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. Shocked 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?" Cool
