"Well," says Rach, "these are not wings at all—they're legs. When we make Buffalo wings, we use all drumettes, then we use the tips for making chicken stock. Here, we use legs to make super-sized drummers with our favorite whiskey sauce." Either way, they are a real crowd-pleaser and an easy, lip-smacking choice for game day or anytime! 

For some of our best wing recipes that ARE made with wings, check out Rach's Whisky Wings on the Grill and Korean Chicken Wings from Former NY Giants Running Back Rashad Jennings.
