Flats or Drums?

[MuleyFever]

Both.... Why split up peanut butter & jelly, Tom & Jerry, Mac & Cheese, Haul & Oates????

If you ask with or without blue cheese, I'm reporting it to the mods!

Yeah, those weirdos that put blue cheese on perfectly good wings should be banned.

It never occured to me that there was even a debate because the drums are so much better.

I am guessing the drums voters put the meat in their mouth the long way to suck the sauce off first? I don't know though I mean this is all speculation on my part. Flats it is.

Amazing

I’m with you. Funny that all the drum guys thought it was obvious and the majority likes flats

It is both. It's not either works, it's that both make a plate of hot wings, hot wings. You can't have one without the other.

And can people stop undercooking wings? They aren't done at 165

Flats

 

[HairyScandinavian]

I'll eat either but gopher flats first. When I grill for company I only cut the tips off and leave the flats and drums connected so people all don't just raid the flats. I get some funny looks.

I cook mine to 200.

And I agree nothing worse than barely cooked wings.

The choice is obvious. I do wings a lot. They've got to be crispy, and well-sauced......we like them spicy. I buy the large packages of wings and cut them myself. Then my daughter and I fight over the flats, and we give the drums to my wife as leftovers. Now that my daughter is in college, I get all the flats.

The drums remind me too much of the legs, and I won't eat chicken or turkey legs. Thighs have always been my favorites. I remember the days where I could get the 5 piece meal from KFC (all thighs) for under $5. And the thighs were 2-3 times the size of the baby bird thighs they're using these days.

I wouldn't eat a chicken wing by choice, ever.

So, all you flats fanatics - whats your reasoning? Taste? Diet friendly (no meat)?
You like sucking meat off the bone rather than eating normally like a full sized drum stick?

 

[menhaden_man]

Drumsticks and thighs are a lot cheaper too

 

[Muleychaser22]

Drums. Now only 9 more posts to use classifieds.

Drums more meat

 

[Agross]

The only people I know that prefer flats are women and children, and apparently some rs’ers. I guess u guys like sliding that meat bone into and out of yer mouth. I prefer to just eat the chicken like a chicken leg, More meat.

That being said, we rarely have wings at home, Too expensive. Legs and thighs have a lot more meat and are cheaper.

 

[MuleyFever]

Drums. I didn't even know the other part had a name.

 

[Phaseolus]

Pardon my ignorance, a flat is part of a wing?

More meat on drums, less work to eat - no technique needed.

Flats are far less work if you don’t need Velcro shoes, can add/subtract or read at 1st grade level. I don’t believe common sense is a technique

Flats have more meat, drums have more bone. Drums take about 3x longer to eat and get sauce all over your face, flats are only make a mess on your fingers. Seems a lot of you have poor technique on the flats.
