Wings

[mbelue]

Wings are about the skin, not the meat. If I wanted a lot of chicken meat I'd eat a chicken breast. If I want a lot of chicken flavor than I eat the wings, or the thighs.

Interesting. I do like skin.

Still not worth it.

I thought this would be about the sitcom from the 90's, which I enjoyed.
I am disappointed.

I knew SOMEONE watched that show!

We were big fans of that show. I personally was a big fan of Helen, she was a cutie!

Crystal Bernard is also a singer/songwriter.

As an old Scots friend used to say: "bloody both, mate!"

"Wings - drums or flats?"

Yes.

Also, yes, "boneless" wings are a crime against nature.

I did not know that. I'll have to look her up.

“Flats” by a lonshot. Too much gristle in the drum and not as tender, often overcooked. I eat them but if there was a “no drum” option, I’d go for that. The flat could be overcooked to the point of being jerky, and I’d still find it delicious.

If you have Hulu, you can watch old episodes.
My wife and I really liked it too. We watch one now and then. Still funny.

Drums are easier, but flats just have the best tasting meat. I stick the entire flat in my mouth, break it up, sort it, and spit out the bones.

I'll take either, I like that the drums tend to have a bit more meat on them, but I kinda like the process of eating the flats.

Also, a place I used to work at used to smoke them and then fried then just to heat them up and get them crispy. Best dang wings I've ever had - and it wasn't just me, they won local awards. Can't say I've seen another place do them the same way, but I'm sure it's not unique.

There's a place here that does the smoke 'em/fry 'em method, and they are excellent.

And, for clarification, I PREFER flats, but will eat either. I split the flats apart, then eat the chicken of each bone independently. Usually, I leave nothing behind but bone and a bit of gristle. Wings is gud.

Drums. No blue cheese sauce with it

A lot of places offer drum only wing orders for extra money. I'd pay for just flats.

Flats, carrots, and fire the drummer.

I think drums if they're grilled, flats if they're fried.
