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?

Is there even a question that the thigh is best? No, no there is not.
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.
Fancy parties, like the ones thrown annually at the Met where Joan Rivers would ask celebrities "Who are you wearing?"
