text: dissecting a chicken wing? if you cut the flexor in a chicken wing what happens? if you cut the extensor in a chicken wing, what happens? it makes it easier to eat?  no, no, the sauce doesn't drip off as fast.   actually, its just what it sounds like assuming you mean one that is attatched to a live chicken.  if you cut the flexor, the wing cannot be flexed, if the extensor is cut, the wing cannot be extended.
