Description

Chicken wings are a popular and tasty part of the chicken, composed of the wing tip and the middle section, characterized by their small size and juicy texture. They are highly valued in gastronomy for their versatility and ease of preparation in different styles, such as fried, roasted, barbecued, or glazed with spicy or sweet sauces.

The origin of consuming chicken wings has become especially popular in American cuisine, where they are a classic in bars and social gatherings, although their use is widespread throughout the world.

From a nutritional point of view, chicken wings provide high-quality proteins and contain fats that can vary depending on their preparation. They are a moderate source of B vitamins, especially niacin and B6, which support energy metabolism.

In different Hispanic American countries, chicken wings are also known by other names such as "alas de pollo", "alitas" or simply "alas". In some places, they may also be called "alitas de gallina", although the most common and recognized term is chicken wings.
