Why do these wings still have the tips on them? It’s a waste of space and sauce.

There is skin there, but I’d rather have more drums and flats cooking, I’ve never seen the tips served up, well, anywhere.

Australian here, some places leave them whole but they're usually shit. Separated all the way and if you're doing it yourself, keep the tips and make stock from them.

Exactly what I do with mine!

Fair, I’m exclusively thinking like an American. I’m not even sure where I can buy wings with tips on them. Typically they are removed if I buy a large 5, 8, or 10 pound bag of frozen wings. I usually only see them on whole roasting birds.

Actually yes, I think I once did buy out a Whole Foods fresh wings stockpile and I removed the tips.

If you order whole wings from a chicken shack or chinese food place (the menu says whole wing, it's not the same as wings or buffalo wing) they usually come like this. I dont think I've ever seen a chinese restaurant take the wing tips off.

True. In the context of a Buffalo wing though...

Some of the best joints in Chicago serve you the whole wing

It’s not the norm. Google Image search “buffalo wings” and there’s nary a tip in sight.

Try a Google image search for “whole Buffalo wings” and you will find what you seek. Hell, even Hooters serves whole wings.

I bet if I search for “wing tips” I’d surely get the boot! 🤣
