About Wings

Wings are a popular dish typically made from chicken, featuring the drumette and flat portions of the wing. Originating from American cuisine, particularly Buffalo, New York, wings are often fried or baked and coated in a variety of flavorful sauces ranging from spicy buffalo to sweet barbecue. Nutritionally, wings provide protein and essential vitamins like B6 and B12, as well as minerals including phosphorus and selenium. However, their health aspects depend on preparation; fried wings are higher in calories and fat, while baked or grilled wings offer lighter alternatives. Sauces can also add significant sodium and sugar content, making portion control key for maintaining balance. Paired with vegetable sides and consumed in moderation, wings can be part of a well-rounded meal.
