How To Cut Whole Chicken Wings and Wing Recipes
Cutting your own Whole Chicken Wings is easy and simple tasks.
You can make many more wings much more inexpensive than buying them cut up already.
Buy whole wings, see how easy in the video they are to cut up, then fry and make the best hot wings or just the best Southern fried wings you've ever had!

You can also grill, smoke or bake them!
Whichever way you cook them, homemade wings are 100 times better than any restaurant can make.
These are so easy to do, you will wonder why you spent all that extra money.
Just watch the video and voila, easy peasy.
Now let's make some great wings together, scroll down for the recipe I use also.
Chicken wings are a very popular meal or appetizer.
Over the years they became much more expensive to order out as they gained their popularity.
Chicken wings are an excellent meal to serve even in stews.
Chicken has a reputation as a food safety nightmare.
After all, raw chicken carries the salmonella bacteria, which is responsible for more cases of food poisoning than any other pathogen.
Handling raw chicken can be very concerning.
Wearing plastic gloves can help those who don't like touching raw meats.
Keep in mind you don't want to cross contaminate and always use the same knife.
This process can take a few minutes, so leave the chicken in a plastic bag and set it on top of a bowl of ice to prevent any bacteria from forming by keeping it cold and a steady temperature.
Whether you bake, fry, air fryer, broil or grill, Chicken Wings are a delicious appetizer or meal.
You can buy chicken wings cut up and ready to cook at the grocery store, you will save lots of money cutting them and making them yourself.
Through the years, I have made many chicken wing dishes.
Actually, my popular blog post of all time is my 24 Chicken Wings Recipes and 18 Chicken Wing Dipping Sauce recipes.
Those two posts have all the wing recipes, you will ever need.
The wings dipping sauces are easy to make and there are so many recipes, it's hard to choose.
My family still a lover of traditional ole hot sauce with fried wings.
There will be links to other Chicken Wing recipes, like batter dipped chicken wings and even baked chicken wings at the end of this post below.
After learning how to cut your wings, they're ready for your favorite recipes.
I used a delicious seasoned homemade flour mix, written in the recipe card below.
My easy recipe for seasoned flour is the perfect coating for a plain fried wing.
Just heat the oil, wet the wings with plain water or add to the buttermilk bath as shown, shake in flour and fry away!
Pour your favorite sauce over them or leave them plain, either way, they are delicious.
Easy to make, economical, and everyone will rave your wings are the best.
This recipe fed 3 grown adults, I had 20 whole wings and split them making 20 drumettes and 20 wingettes.
Of course, this recipe may feed more than that, but these wings are truly addicting and you can't just eat a few.
After they are fried, I immediately pour the sauce over them, then mix it with a spoon to coat evenly.
Of course, if you are lucky enough to have a deep fryer, your wings will cook faster.
I use a regular large chicken fry pan and they come out perfectly crisp and browned, just takes a little longer.
I usually fry them on medium heat in my deep fryer.
I also have used my air fryer for the wings, which is a healthier alternative.
Since I don't make them very often, the family still prefers them fried in oil.
The best way to keep that coating on and crispy is to marinade the wings in buttermilk.
You can even add a little salt, garlic powder and black pepper for extra seasoning flavors.
The seasoning can be mild or hot, you can adjust how much to add.
If you really love the heat, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture and then also in the buttermilk bath.
Cutting these whole wings are so easy!
The Wingette has a tip to cut off. I leave them on, which is a preference.
Cutting them off leaves a wingette with no tips.
I will show you how easy to cut a whole wing in half, you decide to take off the tips, I just like how they look with them on.
When you stretch the whole chicken wing out, you will notice 3 parts.
There is the wing tip ( also referred to as the flapper) the middle part of the wing is called the wingette and the meatiest part of the wing is called the drumette ( I love the drumettes!).
Easy as can be!
Remember there are really 3 parts, tip, wingette, drumette.
Stretch out the whole wing on your cutting board and flip the wing over so that the inside wing portion faces up.
You can then cut off the wing tips ( save them for soup or leave them on) then look for the bony part that joins them, I like leaving them on they look nice to me and that's just me.
As I have said in many articles, I do not waste anything.
These wingtips make great chicken broth.
I have a steaming basket, put them into the basket with carrots and celery then boil until I get a nice rich broth, seasoned to taste!
Just clip off those tips with scissors if you don't want them.
Easy to do, just another step.
Then fry away!
I never waste anything.
The wing tips will make a delicious broth, boil them and save the broth for later and freeze it!
You rarely see the tips left on in a restaurant, so cut them off if you don't like them reuse them for the best chicken soup.
Freeze them for later.
They are sometimes left on just for presentation and style.
My video will show the easy step to cut the wings and some good tips.
Open the wing up and it will easily move to see that shiny white bone and cut in that spot.
You will have a clean cut, sometimes you have to reposition the knife to find that clean cut center

If you like smoked wings, season them with a blend of barbecue seasonings or leave plain, put in the smoker to the instructions, when cooked add barbecue sauce to them.
For crispy smoked wings, I broil them until the skin gets crispy after smoking.
Frying on top of the stove in a chicken fryer or cast iron skillet, just add three inches of oil, dip in the buttermilk, dredge in the seasonings and fry.
Deep fryer, I put mine on 400 degrees and spray the basket, then add the coated wings and fry until crispy.
If you decide to do this outside on your grill, place them on sprayed foil and keep turning them until they are browned and cooked all the way through, I usually spray the coated wings generously with cooking oil.
