Preferred Wings

[cycopath25]

Listening to The Le Batard show today and they were discussing what type of wings you prefer. (Drumlettes vs flat wings) So for fun I decided to take it to Cyclone Fanatic.

Not just flat, but boneless. None of that finagling with avoiding eating bones and chunks* and what not.

Boneless, two easy steps: 1.) select wing 2.) shove into mouth

*still possible with boneless wings too but whatever you get the idea

 

[cycloneG]

Flat all the way.

Also, boneless wings aren't wings. They're chunks of flavorless breast meat. The gauntlet has been thrown!

Boneless "Wings" are not wings. They are chicken nuggets.

 

[CycloneNorth]

Boneless wings are not wings. They're the worst part of the chicken all mashed together.

First goddamn reply. Start a chicken nugget thread.

Breaded or unbreaded, a wing should be crispy. A soggy wing is the worst.

DONE!!

Drummies. They're easier to eat. Less messy.

Boneless "wings" are for housewives and little girls.

Breast meat is excellent, don't give me that. Especially when breaded and lathered with honey barbeque sauce.

It's flavorless and lacks all the greasy goodness of wings.

Pork tenderloin is also delicious when breaded and lathered in honey barbecue sauce. That doesn't make it a wing, though.

 

[MeowingCows]

Actually, changed mine to drumlettes. The more I think about it, the more I see that flats seem to have more wasted material and are harder to work with than drums. I'd feel more comfortable getting my money's worth on drums.

That's because pigs don't have wings, silly!

Then how do they fly?

Grease is all fine and dandy until it makes the whole wing soggier than hell, then you just ruined a perfectly good chunk of poultry even worse than cutting breast into chunks and breading it.

Neither do chicken breasts.

I had the flats vs drummies discussion with a guy who tried to demonstrate that flats were better, by showing me a technique where he sort of pressed one end of the wing down on his plate, and pinch the other end between his fingers. Then, he pressed down with his hand, and all of the meat sort of sloughed off and bunch around the bottom, forming sort of a meat lollipop. He insisted that it was the absolute best way to eat wings. The only thing I could see that it was "best" at, was getting your hand incredibly greasy.

I'd give him points for ingenuity, but that amount of work and mess is definitely not worth the return.
