Description : The flat, also known as the wingette, is the middle section of the chicken wing — nestled between the drumette and the tip. This cut is a fan favorite among wing lovers for its perfect balance of meat, bone, and skin. Unlike the drumette, which resembles a small drumstick, the wingette has two thin parallel bones and a slightly more even distribution of meat, giving it a tender, juicy texture that crisps up beautifully when cooked.

Wingettes are ideal for grilling, frying, baking, or tossing into a wok. They’re particularly famous in the world of buffalo wings, where their shape allows for excellent sauce coverage and a satisfying crunch. Their compact size and uniform thickness make them quick to cook and easy to eat — no forks or knives needed, just pure finger-licking enjoyment.

From smoky BBQ glazes to spicy peri-peri marinades or classic garlic-parmesan rubs, wingettes absorb flavor like a sponge. They’re perfect for game nights, parties, barbecues, or even as part of a casual dinner. While they may not be the meatiest cut, the rich skin-to-meat ratio gives them that irresistible texture when crisped to perfection.

For those who love interactive, flavorful eating with a crispy finish and bold taste, chicken flats/wingettes are the ultimate go-to.
