DC Tom Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 What about the metacarpals? That makes 6 distinct parts. I suppose only 4 usuable. Did you leave the tip on? I suppose one can eat it... Not very much meat. Metacarpals are typically removed for buffalo wings - at least where I worked. The reason I know I was indirectly responsible for 200k chickens was that we spent a slow afternoon one day figuring it out. Yes, we actually studied the chicken wing, and our first order of study was: figuring out how many wings you got from a chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Her original ??? was how many Buffalo Wings/bird. The answer is 4. Don't be trying to school me about no wings. This is the part you quoted: "Good info....so how many chickens are used to make a dozen to eat at your famous Danny's?" Class dismissed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is a terminology question. All chickens have 2 wings but each chicken will produce 4 chicken wing pieces. So it takes 3 birds to make a serving of a dozen wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I responded to her "good info" which was a response to EII telling her that you got 6 wings/bird. That wasn't good info...that were bupkiss info. NOW class is dismissed.

thebug Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The question was pretty specific: how many buffalo wings are in one chicken? Well, that would depend on how many that chicken ate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is a terminology question. All chickens have 2 wings but each chicken will produce 4 chicken wing pieces. So it takes 3 birds to make a serving of a dozen wings. Then you get those places that a serving is not a dozen but 10 chicken pieces. So that would be 2.5 chickens per serving.

You have to consider, though, that roughly 40% of all chicken wings are discarded before they're fried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You have to consider, though, that roughly 40% of all chicken wings are discarded before they're fried... So if I got the math correct, for a serving of a dozen wing pieces, would actually take 4.2 chickens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I put myself through grad school making the damned things. Conservatively, I'm indirectly responsible for the deaths of about a 200,000 chickens. Maybe they only amputated the wings and let the poor things live their lives. You may now rrest easier and get a good nights sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 are these Japanese chickens? What.....is it too soon? A local radio station here in the DFW area was wondering Sunday morning how many buffalo wings are in one chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
