Boneless wings are far superior to tradition wings. amirite?

They're not chicken nuggets either, they're chunks of breaded tenderloins.

Wings aren't expensive if you make them at home. Just coat with what you want (I typically do olive oil, garlic, fresh parm, lemon, red pepper flakes), and then you just coat them with corn starch for crispness. Cook at 400 for 40-45 mins. Broil em for a few if they need more crisp. Better than most wings I have at store. I made them for the presidential debate with fresh fries

Home wings are good, but a solid local spot that knows what they're doing can make wings that I can't even think of how to do, and I'm a pretty skilled cook. Whether it's flash frying or getting the sauce just right, some places work magic. Downside is, it feels like you're paying $2+/wing if you're getting good bone-in wings. Hell, even good boneless at a good spot costs close to that as well.

I don't mind a boneless wing when in a hurry, or if I don't want to get messy, but the flavor of a bone in wing is far superior. And they are far from difficult to eat... lol

You got him, boneless chicken wings are lab created and are from animals that don't exist.

They're not because it's a total different type of chicken meat. If boneless wings were actually deboned wings, sure I would good with that, but mechanically separated chicken slime + soy and a binding agent isn't wing meat!

by Shot-Trifle8345 6 months ago

We aren't talking about McDonald's nuggets here, boneless wings are just chopped up and breaded chicken tenderloins. Don't strawman.

Boneless is just a more consistent sauce-delivery system. Good traditional wings are superior... but it's a lot more work to get it right and there's way more bad wings out there than good ones. Especially these days.

Meat without any bones is less of a hassle that meat with chicken bones.

by TennisOk 6 months ago

Right, so you like nuggets and not wings. What I find particularly hilarious is how many boneless "wings" brands advertise that they made with "100% pure breast meat." If you don't like wings, that'd fine. But don't pretend that nuggets are the same as wings. This isn't an unpopular opinion; you're just wrong.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

If you remove the bone from a wing doesn't that make it a boneless wing ?( not saying that's the case normally when boneless wing are served )

by Anonymous 6 months ago

The wing is a part of the animal with skin and added flavor of being on the bone. While there can be deboned wing meat it would still not be a "chicken wing" without the other parts.

by hildegard34 6 months ago

So if I was to remove the bone and stuff the wing it's no longer a wing?

Show me a picture of a chicken wing. Then show me a picture of deboned skinless chicken wing meat. Are they the same picture? There is no argument/debate just fact and fiction.

by hildegard34 6 months ago

What's that got to do with anything? If I dice a chicken breast is it no longer a chicken breast just cause it doesn't look the same. The fact is a wing that has been deboned is still a wing. Try again.

Breast is specifically meat tissue, the wing includes the bone

by Ferrydarrell 6 months ago

That would be a proper boneless wing. But as you said, the product market as boneless wings isn't actually wings with the bones taken out.

Boneless wings (and they're not even wings) are lazy. They're one more overly-convenient, overly-processed thing for (mostly) Americans to mindlessly shovel into their mouths while their arteries harden.

Wings cooked properly are super easy to eat, the bones slide right out and then you have a boneless wing, just one that was cooked with the bone in and is actually the wing not some weird mashup of chicken and goo

Wings got popular all those years ago because they were cheap. As they got popular the demand for them increased and they aren't particularly cheap anymore. They're good but your reasons for preferring boneless wings are indisputable.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I won't argue against the obvious tactical disadvantages of standard bone-in wings. They're messier, you have to clean up the bones, etc. I think the extra work is worth it, because you're getting wing meat. Tenders are not made out of meat from the wings. Best case scenario it's breast meat, but the more processed the product is the greater the chances that you really don't know where that meat came from. Tenders have their fans, and I've been known to eat them myself, but to me this argument is basically the same as, "Burgers are better than a T-bone steak because they're easier to eat." Or, "McDonald's filet o fish is so much more convenient than dealing with a lobster." My only real gripe about the Tender side of things is when restaurants call them "boneless wings," because that's not at all what they are.

I think we can all agree that THE WORST is biting into a wing that was supposed to be boneless and finding out it's bone in.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Bone in is better for taste so they definitely are the superior choice. If you find them a hassle to eat then you just need to take the bones out before you bite, which isn't difficult to do.

I never understood the fascination with wings. I never buy them, but when I have a whole chicken, it's the part that gets eaten last.

by Kylee91 6 months ago

I have ARFID, so I eat some variation of boneless chicken 5 of the 7 days a week. I do mix it up though so it's not the same type each day. I don't have wings often because they can be very messy and I have sensory issues. But when I do have them once in a blue moon, god do I love them so damn much. I think it's because you have to eat around the bone, you have to consciously think about which parts you're eating rather than just mindlessly shoving them in your mouth. It takes quite a bit longer to eat a single wing than a similarly sized boneless chicken piece. There's longer to appreciate it, it's more of an experience. At least for me.

Bone-in wings just offer a distinct eating experience that is different from most other things. The feeling of eating them is what appeals to people and if you don't care for it there's no reason to get them.
