Hi Tom

It's difficult to know for sure without any context, but obviously there is a play on words with the proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I assume the meaning is that the best way to eat some forms of chicken is with your hands. For example, trying to eat chicken wings with a fork and knife is practically impossible. :shock: Something that is usually eaten without fork and knife is often called "finger food".

Maybe they even wanted to say that the best kind of chicken is chicken wings. I myself love "Buffalo style chicken wings"!

This is the evidence: It?s always good to read as much as you can. Amy?s saying is the answer to a riddle that Alan gave in the topic "What do you want to talk about?" 8)
