wingette
Flat chicken piece
A wingette is the flat middle section of a chicken wing, containing two parallel bones with meat between them.
It's distinguished from the drumette (the meatier upper portion) and the wing tip.
Buffalo wing restaurants often let customers choose between wingettes and drumettes: I prefer wingettes—more crispy skin per bite.
