Chicken wings
Description
Chicken wings are small pieces of meat with thin skin and a light layer of fat, featuring a juicy, slightly sweet flavor with a distinct poultry note; after baking or frying, the skin becomes crispy, and the meat tender and aromatic, often enhanced by intense glazes or marinades. In the kitchen, they are suitable for grilling, baking, frying, and braising, pairing well with BBQ sauces, buffalo sauces, Asian sweet and spicy glazes, as well as spices and herbs; they work great as a snack, main dish, or as part of a party buffet. Nutritionally, wings are a good source of protein and B vitamins (niacin, B6) and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium; they also contain fat, especially in the skin, which increases calorie content and the proportion of saturated fats, so it's worth monitoring the cooking method. Store them in the refrigerator for 1–2 days in a sealed container or freeze for about 4–6 months; thaw in the refrigerator, avoid cross-contamination, and always cook thoroughly before serving.
