Chicken Wing – FAQs

What are chicken wings? 

Chicken wings are a cut from the wing of the chicken, divided into three parts: drumette, wingette, and the tip. They are popular for their tender meat and ability to hold sauces and seasonings. 

What is the difference between drumettes and winettes? 

Drumettes resemble small drumsticks with a single bone and contain more meat, making them easy to handle. Whereas wingettes are flatter with two bones and tender, flavourful meat between them, offering a juicier bite due to their higher skin-to-meat ratio. Both are delicious options, perfect for sauces, grilling, or frying.

What’s best to serve with chicken wings? 

It’s ultimately down to personal preference when choosing paired sides, however we recommend: 

• Jacket potatoes 
• Onion rings 
• Coleslaw (especially for hot wings) 
• Garlic bread 
• Garden salad 
• Potato wedges 

What sauces work best to flavour chicken wings? 

We recommend a few different sauces you could flavour your chicken wings with including: 

• Bufalo sauce 
• Classic barbeque sauce 
• Lemon pepper sauce 
• Sweet chili sauce 
• Honey mustard

How do I know when chicken wings are cooked? 

Chicken wings are considered fully cooked and safe to eat when their internal temperature reaches 74°C. This temperature ensures any harmful bacteria are destroyed, making them safe for consumption. To check if the wings are proper cooked, use a meat thermometer and insert it into the thickest part of the meat. 

How many chicken wings should I serve per person? 

We recommend planning for 6-10 wings per person, depending on serving style. For a main dish, plan for 8-10 wings per person, while 6-7 wings work well as a starter or side dish. Adjust this guide based on appetite, wing size, side dishes, and leftovers.

What’s the best way to cook chicken wings? 

Your choice of cooking is completely up to preferences, however chicken wings can be grilled, baked, fried, or air fried. Baking and air frying are healthier options while grilling adds a smoky flavour. If you enjoy crispier textures, frying might be the best option for you. Each cooking method offers unique flavour and suits various tastes.
