Hot wings
Farther afield: Two Syracuse-area men are accused of plot in which it's alleged they stole $41k of (presumably uncooked) chicken wings from a restaurant and then sold them to other establishments. Said an Onondaga County DA to the Post-Standard: "It's actually kind of funny that there's a black market for chicken wings ... But the demand is that high."

You've got to wonder about the integrity of the "other establishments" that buy their food from a couple of guys off the "back of a pickup truck or from a warehouse." According to the article, it's a somewhat common practice.

Restaurant Owner: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
County DA: I'm shocked... shocked to find stolen chicken wings on sale in there.
Server: Your twelve boxes of chicken wings to go, sir.
County DA: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much. [Aloud] Everybody out.
