For buffalo wings (drummette and wing flat separated) 10-12 pieces are in a per pound.For whole wings (drum, wing, and wing tip intact) 4-5 pieces are in a pound.
The first question we ask when planning a party is what type of wings the host would like to serve. At the grocery store, you will have your choice of whole wings or buffalo wings.
Whole wings are usually sold raw in the poultry section of grocery stores or frozen in large bags in the freezer section. A whole wing is the true wing from the chicken without the butcher breaking it down into pieces.
Buffalo wings are made by separating the wing from the drumette and snipping off the wing tip. Once separated, both wings and drumettes are cooked and served as buffalo wings.
