How Much Does One Chicken Wing Weigh?
I weighed individual chicken wings (including the skin and bone) to get an average weight per raw wing and here are the results:
The average weight of one chicken wing with the skin on and the bone in is around 90g/3.17oz. A chicken wing of this size contains 188 calories (in kcal).
Chicken wing weights vary depending on the size of the chicken they came from, a small raw chicken wing (with the skin on and bone-in) weighs around 50g/1.76oz and a large wing weighs up to around 120g/4.23oz.

How Much Meat Is On A Chicken Wing?
I did some research and weighed the meat of a chicken wing (with the skin and bone removed) to find the average amount of meat per wing and here are the results:
An average-sized chicken wing with a raw weight of 90g/3.17oz weighs around 68g/2.4oz when cooked, and with the bone removed the meat and skin weigh around 54g/1.9oz.
This means that average-sized chicken wing bones weigh around 14g/0.49oz per chicken wing and this amount can be deducted from a cooked chicken wing weight to get the edible meat weight.
It’s important to note, the amount of meat will vary depending on the size of the chicken wing, and the bigger the wing, the more meat there will be.

When Should You Weigh Chicken Wings?
As a rule, if you’re calorie counting, you should weigh chicken wings before they’re cooked because calorie information is usually based on the raw weight.
The exception to this rule is when you buy ready-cooked chicken wings because the nutritional information on the pack should be based on the cooked weight and not the raw weight.
The nutritional information on a pack of raw chicken wings is based on the whole weight, including the skin; if you only use the meat, then it might make sense to weigh the cooked meat as this is the only part you’ll be eating – see above for information on how to calculate the meat weight.
How Much Weight Do Chicken Wings Lose When Cooked?
The amount that chicken reduces in weight when it’s cooked depends on the quality of the chicken and whether it has added water.
Because chicken Wings are generally cooked with bones and skin on, they tend to retain more liquid than skinless and boneless chicken which will dry out more during the cooking process. This is because the fatty barrier which helps to retain moisture as it cooks.
As a rule, good quality free-range chicken wings with the skin left on will reduce in weight by around 25% of the original weight. For example, an average-sized raw chicken wing weighing 90g/3.17oz will weigh around 68g/2.4oz after cooking.
I did some research and put this theory into practice and the ratios do work, there might be a slight difference, but a 25% reduction is pretty close to what you can expect when you cook chicken on the bone.
The table below shows a guide to before and after cooking weights for chicken wings, along with how much cooked edible meat you can expect per wing:
Raw Chicken Wing Weight | Cooked Chicken Wing Weight | Edible Wing Meat Weight |
50g/oz (small) | 38g/1.34oz | 24g/0.85oz |
90g/oz (average) | 68g/2.4oz | 54g/1.9oz |
120g/oz (large) | 90g/3.17oz | 76g/2.68oz |
