Drummettes are the upper section of the chicken wing (humerus). It looks a lot like a drumstick (the lower leg section), only much smaller.
The entire chicken wing consists of the drummette (humerus bone), middle wing (radius & ulna bones), and the wingtip.
That is the correct spelling for "drummettes" (the leg-like part of the wings).
About 30 to 40 drummettes come in a 5-pound bag. It depends on how much each drummette weighs. A 5-pound bag of drummettes will feed about 8 to 10 people.
To estimate how many pounds of chicken drummettes will feed 150 people, a common guideline is to serve about 4-6 ounces per person. For 150 people, you would need approximately 37.5 to 56.25 pounds of chicken drummettes. Therefore, planning for around 40 to 60 pounds should ensure there is enough to satisfy everyone.
A chicken drummette is a specific part of a chicken wing, characterized by its meaty, drumstick-like shape. It consists of the first segment of the wing, containing one bone surrounded by tender meat, making it popular for frying, baking, or grilling. Often served as an appetizer or snack, drummettes are commonly featured in dishes like buffalo wings. They are typically seasoned or coated in sauces to enhance their flavor.
Chicken drummies usually refer to the little chicken wings that are shaped like chicken drumsticks, only smaller. They are typically made of chicken breast and part of the actual chicken wings.
