There was a 1 kg tray of chicken wings in the reduced section for £1.18 so.....

I gave them a dry rub of salt, pepper and a few herbs then roasted them in a hot oven. Whilst they were roasting I sautéed some celery, onion, carrot and mushroom chunks in butter and oil. The roasted wings were put in the pan with the veg with a litre and a half of chicken stock and left to boil for about two hours, then drained through a sieve into a bowl.

I made a roux with butter, flour and milk, then added the chicken reduction and brought to a simmer to make a thickish soup.

Guess what's for tea?

I wouldn't make them into soup, we'd just eat them

Actually we're having chicken wings for dinner, I remembered a bag of them in the freezer, hot and spicy, from Lidl
Perfect - chuck in oven, add wedges (or if energy make potato salad), and make some sort of slaw from carrots, celery, peppers and red onion

I like chicken soup, sounds nice Frank

I find chicken wings a bit fiddly eating TBH

Di, there were too many wings for one person and my freezer is full, but soups can be heated daily and stay fresh - I learned that from Ken Hom and grandma. I did eat the meat from four of them.

Kaz, I do not know what the weather is like down your way, but there are days up here when soup does the job.

Warm on the whole Frank, but plenty of rain and a real autumnal nip to the mornings and evenings

Fair point Wm, perfect for two
Kaz we both love finger food

Mick loves wings so he would agree, it's just me being picky

One of those Marmite things I reckon Kaz

I am fussy though, don't eat the skin unless it's really crispy and then not a lot - and don't like drumsticks, they have those horrid sinewy/gristly bits in
Hate fat/skin/gristle in my mouth, puts me right off

Now here's a thing.

Wings, done crispy, give more skin to meat ratio than other parts of the chicken, and I like that.

I am not into getting all the chicken skinless so it's 'healthy', I want some tasty but unhealthy bits every now and then.
