Taking a shot of apple cider vinegar also helped blunt the glucose spike. Alcohol also blunts a glucose spike. Basically just distract your liver and you won’t get a massive spike in blood glucose levels.

I would assume the chicken slows down your stomach's digestion/emptying (resulting in slower intake of the carbohydrates/sugars of the fries). Whether it's healthy to eat 10 chicken wings on an empty stomach is another question.

I'm not sure if that is the best/correct advise. I would advise: eat more fiber.
I believe this is correct according to Levels.

Why do you say that? I think as long as you're not eating wings tossed in a sugary sauce or corn starch, and they're cooked in a good fat like beef tallow, avocado oil, olive oil, etc. they're a perfectly healthy food. There's an ounce or less of meat really, so it's not some crazy amount of protein you're taking in at once.

I agree with you about eating more fiber. I believe that's the key to improved gut health, and getting a more sustained level energy from your food. I didn't mean to imply that distracting your liver is "healthy," but I do think that's what's going on in some of these situations.
