I was at McDonalds and decided to try the new Mighty Wings. I was very surprised how great they were and tasted like chicken wings from a decent restaurant. The Mighty Wings tasted fresh, were hot, and had a nice spicy kick to them.  Has anyone tried the new mighty wings yet? If not, I highly recommend them.

great winds should be BAKED with homemade sauce !   this mass production deep fry with cheap ass veggie oil (if you are lucky) does not cut it.

 

 

 

anything MC D does cannot be great, by default. While they are getting better (and nowadays i actually grab a thing or two from there...)  you gotta be High to call them great (hmmm... mr chicken... i am looking at you)

I have had chicken wings at real restaurants, and these were surprisingly just as good. They are in fact real chicken wings. It didn't even taste anything like McDonalds like food.

...

my point is that major restarant chains serve crap as well... and the only real way to enjoy it is to cook them yourself or find a place that bakes (not deep fries) them

 

however i see your point, and i do buy wings from take outs once in a while.    so i will certainly give them a go, as my guilty pleasure, rather then buying them from a bar/pub.

 

hopefully the price will be better and the quality willl be same.

Sorry as someone who lives in Buffalo works less than 10 minutes away from the Anchor Bar (if you hit all the lights) and lives at Duff's during the NHL season. wings should not be baked, they are not bad but real wings must be deep fried. Also must use Blue Cheese not ranch. Now if you use a homemade marinade or sauce that part I like.

 

I have yet to try wings from MCD's but I have my reservations and think this will be jettisoned from the menu fairly quickly. I think Wings and McDonalds is not one of the places that comes up.

Can't say that I've tried them nor am I likely too as I don't want to pay the premium they charge. For those that have them in their cities (I'm pretty sure it's US only) Buffalo Wild Wings are awesome and cheaper than Mcdonald's.

Buffalo Wild Wings are definitely the bomb. Beats everything else around.

I've had them twice so far, the first time wasn't that great to be honest (very little meat, extremely greasy) but the second time I had them they were terrific (from McD's!?!?) with tons of meat and very little grease (and quite spicy actually).

 

Very surprised how good they were to be honest. Wasn't expecting much of course. Also, a 10 piece, which if you are a big wing eater you know, that's not enough...is quite expensive.

 

And yes, the McWraps are realllllly good. Especially the crispy ones. That new Southwest whatever it's called is really tasty. Though I could do without the tortilla chips in there. The wrap they use is amazingly good (normally) and the sandwich is quite large every time. Very impressed with that one McD's.

We just got one built around here. I've been meaning to give them a try and I'll have to try a little harder now.

BW3's is definitely awesome, but the boneless chicken sizes are a bit disappointing.

 

Locally to me, there's one of these across the street from a BW3: http://www.thelube.com/

The boneless chicken wings are twice the size and the sauces are better.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.
