chicken wings: bones or boneless

[Xstatic1]

Not much of a wings fan, but I'll take boneless over bones.

As far as nuggets, love Chick-Fil-A's. :biggrin:

Can someone in this thread attempt to clarify the difference between a "boneless wing" and a chicken strip/nugget?

The local wing joint (Roosters) takes flappers and removes the bones for their boneless wings.

I've been to other places that just bread chucks of chicken and sells them as boneless "wings"

Roosters also sells breaded tenders as buffalo strips.

here's a closeup of some different chicken from the same place, 1 level below max. I had 1 level below this and I already had to be careful not to touch my eyes.

I noticed how you didn't answer my question

It strikes me that those peons arguing for boneless wings still don't realize that they aren't actually eating wing meat.

Do you guys that prefer boneless wings actually understand where that meat comes from and how it is made?

"boneless wings" are usually an amalgamation of whatever bits of chicken meat. It can be white or dark, but mostly white.

strips tend to be breast tenders, ime. nuggets = boneless wings as far as derivation.

Hooters bone-in wings are infinitely better than the boneless wings. The problem is the boneless wings with French fries are $8.99 for lunch while the bone-in are like 10.99 without fries. Usually default to boneless because I'll split the bill with the guy I go with, but always regret not getting the real wings.

I don't understand why you think people care. You're not tasting any of the meat underneath all that breading/oil/flavoring/sauce. There is a reason why wings used to be the trash meat of a chicken.

It's a sauce and fat delivery vehicle. The source of the meat is irrelevant.

This is true if you eat low quality wings. Which is not necessarily a bad thing....need to meet that low price point somehow.

I daresay that 9 spheres of hell aren't nearly enough for your sins.

I seriously got into a coughing fit while laughing at this.
God bless you.
Damn you, soda.

Not everyone drown their chicken wings in sauces. I love deep fried wings with salt and white pepper. And bone does add flavour even if it is just inside a wing.

If bones and the effort involved in eating wings weren't important, then the Chinese wouldn't eat chicken feet, or so I have been told by a few off-the-boaters that I've worked with.

The provenance of the things that I consume actually is important to me--I like to know that the wing I am eating is a wing, and not a mash of "meat" from some process that I'd rather not think about.

I do prefer buffalo style wings, but I like some versions of simple asian-style fried chicken wings as well. A deep fried whole wing as part of a fried chicken dinner is great, too. fwiw, I never understood the love of Hooters wings. I always thought they were mediocre. I always thought fans of those wings are the same people that read Playboy for the articles.

Then why are you getting rid of yours? :awe:

Chinese people eat chicken feet because meat used to be luxury so you don't waste anything. So you (deep fry then) braise it, pickle it etc etc to improve it.

Gnawing on braised duck/chicken wing/foot is what Taiwanese people do when watching baseball :biggrin:

especially during those late night (time zone) little league world championship games.

It's disgusting how expensive wings are considering how many chicken get killed each year. I think it's over 10B in USA alone. Even assuming 10% waste that is 18B whole wings...

Chicken wings are so 90's. Has anyone tried Pig Wings? Scrumptious

Charbroil?

Them be ears, not wings

boneless chicken wings doesn't even make sense.

It does if you are 5 years old or a female.

Uhh... wut? That wouldn't help at all. Still full of cartilage and ligaments that make it just as difficult to eat.
