Chic Fil A marinates their chicken breasts in pickle juice.      Now that is something you know 

 

Nolan Ryan used to soak his pitching fingers in pickle juice.

 

This probably explains why I've never eaten a Chik-Fil-A sandwich that had blisters on it.

that's where all the flavor is.  That and the polynesian sauce.

A couple sitting next to me loudly asked why anyone would eat like that in public.  Point is, eat wings like no one is watching. 

They were no doubt eating Snickers bars with knives and forks.

 

"What is wrong with you people?!"

Both.  Crispy and hot.  I used to be a drum guy until I learned how to eat a flat.  The key is to grasp it by the ends and twist it back and forth until one of the bones breaks free. Remove that (easily) and it’ll come clean off the other bone. Chunky Bleu cheese and celery are a must.

We always call them flats and bats... like a mini baseball bat I suppose.  I like both as long as they are done right. Down here in Florida a lot of places serve them swimming in "sauce"... yow.

 

Marie's chunky bleu cheese finishes it off if I make them at home, don't care really if I have celery with them, if so fine... if not fine.

Not a huge fan of the flat/wingette section because it's more work to get the meat out from in between the bones.  Drumettes all the way!

 

All you do is split the bones, pull the loose one out and you have meat falling off the remaining bone. If you know how to eat one it’s actually less effort than a drum

I used to work with a guy who always said “hey, if you’re looking for a way to avoid work and do things the easy way, I’m the guy to see”.  He was annoying in certain ways, but every year he cranked out about 20% more than the average bear. I bet he knows all the tricks to eating wings too.

I've never had a problem eating a drumette and I don't have to do anything more than just hold it.

Something new that I've tried is the double fry. Fry them low for a few minutes, then take them out and let them sit for about 10mins in the basket. Crank the heat and fry'em HOT for 5 mins. 

 

Ever try the fry and grill method?  That's my personal favorite.
