BWW uses seed oils in all the sauces.

And in all the dry rubs.(no shit.. I have some aging shakers of it here in the house and soybean oil is an ingredient on all 3)

So they fry in tallow but then slather it in seed oils anyways

Ok thats good to know but the amount of oil absorbed in breading would be more of a concern for me. At some point I just admit fried chicken is probably never going to be perfect and enjoy it sparingly.
their wings arent breaded.

Also, bc of what we feed chickens has changed radically over the years, chickens are themsleves particularly high in omega6s. .

And they store most of it in their skin. A skinless breast isn't so bad.

Wings? Even without sauce or being fried, you might as well be taking a shot of canola oil

Good point, thanks. The fried shrimp I had was soaked in oil. My understanding is that unsaturated oils are somewhat stabilized by saturated fats. Maybe I'll take some coconut oil chasers if I go to BWW again.
