This guide will explain how to make chicken wings.

If your wings have the drum, flat and tip connected:

1. Place the chicken wing down on a cutting board.
2. Cut off the tip (the small finger type part near the end of the wing) and discard or save for stock / soup.
3. Locate the joint of between the drum and the flat by pressing your thumb into the wing until you feel the indent.
4. Chop the drum away from the flat at this point

If your wings are pre-trimmed and the flats and tips are connected:

1. Ensure that there are no stray pieces of bone or skin left from the butchering process

1. Either purchase a store bought BBQ sauce or make your own
2. Many recipe websites including Epicurious and The Food Network have "easy bbq sauce" recipes in their databases.http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--2516/easy-barbecue-sauce.asp
3. In a large bowl, combine sauce and chicken wings. Professional chicken wing chefs often hold the bowl in the air and toss the wings and sauce together. This ensures an even coat.

1. Preheat your grill to 500 F
2. Place a long piece of aluminum foil on the grill
3. Place chicken wings on the aluminum foil

This prevents the chicken wing fat from dripping down and causing a flare up. You still get all of the great BBQ taste, just without the headaches of a fire.

If you would like to bake your wings:

1. Preheat your oven to 450 F
2. Place the chicken wings on a cookie sheet that has been coated with a non-stick spray.
3. Allow to cook for approximately 45 minuets.
4. The internal temperature of chicken wings should reach 190 degrees Celsius.http://www.essortment.com/food/cookingchicken_tvth.htm If you are unsure if the wings are done, do not risk getting sick, check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
