Chicken wings are a popular dish consisting of the wing sections of a chicken, typically deep-fried or baked until crispy. They are often served as a snack or appetizer, and can be found in various cuisines around the world. The term "chicken wing" can refer to the entire wing section, including the drumette and the flat, or specifically to the flat portion of the wing.

The popularity of chicken wings can be attributed to their versatility and the variety of flavors they can be prepared with. They are commonly seasoned with a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and can be coated in a variety of sauces, such as barbecue, buffalo, or honey mustard. Some variations include breaded and baked chicken wings, which are coated in a mixture of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs before being baked in the oven.

Chicken wings are also a popular sport, with many people participating in wing-eating contests. The most famous of these is the Nathan's Famous International Wing Eating Contest, held annually in Cincinnati, Ohio. The contest features competitors who attempt to eat as many chicken wings as possible within a set time frame.
