About Chicken wedges

Chicken wedges are a savory snack or appetizer made with boneless chicken pieces coated in a seasoned breading and fried or baked until golden and crispy. Inspired by American comfort food, they blend the tenderness of chicken breast with the crunch of their outer layer for a satisfying bite. Typically, the coating includes a mix of breadcrumbs or flour, spices, and herbs, giving them a flavorful crust. Chicken wedges are a source of protein, making them more filling than many other snacks, but they can be high in fat and calories, especially when deep-fried. Opting for baked versions or pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables can balance their nutritional profile. Popular as party food or a quick meal, chicken wedges are versatile and customizable, perfect for dipping in sauces like ranch or barbecue for added flavor.
