Tag: Wingette

According to the USDA, an average uncooked whole chicken wing weighs around 3.5 ounces, but this figure doesn't account for the different parts. The weight of a chicken wing flat, or wingette, can vary significantly from the whole wing, impacting your recipe's serving size and cooking time.

The average raw chicken wing weighs about 3.17 ounces, but when it is butchered into flats and drumettes, the weight changes significantly. A single chicken wing flat, also known as a wingette, typically weighs approximately 1.5 ounces (42-43 grams) when raw, though this can vary based on the size of the bird and preparation. Factors like cooking method and whether the chicken was injected with a brine also affect the final weight, with cooked wings often weighing less due to moisture loss.

According to Healthline, a single, skinless, boneless chicken wing contains about 43 calories, while one with skin on increases to 86 calories. However, the total calorie count changes dramatically based on how it's prepared, the additions, and whether you eat the skin.
