Why? Do you prefer one over the other? Drumstick or wing? Whats your fav flavor? Do you go for the uncomfortable hot?

Honorable mentions and discussions of where you've had amazing wings, plus pictures are encouraged.

Poll.

Chicken wings are great :)

Dip me in ranch if old or inappropriate.
 
I always feel like I get more with boned wings so I go with those.

Although when Applebees does their 25 cent boneless then I can't turn that down.
 
Bone-in is the only real way to eat wings. The difference in flavor is huge, and if you've eaten wings more than a few times, it's no harder than eating chicken strips/nuggets.
 
I have only ever had good boneless wings (as they like to call them) at one place. Only reason to get them is if I don't want to use my hands.

Regular Chicken Wings for life.
 
Boneless wings are not just tendies but they're way worse than any other chicken tendies you can get.

Bone in are the only way to go
 
I used to go boneless because it was less work for my food, but I got a newfound appreciation for traditional wings in the last several months and now it's all traditional all the time.
 
boneless wings aren't wings they're chicken nuggets

Yup, it's just a marketing angle to dress up chicken nuggets with sauce on them.

The whole pleasure of chicken wings is in the skin and the fat, which are lacking in "boneless wings". Chicken skin also stays crispier longer than breading, when covered in sauce.
 
Boneless wings aren't wings, so wings win by default.

Of the two wing types, however, wingette by far. The drumette can fuck right off.

I think PC had (or has?) packages of wings with no drumettes at all, which is fantastic.
 
It's just a delivery method for sauce anyway and chicken wings are nasty and don't have enough meat to make it worthwhile. Boneless every time I have the option.


Just a bunch of savages in here. Come join us in the 21st century where we don't have to pretend chicken skin tastes good. Forks, knives, and electricity are great things people.
 
I only do chicken boneless period.

while I like chicken overall, the veins that can sometimes come out of the bone into the chicken as I eat disturb me.

out of sight out of mind :P

plus they are just easier to eat, less messy, and I know exactly how much I am eating as if things aren't done right on bones (where the meat slides right off) I end up eating a lot less of stuff :/
 
I'll take boneless on occasion, especially since it is simpler to eat, but the best ones are always traditional. A few of us made the trip up to Buffalo in August for a combo wings/Niagara Falls trip after my sister saw the recent buzzfeed article about wings, she tried out the local one (J Timothy's), and with so many on the list being close together in Buffalo. Totally worth it, these are the ones we went to (and associated pictures from the article).

This right here. More meat, more sauce, more happiness.

With bonelss, half the sauce just ends up on my fingers or face, then on a napkin. A waste. The meat gets stuck in crevices between bones that I can barely reach.

Nugget or not, boneless all day.

Now this is an exemplary reply.

Chicken wings ftw!
 
Wings are shit IMO, and I've never understood why they became so popular when you can buy thighs and drumsticks for so cheap, but there is no such thing as fucking boneless wing.
