Poultry
Drumette
The drumette is the first wing segment—meaty, drumstick-shaped, ideal for frying, smoking, and buffalo-style tossing. More meat per piece than flats for many eaters. Season or batter, cook until the meat pulls slightly from the bone, and sauce if desired. Perfect party food. Bake on a rack for crispness without deep fat. Do not undercook near the joint. Serve hot; wings wait poorly.
