Wings - Flats or Drumsticks?

[BCoffClone]

I'm flats all the way. Like some of the other posters said, I think it's partially because I can clean the meat off the bone. I also like dipping my wings in blue cheese or ranch dressing, and I feel like flats are easier to dip. Drummies have too much cartilage, tendons, etc. that make them a little more difficult to eat.

Damn, now I'm cravings wings...

How is this possible?

Preferring flats? Or using a fork? Or both?

Chicken nuggets. Microwaved on high for 1 minute.

In a past life I was a drummies person. Now I prefer flats. Easy to twist the bones, get two separate pieces and clean them off in one shot, all meat, no tendon. And as was previously mentioned, condiment dipping is easier this way as well.

I will confess until this thread, I had never heard them called flats. I think I just called them "the other ones".

All of the above

Easily the best wings I have ever had were the Vietnamese fish sauce wings at Pok Pok in Portland, Oregon. They didn't make you choose, and just gave yout the full wing; drumette, flat and flapper. And I guarantee you will suck every single edible molecule off of them. They're that good.

Every time I pull apart a flat and clean off the bones I feel in touch with my inner animal.

When I'm in Iowa, I often have to make a trek past Ames on I-35. If I go into town, Pizza Pit wings and pizza is why. Last time I was there, it was a comforting feeling to be drinking by myself on a Sunday afternoon.

Wait you were drinking in Pizza Pit by yourself? Should have came downstairs to Welch Ave Station and ordered from upstairs and enjoyed Sunday drinking company!

They were always called flaps and drumsticks where I come from. As for the poll, drumsticks is the correct answer and it shouldn't even be a debate.

On a side note, a guy who worked at wingstop once told me that no one orders bone-in wings when bonelss are available. I thought he was nuts. Bone-in wings are much, much better. IMO.

I should have clarified - I was at Welch Ave. There just wasn't anyone in there. I don't remember what time of year it was but I'm sure it was summer, and it was early in the day.

They shouldn't even be referred to as wings, they are nuggets, not wings "boneless" or not. Bone-in 4 Life for this guy

Originally when you ordered wings you actually got a whole chicken wing. Not this flat and drummie stuff.

The Peanut in KC had full wing "wings", and they were excellent.

Pizza pit has wings????!!!!!!

I'd like Pizza Pit wings if they didn't bread them. Not really my thing.

I can't handle the boneless wing people. They are glorified chicken nuggets and should not be called "wings", IMO.

here's the deal...if cooked correctly, the drummies can be as good...but let's be honest, some people leave them too soft and fatty...they gotta be cooked until crisp.

but when there's a grip of wings near, I grab the flats.

My wife worked at 9th and Broadway until they moved buildings. I destroyed a lot of beer an wings at the Peanut waiting for her to get off work and carpool home.

I've been ordering wings from Hooties Hamburger Barn on GrubHub. They are huge and give you a choice of flaps or drumsticks. Great wings. Come to find out, they're just Hooter's wings. Hooter's is also on Grubhub. Now I've had Hooter's wings and let me tell you these are not them. Hooter's wings suck big time. They're almost like wings that you reheat a little too long in a microwave and they become hard. At least the ones I had were. I think they have new wings that they sell under the Hootie's Hamburger Barn label to generate more business, because the wings I get there are not on the Hooter's menu. Believe me, I've looked. The hamburgers they sell aren't on the Hooter's menu either. Applebee's does the same thing with a "restaurant" they call Neighborhood Wings. It just sells wings and some sides, but it comes from the same place. I thought the whole idea was odd and a little deceitful.
