One or two neckbones will fill your bucket!

As the Super Bowl approaches, a chicken wing frenzy is also on the horizon. As someone who doesn’t give a flying chicken wing about football, I consider the platters of food synonymous with the Super Bowl to be its only saving grace.
But when your eyes meet that tray of wings, what do you prefer to pluck from the pile? There are the drumettes (already winning with a cute name like that), the flats, or the option to go boneless. Some people would take death over a “wing” without a bone, especially on Super Bowl Sunday, when wings are most sacred. Can’t say I relate to those people, but I respect that they choose authenticity.
My personal ranking goes like this, from best to worst: boneless, drums, and then flats. Boneless is by far the best. You get straight to what you want, you can use a fork, and you don’t end up having to discard a stack of bones with bits of meat you missed out on still stuck to them. Boneless is also your best bet at not ending up with saucy stains on your face, fingers, or clothes. Yes, I know that generally you should just accept the probability of getting messy when tucking into some saucy chicken wings, but if there’s an equally delicious option not to, I’ll take it.
The drums, or drumettes, are the next best option to boneless. They’re easy to bite right into, and if there’s enough meat on the bone, you could use a fork on them, too.

better wrap that backbone up unless you like fishing for vertebrae.
By the time it has cooked for 24 hours everything has given it's all so it goes in to the pig trough.
Where pig turns it into tasty pork chops.
(Sorry, but the very idea of meatballs combined with a grape jelly is not my idea of a snack food for the Super Bowl. 😛)
FU NFL.

better use of the backbone.
The best was cocaine and booze. I don’t remember the food or the game but it was memorable...I think.
I haven't done that since college.
Boneless wings are also known as Chicken McNuggets
Bears repeating. There is no such chicken part as Boneless Wings. It comes from the breast meat.
Flats are the tastiest.
I only liked the drums, but I don’t eat wings anymore since I avoid fried and/or breaded food.
Drums for sure. Cooking on the bone enhances flavor.
drums for sure!
Brilliant marketing has taken the least edible part of a chicken - the clutch of bones known as the wing - and elevated it to undeserved culinary respectability.
I’ll take the chicken breast first, followed by the thigh and then the drumstick. Grilled in a sweet and hot sauce, thank you.
thigh thank you.
thigh thank you.
And for you, a thigh it shall be, Sir Knight, at my next chicken barbecue.
