Wings and Thighs Together

I've done 'em individually but never together.
The family wanted hot wings and a friend just stopped by with some.regular skin on thighs.
The spice prep is done but I need to know if they should go on at the same time or separate.
Raised direct or indirect or level indirect?
Temp and Time????
Thanks to anyone with a quick answer.

    Same time is fine IMO if you have room.  For the set up I would go raised direct or raised indirect.  Either work fine.  Raised indirect will give you a crisp skin but takes a little longer; but the advantage is no flipping.  Raised direct will also give you crisp skin and a little more char, but you need to flip and move things around a bit.

    Raised indirect: 375-400, about 1 hour until internal temp is around 180. 
    Raised direct, will probably be 30-45 minutes same egg temp.


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    put the wings more toward the center indirect, theres more heat towards the outside circumference and especially in back near the hinge, start the thighs there

    Thanks to all.
    Some brats also got added to the mix but amazingly everything turn out OK. I pulled the brats and wings after a couple of hours, then slathered some sauce on the thighs and left 'em on for another half hour.
    The family liked all so it was a good day.
