Chicken wing sections are wings that have been pre-cut into smaller, ready-to-cook pieces. Instead of a whole wing, you’ll typically get:

• Drumettes: The meatier, drumstick-shaped piece.
• Flats (often called wingettes): The two-boned middle piece.
• Tips: Often trimmed off and not included.

This cut can save prep time and help pieces cook more evenly. On the page, you’ll see options in fresh trays or frozen bags in different weights, so you can choose what fits your plans. If you’re cooking soon, fresh trays may be convenient; if you’re stocking up, frozen packs can be practical. Always check the package details for cut type and weight before adding to cart.

Product labels can vary, so here’s a quick guide to what you may see:

• Whole wings: The full wing (drumette + flat + tip) intact.
• Wing sections: Pre-cut pieces, usually drumettes and flats, with tips removed.
• Drumettes: The meaty portion that looks like a mini drumstick.
• Wingettes/Flats: The flat, two-boned middle section.
• Wing tips: The thin end; sometimes included with whole wings only.

If you prefer less prep and even cooking, sections are a convenient pick. If you like to break down wings yourself or for certain recipes, whole wings can work. Check each product’s description for exactly how the wings are cut.

On this page, you’ll find both plain (unseasoned) wings and pre-seasoned options. Plain wings are available fresh or frozen if you want to use your own marinades or sauces. You’ll also see frozen varieties with dry rubs in flavors like savory, citrusy, or barbecue-inspired profiles for quick, no-mess prep.

Tips:

• Check the product title and description for phrases like “unseasoned,” “dry rub,” or “restaurant style.”
• Review the ingredients and any flavor notes to match your taste.
• Prefer to sauce your wings? Plain wings give you full control; pre-seasoned can save time when you want convenient flavor.

Proper storage helps maintain quality and safety:

• Refrigerate promptly: Keep wings cold in the original packaging or a leakproof container to prevent cross-contamination.
• Use by the date: Check any date on the package and plan to cook before then, or freeze for longer storage.
• Freeze for later: If not cooking soon, place wings in freezer-safe, airtight packaging to help protect against frost.
• Thaw in the refrigerator: Allow time for slow, even thawing. Avoid thawing at room temperature.
• Cook thoroughly: Follow package directions and use a food thermometer to confirm they’ve reached a safe internal temperature.

Clean hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling raw poultry to keep your kitchen safe.

If you’re watching added sugars, a few shopping tips can help:

• Choose plain wings: Fresh or frozen unseasoned wings let you decide on sauces and seasonings.
• Check labels: Review the Nutrition Facts and ingredients for added sugars in rubs or glazes.
• Dry rubs vs. sauces: Some sauces may include sweeteners. Dry rubs vary, so check the ingredient list to find a fit for your goals.
• Flavor later: Toss plain cooked wings with a lower-sugar sauce or simple spices at home.
• Cooking methods: Baking or air-frying can deliver crisp results without sugary glazes.
