When preparing chicken wings, expert Tini Younger suggests popping the joint out before cutting. This technique allows for clean cuts and avoids hitting bones, resulting in better presentation. Younger emphasizes listening to the chicken for guidance: once you hear a pop, that's the cue to slice. Flexing the joint helps locate the separation point, making it easier to cut through. This method simplifies the process, especially for those intimidated by cutting raw chicken, ensuring deliciously prepared wings.
So, what I like to do is I'll take the wing, the wing bone or wing, and I'll kind of like pop the joint out. Once you hear a pop, and then it moves like a joint, so you just slice right in the middle.
Popping the joint out first ensures that you have a nice, clean spot to cut through without hitting the bone. It also makes for a more presentable result, especially if you're serving them to guests.
