to fake the bone in chicken thighs I grilled last week....
If true, soebarkah’s getting his cut, as well as some of his favorite rat dish.

Instead of passing off the rat meat as chicken, they should turn it into cat food. Cats would like canned food made from rat meat better than any other, and they would make a fortune.
I would probably rat eat if hungry, but if I’m ordering chicken I want it to be chicken.
I knew I was making a good decision by sticking to the traditional (bone-in) wings. At least I know what I’m getting. The boneless ones could be anything and they usually cover them in bread crumbs.
I thought it tasted pretty good myself...
From the Bangkok Post (Thailand). 1 million Baht is about $25,000.
Grilled rats have become a local hit in Phitsanulok province and a couple has reportedly earned over a million baht a year selling them.
Somboon Yooyen, 50, and her boyfriend Somsak Tiwong run a grilled rodent stall on Sukhothai-Phitsanulok road near tambon Phai Kho Don.
“I am proud of selling grilled rats and I earn roughly 2,000 to 3,000 baht each day, sometimes 10,000 baht a day during festivals. This occupation provides me with enough cash to buy a truck and a house in only a couple of years,” said Ms Somboon.
The street vendor said she has been selling grilled rats for about six years. She said small rats go for 200 baht per kilogramme, medium size rats for 220 baht/kg, large ones for 250 baht/kg and raw ones for 180 baht/kg.
Most of the customers are locals who purchase about 3-5kg each time while tourists usually buy around 0.5kg as gifts.
Rat meat is becoming more popular in northern and central provinces. The meat can be roasted, stewed and fried, Ms Somboon added.
NYC has an endless supply of Rats
Never, never, never buy foodstuffs from Asia. That includes all this tilapia that’s being shipped in and sold as fresh fish.
In Vietnam the tilapia is grown in the Mekong Delta area in cages erected in the river. Just on the bank are clusters of shacks on stilts that house those doing the fish farming. A round hole is cut in the floor of the shack and that’s where the family shoves their ass when they take a crap that falls right into the Mekong.
Now this just go’s to prove a point.The government can’t even protect our markets from the sale of Rat Meat.Just what else are they allowing to be imported here and sold?
Those wings aren’t made out of buffalo, nor chicken....
I would never mistake squirrel for chicken -- so, I probably wouldn't be fooled by rat meat.
Are the faux-chicken rats just rodents scooped off the street and out of the sewers or are they farm-raised rats? Not that I’d ever eat ANYTHING from China. I’ll stick to kosher chicken, which I know is chicken.
Rat Fil-A?
