Fresh chicken wings are one of the most versatile cuts in the fridge, equally at home in a spicy fry-up, a sticky oven bake, or simmered into a rich stock base for soups and curries. Made up of the drumette, flat, and tip, each part behaves a little differently under heat, the drumette cooking like a mini drumstick while the flat's thin layer of skin crisps up especially well in a hot oven or fryer. This pack of 5 to 6 pieces is a good size for a couple of people as a snack, or as one part of a larger spread when you're cooking for a family gathering. For the crispiest results, pat the wings completely dry before seasoning and cook them at a high temperature, whether that's deep-frying, a hot oven, or an air-fryer, since excess surface moisture is the main thing standing between soggy and crackling skin. They also braise beautifully in a curry or adobo-style sauce if you'd rather go the low-and-slow route.

When choosing wings, look for plump, evenly sized pieces with smooth, unbroken skin and no strong odour. Keep them refrigerated and cook within a day or two for best flavour, or freeze promptly if not using right away.
