The Instacart guide to chicken wings


About chicken wings

When you're getting ready to watch the game with friends, or you want to treat the family to a fun meal, chicken wings are the answer. Whether you want to take it easy and heat up some ready-made wings, or you'd rather whip up your own recipe, it's easy to get the ingredients you need without shopping in person. Order from your local grocery store through Instacart and save tons of time and hassle with same-day delivery!

Best known as appetizers or finger food, chicken wings are some of the most fun chicken cuts to prepare and enjoy. Chicken wing recipes often call for intense savory and spicy flavors, which help these small cuts pack a punch.

You can buy whole, fresh wings and prepare them any way you like. However, it's just as common to purchase wings that are already seasoned and sauced. All you have to do is heat them and serve some extra sauce on the side.

Chicken wing cooking tips

When you prepare chicken wings, it's always important to make sure you've cooked them to a safe temperature. When the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees, that means it's fully cooked and safe to eat. While you can typically achieve this temperature by following the directions in the recipe or on the package, you can also use a meat thermometer to double-check.

So how should you cook your chicken wings? Here are a few popular ideas:
  • Purchase heat-and-eat chicken wings to make dinner as easy as possible. Choose your favorite type of sauce — from classic Buffalo to sweet Asian — and follow the directions on the package. You can bake or air fry most heat-and-eat chicken wings.
  • Buy fresh chicken wings and follow the recipe of your choice. Classic Buffalo chicken wing recipes call for you to season and oil the wings before baking them for about an hour. Then you prepare the sauce, which includes hot sauce and honey or another sweetener. Finally, you toss the wings in the sauce, broil for a few minutes to set the flavors, and enjoy.
Don't forget the dipping sauce or the sides. Most wings go best with a cool sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing, as well as raw vegetables like celery and carrots.
