- 12 whole chicken wings (3 section, entire wing)
Cutting Board
Kitchen Knife
Remove the chicken from the store package and set out onto the cutting board.Open one chicken wing up and locate the thin pointy end of the chicken wing. We will remove this part. Move the wing at the joint. Feel for the bump in the joint.Using a sharp knife, cut the joint just above (towards the largest end) that bump. If you are unsure where to cut, move the joint backwards until you hear a 'pop'. This will loosen the joint sufficiently so that your knife will glide directly through the correct place in the joint.Repeat this same procedure for the middle joint. Locate the bump. Cut just beside the bump towards the largest end of the wing. If unable to locate, move the joint backwards until you hear a pop, then wiggle the joint again and use a knife to cut directly through the loosened place.
- Tip 1: Dry the wings well before attempting. The wings are slippery, and you don't want to slip while cutting.
- Tip 2: Make sure that you have a very sharp knife. A heavier knife works best.
- Tip 3: Cut at an angle to help guide the knife through the joint.
- Tip 4: If you are new to cutting chicken wings, move the joint backwards until it pops first and then cut.
- Tip 5: Don't try to give the wing a whack with the knife. You will miss the spot.
