Party wings are part of chicken wings that have been cut into two pieces: the 'drumette' and the 'wingette' (or 'flat'). The drumette is the part of the wing that is attached to the body of the chicken and looks like a small drumstick, while the wingette is the middle part of the wing, between the drumette and the tip. The wing tips are typically discarded as they don't have a lot of meat to them.They're called 'party wings' because they are often served at parties, given their easy-to-eat size and their popularity as a finger food.
