A poultry wing cutter is configured to receive poultry carcasses breast first, align the carcasses, and stretch the wings of the carcasses away from the body until the shoulder joints dislocate and separate. In the process, a portion of the breast meat is pulled outwardly with the wings and a pair of rotary knives slices off the wings. The blades begin their cuts part way into the breast meat of the bird so that a piece of breast meat remains attached to the severed wings to form a "new style" or "silver dollar" or "fast food style" wing depending upon how the wing cutter is adjusted. Feeding the birds breast first through the wing cutter results in wings with a consistent cut and weight from wing-to-wing, which is desired by consumers. Thus, the resulting wings are more in demand and therefore more valuable. |
