Chicken Wing Appropriation: The Disappearance of the Whole Wing
03/13/25 • 4 min
For decades, one of the biggest debates in the chicken wing world has been flats vs. drums—which one is better? People take sides, argue over which has the better meat-to-skin ratio, and even fight over who gets what at the dinner table.
But have you ever stopped to ask: Why are we even having this debate?
The real question isn't whether flats or drums reign supreme. It's why we aren’t getting the whole wing anymore. Somewhere along the way, the industry split the wing in two and started selling them as separate pieces—without most people even realizing it.
