RochesterRob Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Both and I love them cold the next day as well. The cold brings out the flavor in a lot of things such as stews as well as wings and drums. If I am at a party I will go hard after the drums. I long for the old days where as a college student I could get like a 3 lb or 50 count bucket for around 3.00 dollars. 2
BillsPride12 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 I eat both, I enjoy both but if I had to pick one my preference would be flats. 1
Not at the table Karlos Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Both but if I had to pick, flats. The little crispy flap is amazing, better skin, better meat. Flats are like a bone in ribeye and drums are like a sirloin. 1
The Dean Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Obviously both! Drums are easier to eat. Flats are more tender. Edited July 30, 2020 by The Dean
NoSaint Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Tend to prefer flats but never passed on a drum obviously hot and crispy preferred but leftovers can still be good spicier the better. Some sweating and a few tears welcome. 1

Some sweating and a few tears welcome. If you don't sweat, what's the point, really? I like it when I get the hiccups. That's when I know it's hot enough. Crispy is a must! 1
Philly McButterpants Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Prefer flats, will eat both - agree with Dean-O. Crispy is a must, the hotter the better. Locally, there is a place a called The Peanut Bar - wings are "ranked" #6 n the USA. The sauce is FOAMY!!! WTF is that?!?! They do serve them crispy, but the sauce was a real letdown. Local bar called Brewer's has the best wings around - usually crispy and their Death Sauce is tasty and quite spicy - i can order an extra to ensure full coating/finger lickin'.

Because I care about wings greatly (unlike @Royale with Cheese), I decided to investigate your foamy sauce claim......... OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!!! 1

From my experience in college when I cooked thousands of wings every weekend, an order of "just flats" was requested multiple times a day. An order of "just drums" never happened. Could be why the average order always seems to have more drums than flats.... I worked at three restaurants serving wings as a teen and each one had us bag five flats and five drums into a small ziplock type bag. They recognized the importance of balance. I enjoy both types but would prefer the drums if it were my last meal.

I think you should. Just horrible. The guy is mostly right about how to eat a flat. And I know he went slow for the demonstration. But you I just pick op the ends, twist and pull. Simple. Only ONE bone really needs to be removed (does he take out the bone in the drummette), but typically both come out. 1

Only ONE bone really needs to be removed (does he take out the bone in the drummette), but typically both come out. With flats, I hold it by one end and put the entire flat in my mouth so it lays flat on my tongue. Then I lightly clench my teeth and pull it out. Top and bottom teeth grab the most of the chicken off of both sides of the flat. Then I snap it with the twist and pull method and clean the bones off. It's the best way, IMO, to get the most meat at once. Eating it with the "little corn on the cob" method will just get little pieces of meat at a time. Eff that! My method gets most of the meat and most of the flavor with one pull! 1

This is the way. I like both but prefer drums since theres usually some loose flapping skin at the end of the drum which adds extra crunchy texture. The girl prefers flats and we always order too much so it works out perfectly. 1
Success Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 This is really equal for me. That's the beauty of a bucket of wings - you can mix it up, and get the best of both worlds. Both have wonderful attributes. If I had to live with just one or the other, it would be hard to decide.
