Temping a wing

Chicken Wing Doneness Temp

ByMartin Earl Reading Time: 1 minute

You fried your wings at 350°F (177°C) so they’re nice and crispy, but are they done?

For wings that are fully cooked, safe, and also juicy without being rubbery or chewy, you have to cook them til most of the collagen in the darkish meat turns into gelatin. That means cooking your wings to an internal temperature of 175°F (79°C).
