From my experience of working at a fried chicken place for 2-3 years, in terms of popularity:
thigh>wing>=drum>>>breast
We buy extra cases of leg quarters and cut them up to keep up with the demand for thighs which means there's always an excess of drums
It's my 2nd favorite piece personally after the mini-drum on a chicken wing

I have subsisted off of almost nothing but gas station fried chicken and beer for the last 3 years.

Fried chicken is basically 1/3 each carbs, fat and protein.

really pallid anemic-looking batter compared to what I'm used to
we tend to dredge things in flour instead of a liquidy batter
southerners are descended from scottish immigrants so I think I have a say in this

For me, it's the drumstick, the best part of the chicken.
