SYRACUSE, NY -- Two employees of a Syracuse restaurant are accused of stealing more than $40,000 in chicken wings and selling them to other restaurants and "on the street" for a poultry sum, according to the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 Sheriff's office spokesman Jon Seeber said Paul Rojek, 56, and Joshua Rojek, 33, of Syracuse, billed approximately $41,000 of chicken-wing orders to the Twin Trees Two restaurant's business account between February and late November. 
 
 The father-son pair was employed there as cooks, Seeber said. 
 
 The pair would pick up the orders and re-sell them on the street or to other local establishments for a reduced price. They would later destroy and withhold the sales transactions receipts for those orders, Seeber said. 
 
 They're facing charges including grand larceny in the third degree and falsifying business records in the first degree. They appeared in court Nov. 24 where a judge set their bail at $2,500 cash or bond. 

 SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A father and son found themselves in hot water after police busted their chicken wing racket last month, according to the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 
 
 Police say 56-year-old Paul Rojek and 33-year-old Joshua Rojek started the racket while they were employed as cooks at Twin Trees Too Restaurant on Milton Avenue. 
 
 
 
 
 
 The duo allegedly developed a system where they would order chicken wings from the restaurant's supplier, pick up the orders and re-sell the chicken on the street or to other local businesses for a reduced price, according to police. 
 
 From February to November, the father and son were able to hide $41,000 worth of product. 
 
 Both men are charged with third-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records. 
 
 This is not the first time the father has been arrested for this same crime -- According to the Onondaga County Sheriffs' Office, he was arrested for allegedly stealing chicken wings from Dominick's restaurant in 2014.
– It's a crime of some passion in Syracuse, just down the road from the birthplace of the Buffalo chicken wing: Father and son Paul Rojek and Joshua Rojek stand accused of pilfering a squawk-worthy $41,000 worth of wings from the restaurant where they worked, and as the Post-Standard reports, they apparently managed to do it in a 10-month spree that ended in late November with criminal charges. Police say the Rojeks billed the wings to the business account of the Twin Trees Two Restaurant, picked them up from the supplier, then sold them on the street and on the side to other restaurants at slashed prices, pocketing the proceeds. They're charged with third-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records. It's allegedly not the first time they pulled the caper, reports CNYCentral: They were charged last year with stealing chicken wings from another restaurant.
