Chicken wings can be fried, grilled, smoked and baked and tossed in an infinite number of sauces, rubs and glazes, but at the end of the day, all wings can be boiled down into two categories: Drums and flats.
Drums, or drumettes, resemble small chicken legs, with a single, main bone running through the middle.
Flats, or wingettes, get their name because they're, well, flat. They have two smaller bones that run the length of the wing. They generally have less meat per wing than the drum, but have a higher skin-to-meat ratio, so each bite is packed with crispy skin and tasty sauce.
Which one do you prefer?
