Super Bowl is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to get your chicken wing eating skills down pat. In case you didn’t know, the internet thinks there’s a right way and a not-so-right way to eat chicken wings.

In our opinion, if you get it in your mouth you’re doing it right. But follow these techniques below, and you can avoid looking like a giant mess.

You've got options now. Go eat some wings -- without the mess.
