Cook sequence from this cut sheet
Follow published Wing — teaching, not a thermometer app.
Name the cut — Confirm Wing on the sheet.
Pick doneness — Target Medium rare ~57°C.
Pair first method — Lead with Frying.
Keep safety note — Unlike breast, wings improve above the safe minimum — the collagen needs the extra heat to melt and the skin to render.
Last-vs-now is a pin — Cook-pair is a bookmark, not a certificate.
Wing: Medium rare (57°C) via Frying.

Substitute cut and safety stop
After the cook sequence for Wing, a second sheet pass: published swap cut plus the safety line already on this page.
Name the printed substitute — If Wing is missing at the counter, the sheet points to related cut Drumstick — same atlas, not inventing a new primal.
Check shared method fit — Prefer a published method that still fits the substitute; lead method on this sheet is Frying.
Hard stop on safety — Unlike breast, wings improve above the safe minimum — the collagen needs the extra heat to melt and the skin to render.
Keep cook-pair as a pin — Saving a cook-pair bookmarks this sheet; it is not a food-safety certificate.
Wing → swap toward Drumstick; stop on the printed safety line before plating.

Doneness and method on this cut
What temperature does this page recommend for this cut?
The cut sheet already prints 74°C+ (Go past done) for Wing. That is the published recommendation on this page, not a live thermometer reading.
Which cooking method fits this cut?
This sheet lists Frying · Grilling · Roasting with fitness scores. Pair one of those methods with a doneness from the published scale (Blue 46 C through Well done 77 C). The cook-pair block pins last versus now — teaching, not a diagnosis.
Can I serve this cut pink?
Follow the sheet note already on this page: Unlike breast, wings improve above the safe minimum — the collagen needs the extra heat to melt and the skin to render. Connective-tissue cuts ask for time; tender steaks ask for a rest after the published temp. The safety note at the bottom still applies.
Is the doneness scale a food-safety certificate?
No. The pair tool and the recommended temp are teaching numbers from this atlas. Use the printed sheet and your own thermometer. This page is not a medical or hygiene certificate.

Three joints with a high ratio of skin and collagen to actual meat. That is precisely the point: skin crisps, collagen turns sticky, and the bones give the sauce something to cling to. It is the cheapest part of the bird and the one entire restaurant categories are built on.

How to pick it
Dry the skin thoroughly before it meets heat. Surface moisture is the difference between crisp and leathery.
