wing joint
Where wings bend
Wing joint refers to where a wing connects to the body—in birds, the shoulder equivalent that allows flight motion; in aircraft, where wings attach to the fuselage.
In cooking, wing joint typically means the point where a chicken or turkey wing separates into sections: Bend the wing joint to find where to cut.
The term also applies to the articulation points within a wing itself.
