PETA's Not Laughing at The New York Times's Sexy Chicken

The Atlantic Wire Lots of people, if Twitter is a guide, thought The New York Times Dining section's unusually procative photo of a chicken was good fun. Above the fold and accompanying an article about the allure of eating chicken skin, an uncooked chicken is propped with one wing down, legs crossed, the other wing resting gently on the thigh. "Everyone knows deep down that they are closet chicken-skin lovers," taco chef Sean Brock tells The Times. The article goes on to describe the ins-and-outs of the trend in chicken-skin tacos, but based on the buzz on Twitter, not many people made it past the lead photo. One person called it "magnificent," another "sexy as hell."  Tweeted another, "NYT sexin' it up. And I like it!" 

Chicken Skin tacos?   I'm in.....fuck you Peta.
