Compared to lots of other foods, chicken wings aren’t especially unhealthy, I think? They aren’t normally deep fried, chicken is a healthier meat than beef or pork, not sure there are good health reasons not to eat them every day? Of course it gets boring after a while.
“Healthy” in regards to foods is problematic at best. It all depends on the rest of your diet, your needs, and especially your dosage (portions and portion size).
Could a small amount of chicken wings be a great supplement? Sure, it has all sorts of useful micro and macro nutrients, if that’s what you need. Could you have a bunch without any impact to your health? Possibly, if you’re doing keto. Would your health improve if you cut them out? Also a maybe, if it doesn’t work with the rest of your lifestyle and genetics.
Example: Chicken is high in omega-6. This is bad for some people, but only some. And I bet you hadn’t considered it as a factor in whether it’s healthy.
Im sorry to say, chicken wings could quite possibly be the worst thing for you. Its the absolute fattest part of the chicken. Its really all fat. Then they are covered in sugary sauce or fatty sauce. They aren’t chicken breast, they’re the dark meat covered in skin. The dipped in delicious butter/oil rich buffalo sauce. The best things ever…

Wings are white meat though.
OK, I wasn’t thinking of the sauce, that part could be unhealthy.
Have you ever made buffalo sauce? It’s literally 50% butter and 25% honey (and its delicious)
No, I may or may not have had it at a restaurant or something, but if so, don’t remember it. It’s not a usual food where I live.
I’m only slightly ashamed to admit I had buffalo wings for breakfast with oil rich buffalo sauce this morning.
