Chicken wings
Chicken wings are poultry portions commonly baked, fried, grilled, or coated in sauce.
About Chicken wings
Chicken wings are the wing portions of a chicken, commonly divided into drumettes, flats, or whole wings. They contain skin, bones, connective tissue, and relatively small amounts of meat, and are used as a poultry portion in cooked dishes.
Their flavour is savoury. Texture can range from crisp-skinned with juicy meat to tender and yielding after longer cooking, depending on whether they are baked, fried, grilled, roasted, or braised and whether a coating, spice rub, or sauce is used.
Wings are sold fresh, chilled, frozen, whole, or separated into portions. Raw wings may have pale, smooth skin; dry or high-heat cooking browns and crisps the exterior, while braising softens the skin and connective tissue.

Reference example for the named food and preparation, per 100 g edible portion. This is not a universal value for every recipe or brand; packaged products should be compared with their own label. © Food Standards Australia New Zealand. AFCD Release 3, food F002852. Available carbohydrate excludes sugar alcohols; energy converted from kJ to kcal (÷4.184). Australian data may not be appropriate for use in other countries. There are limitations associated with food composition databases. Food composition data used in the database or databases may represent an average of the nutrient content of a particular sample of foods and ingredients, determined at a particular time. The nutrient composition of foods and ingredients can vary substantially between batches and brands because of a number of factors, including changes in season, processing practices and ingredient source, and methods of calculation.

Portions & preparation
Specify wing section, skin-on or skinless status, and whether bones are included in the purchased portion. Baking, frying, grilling, and saucing change moisture, retained fat, and edible yield. References should distinguish plain wings from breaded, glazed, marinated, or seasoned preparations and account for discarded bones.
Compare the right form: Match references to chicken wing section and edible skin status, with bone, raw or cooked state, coating, and sauce specified separately.
Diet considerations
Chicken wings are animal-derived poultry. Plain wings differ from versions coated in flour or starch, fried in added fat, glazed with sweet ingredients, or served with dairy-based sauces. Portion-dependent carbohydrate patterns arise mainly from coatings, glazes, and accompaniments. Recipe and serving details determine dietary compatibility more than the cut alone.
