    the 4 longest answers all contain a part of a chicken: LEG in LEGWARMERS, THIGH in THIGHHIGHS, WING in WINGTIPSHOE, and BREAST in BREASTPLATE... all the themers are something you can wear so the meta answer is DRESSED UP CHICKEN (CHICKEN DRESSED UP also accepted)... my family usually fights over the drumstick but i like the thigh the best... what's your favorite part?
    • rjy 2s · 2024-07-19T14:09:41.150Z
      Is there even a question that the thigh is best? No, no there is not.
      Fun puzzle, BTW!

      Mmmmm. Roast chicken night is always a favorite in this house. I'm a dark meat guy... my kids always go right for the drumsticks, so I'm happy to grab a thigh afterward.
