Flats are preferred.

 

[Faiz]

dunno, drums can often be called chicken legs here

Yeah but in context...

Wing drum = drumette

Leg drum = drumsticks

Which would have been the basis for the theoretical joke that he has now confirmed he wasn't making.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Flats all the way, especially when it comes to cheap pre-made bags at the grocery store. Drummies are just too fatty and have too much cartilage.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Flats well-done.

CURSE YOU WINGSTOP FOR DISCONTINUING YOUR BEST FLAVOR (piripiri)

 

[Greenymac]

The flats is where it's at....the real question here is naked or floured/breaded..

 

[Supha_Volt]

Both are great, but I do have a preference for flats.

 

[cwmartin]

Wait, what? Have you ever seen a chicken leg? Calling a wing drum a chicken leg is crazy. They are different parts of the chicken...

 

[cirrhosis]

Wings are the worst part of the chicken

 

[MazeHaze]

I like em all, but the best way is to get a bunch of legs from the store and slather them in your favorite sauce or dry rub.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

boneless

Absolutely fucking not. Those aren't wings. That's just a ball of chicken meat.

I don't have a preference for type though. Wings, drums, whatever.

Flats have more tender and juicier meat.

 

[Grakl]

Y'all don't eat the cartilage?

A good flat > a good drum tho

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Drums, but both are wonderful

 

[ColonialHawk]

I like both but if i were given a choice between a basked of just drums or a basket of just flats, I'd choose flats.

 

[Snowybreak]

Flats. The meat tends to be tastier, as well you get all that surface area for sauce or rub.

Damn... Now I really want some hot honey mustard wings.

 

[dafortune]

I prefer wings. Just give them to me so I can put them in my face hole.

 

[alternade]

Flats.

Only Trump supporters prefer Drums

If you want crunchy wings without frying them, after marinating them (if you choose to do that) coat them in butter, season them well, then pop them in an oven for 50 minutes at 425 on mid to top rack. (oven temps can vary) To get even crisp on both sides, elevate the wings on a rack with a pan beneath it to catch drippings. If you make mashed potatoes or rice or anything as a side, use the drippings in it.

If you're on a diet please ignore.

Just to add to this - this simple recipe works really well for "oven frying". Just have to do some prep a day in advance.

Flats.

Drums have a problem where they dry out faster.

 

[jyoung188]

All of thee above.

Cartilage is my favorite part.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Don't cut em

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Drums.

And boneless doesn't compare. Is it easier to ingest? Yes. It's just a flavored chicken nugget. But the way the skin on the drums gets fried, crisps, and provides flavor is unmatchable.

 

[Pesmerga00]

Both. I usually alternate between each piece as I eat.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Flats. They're like little chicken thighs with the perfect ratio of meat to skin to bone.

Drums are like eating gristle.

Thankfully some companies are now starting to sell just the flats, though you pay more for the superior choice.

 

[CDiggity]

Drums are for eating, flats are for making really good chicken stock.

 

[kewlmyc]

Boneless>Drums>Flats

I'm not really that picky though. I'll eat them all.

 

[Stat Flow]

Flats are superior in every way.

 

[Panthalassic]

Most people here prefer drums, but I really like flats more. More evenly cooked, easier to eat, way less gristle.

 

[Snaku]

Boneless aren't wings. Get out.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Flat wingers

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Flats.

Drums always have that little nub of rubber at the end and they seem more prone to having all those big blue and red veins and what not in them.

Even if they didn't, flats are just easier to eat. You can even do that one handed "picked clean" maneuver. Flats all day.

I would normally say boneless but for a while now it seems that boneless make my day-after-wings ass burn way worse. Must be the breading.

 

[Viewt]

Both have their advantages. In terms of the quality of the meat, it's flats. The extra bone in there gives it a juicier taste, no question. But drums usually have a little char on them to add a satisfying crunch, and if you've never been properly taught to eat flats, drums are easier to work through.

Both are great, though. Really, wings in general are great.

EDIT: Also, boneless wings aren't wings - they're tenders. Which is fine - I like tenders. But they're not wings.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Depends on my mood. Most time drums. But the flats have more skin, mmmmmm

And boneless wings aren't wings, come on guys,

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Flats forever.

I detest drums.

Same with my girl. Its a problem. We leave over half of them.

GIVE THEM TO MEEEE

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Isn't there some secret flat-wing eating 'twist' maneuver or something I'm forgetting?

 

[Peanut Butter]

I prefer flats, but I won't get mad at a drum.

 

[Clockwork]

Both.

I used to be a boneless wings only kind of person, but I learned the error of my ways.

This is my favorite place to get wings:

I either like to get the garlic parmesan or spicy bacon bbq sauces.

 

[Waddle Dee]

Whatever's on the table. You can't go wrong with wings!

 

[Jules]

Flats all the way!

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

flats most def.

 

[badrang]

flats>drums>boneless

Boneless wings are ass, these bullshit peddlers just found a way to sell me a more expensive chicken nuggie.

The flats is where it's at....the real question here is naked or floured/breaded..

naked

 

[III-V]

Don't care, I love all types, breaded, no breading, sauced,, no sauced, whatever.

 

[gamz]

This. Naked.

 

[tanooki27]

flats forever. less dry

 

[Stinkles]

Don't care, I love all types, breaded, no breading, sauced,, no sauced, whatever.

Asian wings are better breaded. Buffalo, sauced. Obviously. I can mess with dry.

 

[____]

Flats.

Every time.

Wings are the worst part of the chicken

Get out and don’t let me catch you here again. You will be dealt with swiftly you heathen.
