A new study has claimed that kids who eat chicken wings become more aggressive as compared to those who eat pre-cut chicken.

The researchers asserted that since biting food seemed to increase the activity level, aggression and noncompliance, it may not be wise to serve young children chicken wings shortly before bedtime, the Mirror reported.

Dr Brian Russell told Fox News that he would place absolutely zero chicken stock in this study.

Russell said that according to him people have been eating chicken wings and chicken drumsticks for a millennium and he did not think that it made them any more aggressive than they otherwise would have been.
