GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Packers tight end Jared Cook got an unappetizing surprise in his order of chicken wings last week — a fried chicken head.

Cook said he found the head Tuesday as he was at home, eating a carry-out order from Buffalo Wild Wings. He said Friday that he was eating his first wing when he saw the head and “immediately spit my food out.”

He returned his order to the restaurant for a refund. The story got attention Friday after he posted a picture of the head on Twitter.

The restaurant chain said in a statement: “Buffalo Wild Wings takes food preparation, service and quality extremely seriously and we are looking into this situation. We’ve reached out to Jared Cook and our suppliers for more information.”

They've got D tier wings anyway.

 

[xxracerxx]

Extra wet?

 

[Netherscourge]

Yea, that would ruin chicken wings for me for the rest of my life.

I once found a chickenhead at a Buffalo Wild Wings.

Mildly jarring, but I mean... it's part of the chicken. I've bought whole chickens from the Latin market near me and hacked the head and feet off myself. Being afraid of the animals we eat is kind of a weird American thing, I don't get it. That's the head, that's what the fucking animal looks like it. If you're gonna eat it you should know that.

 

[JABEE]

It's Cheesehead, not chickenhead.

Right? It's just another piece of meat, it's got eyes, the other part didn't.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

"It has the head of a cock!"

 

[Amalthea]

Should've taken it home to nail it at his basement wall and worship that head as his new god like every sane person would do.

Uh ok? If I order a hamburger and there is a grilled bull penis on my bun I'm gonna be pissed.

 

[BronsonLee]

Typical Green Bay quality control!

 

[Mechanized]

At least you know they aren't making artificial science chickens like KFC. Marketing opportunity!

 

[Suite Pee]

We need you back in 5 weeks, Cook. Don't be eating that shit.

 

[Stinkles]

This is why you never try to order pico de gallo in Spanish.

 

[Switch Back 9]

At least is isn't a rat.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Soft launch gone awry?

I think in general you're right but I doubt he was afraid of it. He paid for edible wings though, not an inedible head. Plus it calls into question how they prepare food which goes to cleanliness.

 

[Sanjuro]

Put some hot sauce on it and you're good to go.

We are super removed from the process. We grow up eating boneless chicken that came in a fun box with a toy. It wouldn't ruin wings for me but I'd be pretty fucking blowed if I found a chicken head in my wings. I'd still eat the wings tho.

Also Wild Wings kind of sucks.

 

[HotHamBoy]

God forbid people remember where their meat comes from.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wow. That would probably scar me for life.

 

[GKSilKamina]

I was just at Buffalo Wild Wings this week. How come I didn't get a chicken head with my order of wings?

 

[starchild excalibur]

He's entitled to be grossed out and return the food, but there's a part of me that's amused by it all given how many parts of the chicken are regularly eating depending on where you're looking culturally. It's one thing to find a rat in an order of chicken wings or a roach in a Big Mac, but here you're essentially finding a piece of chicken in your chicken meal.

*shrug*

All of this, pretty much. I'm super conservative when it comes to what I eat vs the rest of my family and extended family (we're Nigerian), so while I dont fuck with chicken head or feet or anything I also don't find the idea of eating it so jarring that it'd leave a mark on me.

 

[Forerunner]

I'd eat it.

 

[Futureman]

Maybe stop resting animals if this is so horrifying to you.

 

[commedieu]

Count me in the put it aside and continue eating crew. You're literally eating a chicken. Chickens have heads, genitals, and hearts.

A lot of people aren't going to survive the quickening.

9 out of 10 times it would taste like chicken anyway.

 

[Bitanator]

Send it to Andrew Zimmern

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I mean, it ain't a rat and it was cooked.

Throw it out and eat. I would've had a good meal and a funny story to tell.

 

[Zombine]

Here's the thing though...yeah it's a chicken head, but you're eating a chicken. People need to get more intimate with their food and stop and think about what they're actually eating before they eat it.

You are his body, bro. Now it's time to eat his head.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'd get that refund for more chicken wings tho.

 

[JustenP88]

Who let Project Pat in the kitchen?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Bawk bawk, chickie chickie, bawk bawk, chicken head.

This. It's part of the animal that we're eating. There was a head in my order of wings at some restaurant (non-chain) one time years ago. I set it aside and ate the rest. Whatever, big deal. People are so squeamish sometimes. If this is so horrifying maybe you aren't cut out to be an omnivore.

 

[Pulka]

Yea, that would ruin chicken wings for me for the rest of my life.

All meat you eat comes from animals with faces

 

[SgtCobra]

Send it to Andrew Zimmern

Oh God I can hear him already talking about how the thing has a mineral-like taste followed by him trying to pretend it's the best thing ever, and after that he thanks the kitchen crew by heart for the hospitality. Yeah I'd watch that episode.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

People are removed from eating meat, so yeah it's pretty shocking when the head of the animal is just chilling there. I'd be sick too.

And no, it's not 'just another piece of meat'. That's ridiculous. There comes a point where eating meat gets a bit too barabaric. It's not naturally that way, but that's our culture

 

[biggersmaller]

If it were me?

"I demand unlimited wings and booze for me and my friends for the rest of the night."

*happily eats 30 wings and gets drunk

Don't ever go out to eat at a Chinese restaurant then.

If you've eaten at McDonalds...

 

[Lubricus]

I prefer my chicken heads in Vienna sausages, it is blended in with the rest of the parts.

 

[dream]

I never thought I'd see a chicken head more horrific than that McNugget from a few years back, but goddamn.

 

[Aiustis]

I would probably try to stick it on my finger.

#meatfingerpuppet

 

[Lashley]

why is this news?

 

[andythinkpad]

Big fucking deal.

 

[mechashiva]

If it counted to my total count I'd be upset.

 

[The Beard]

 

[Geek]

I ate a chicken head once. By choice. Wasn't that bad.

Toughen up, Jared.

If it counted to my total count I'd be upset.

OK this is fair.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

One time my friend and I were eating at BWW. He got some kind of wrap and straight-up found a screw in it. No idea how that happens but needless to say we made sure they understood how serious it was. I'll never eat at another BWW again.
