3.     Separate the meat from the bone by sliding a sharp knife around the tip of the bone where meat is still connected (do not cut through the bone). 

4.     Place the wing vertically on top of a flat surface while holding the part where the knife passed. 

5.     Gently push downward while gripping the bone with your thumb and index finger until the meat slides down. 

6.     Arrange the meat by inverting the inner part until a lollipop shape is formed. Note: Do the same procedure for the part with two bones. However, you need to first detach the smaller bone before commencing.
