Raw chicken wings are a versatile component in countless cuisines, particularly popular in American, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. Comprising the drumette, flat, and wingtip, they are high in protein and contain essential vitamins such as B6 and B12, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium, which support bone health and immunity. A single wing offers significant protein for muscle growth but is also moderate in fat. Though raw chicken wings are nutrient-rich, they must be handled with care to avoid harmful bacteria like Salmonella or Campylobacter. Uncooked, they should never be consumed and must be properly refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness. While healthy in their lean form, their nutritional profile changes significantly depending on preparation methods. Frying or heavily seasoning them can increase fat and sodium levels, reducing their health benefits. Generally, they serve as a flavorful base for various recipes when cooked thoroughly and incorporated thoughtfully.
