drumettes
Mini drumstick pieces
Drumettes are the thick upper section of a chicken wing, shaped like a miniature drumstick.
The meat surrounds a single bone, making them easier to eat than the flatter, two-boned wing section.
They're typically served fried or baked with sauce alongside traditional wings: The platter came with a mix of drumettes and flats.
