It is magnetic.
If not what do you think it is?

Welcome to the forum from White Plains, New York! 
Was it found in a known strewnfield? What country are you in?

I'm sorry, but I can't get over how much that looks like the chicken wings my wife tried to feed me last night!

Anything's possible - it really does look like a chicken wing!
It's clearly from a space chicken.

Okay! I am going to assume it's some sort of steel item (from a steel space chicken). Thanks for the help! I am still somewhat of an amateur so I might pop up in future threads with other items.

Welcome to TreasureNet! Glad to hear I didn't turn you off to to posting further finds by my joking around. There are folks here who can ID a wide range of items. This one is tough, being caked up iron. It likely wouldn't hurt the item underneath with some light tapping with a hammer. -but that's just my view, and others may suggest a softer gentler approach... Or even electrolysis (easier than is sounds!)

You're only an amateur until you call yourself a pro 
I'm really curious to find out what this is. Don't give up so soon! The meteorite people may not be on yet. I've never seen a meteorite in person and they all have different characteristics. Magnetic/non magnetic, shiny bits or dull surface, textures are all over the place https://meteorites.asu.edu/meteorites/meteorite-appearance
Regardless what it is, it's the fact you found something that looks odd makes it pretty cool

Not a meteorite-some man-made bit of detritus.
