A father and son in upstate New York managed to steal more than four times the amount of chicken wings as this guy in Connecticut, and probably like twice as many as Joey Chestnut can possibly eat.

Deputies say Paul Rojek, 56, and his son Joshua Rojek, 33, ripped off more than $41,000 worth of chicken wings from a Syracuse restaurant where they worked as cooks and then sold them on the black market, either to people or other restaurants, the New York Post reported.

The duo reportedly ordered the wings through the Twin Trees Too Restaurant's supplier, then picked them up and sold them at a cheaper price.

It's not clear whether the wings were mild, medium or spicy, or whether they stole blue cheese or ranch. If they did steal celery to go on the side, nobody cared.
