WhoTom Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I eat both, but I prefer the drums. My wife might eat one or two pieces, but not enough to split an order. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I eat both. I like the drums more, but the wife doesn't like the flats. So I take the flats and sneak a few drums 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER DOT COM Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I eat both. 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I eat both but I definitely prefer the drums (nice and crispy!). I used to prefer the flats when I was a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Crispy is more important than which section of the wing it is. I prefer drums, but I'll take a crispy flat over a soggy drum any day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drums guy, wife likes flats. I'll eat both tho. I just pull one of the bones out of the flat and make it a single-boned drum. And yeah, give me crispy or give me death! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you split an order? You get your own and get a second order for her which you then get to have for yourself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I pay extra at places for all flats. Some places charge, some don’t. Dry rub, lemon pepper with ranch is the best combo. Change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I responded both, but I prefer flats. The only place near me that has decent wings will not honor requests for just flats or drums. I even told the waitress that I'd pay extra. It's all good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrap em in foil and let them just rest in the refrigerator overnight. Cook them completely wrapped in foil on the grill. Flip after a little while (time depends on the heat) It gives it this awesome char while the sauce kind of caramelizes. Delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girl (at the time) and I drove home after the Jax game in 2018 Thanksgiving weekend, and we ate cold wings in the car. I'd rather have cold, firm wings than warm, soft, soggy wings. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is true, but when cold, they aren't expected to be crisp. The meat tightens up a bit and they don't lose any flavor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER DOT COM Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Tip: If you want them crispy every time - 350 for at least 15 minutes and don't shake the wings hard in the sauce bucket. A soft shake coats them well enough without cracking the crispy skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 https://thetylt.com/culture/chicken-wings-drumsticks-flats#:~:text=Flats are far superior when,it's not even a contest.&text=Drumsticks tend to have more,ranch or extra buffalo sauce. “The flat is by far the more enjoyable wing for a few reasons. One, the meat in the middle tends to be more tender. Two, it’s actually easier for some to eat in one bite. Three, it can be deceiving but the flat has more meat on it.” -- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, only one member of our party had troubles with the service. In fact, I had such service that I barely recall! Maybe they are just picky about who they serve??? As for wings, I’m guessing @Royale with Cheese prefers his from the Magic City Club here in Atlanta....... I hear they are life changing! .
