Flats! Perfect ratio of skin to hold flavor and no fighting with the knuckle. More scoopable, too

Flats are the best! I will eat the drumettes but just because it makes the flats even better! I have to add that I rarely order wings out because I like mine browned in butter and my sauce cooked in and crisped up especially the hot sauce! YUMMMMMMMMMM!

Must I pick one??? Actually I'm more Team Drumstick and Thigh. More meat and skin and much more forgiving. Dang my sister's sticky wing sauce on drumsticks sounds really, really good right now.

I’m not a fan of either… Too much work because I’m one of those who picks the meat out and doesn’t eat the skin.

🙋‍♀️ Drummie girl here! Il eat the flats after, but if we’re sharing a plate, I call the drummies . And It would be today that I learned they are called flats. And tips do matter…I use them to stir up the blue cheese sauce….it gets a bit of the spices from the wings mixed in the sauce.

I tend to like the flats a little better, but when I hear chicken wings my mouth starts watering. As far as I’m concerned, you can throw out the rest of the chicken and just keep the wings!

Chicken wings! I'm diving right in . . .

Both, alternating from one to the other. Different textures, requiring different techniques to get a bite. Variety is always good.

When did cutting a WHOLE wing in half become 2 whole pieces?!?!?!?

They're boys and girls not flats and drummies, and you have to alternate eating them so everyone gets equal amounts. :)

I like a mix of both, but if it were my proverbial last meal, I’d ask for all flats.

For the sake of saving the planet, I'm an equal opportunity wing parts eater...Thus I start with the 'Flats' using the split-bone pull apart technique which allows for the 1-bite strip-the-flat meat. Followed by the 'Drummies' lolliepop-style gnaw. Both tasty & fun, yet in different ways... that's one of the beauty of wings...

Flats all the way

Flats. I pride myself on my caveman approach of inserting the whole thing in my mouth and pulling out two clean bones. Distinguished af
