What is /r/pittsburgh 's though on the whole vs half wing thing?

I consider the half - either drum, or flat - wings "normal" wings. But I have seen a few places call that style "wing dings", indicating that true wings are both parts, connected. Usually indicated on the menu so you don't order a dozen of their wings and get effectively 24.

Well the drum and flat are part of the leg and wing respectively so they aren’t connected at all. I guess by whole wings people mean with the wing tip still attached,which is usually cut off the flat and reserved for stock since it’s barely edible.

You think the “drum” part of a wing is from the leg???

I thought they were referring to the drumstick. In which case yes that is attached to the thigh. Quartered plenty of chickens before and never bothered separating the flat from the ‘drumette’. Always just thought of them as one and the same.
