I'll go along with this. ^
Most of these boneless voters are too cowardly to show themselves in this thread.
It's not elitist, it's comparing two things that aren't the same at all...One are chicken wings and the other are...
No,you don't get it. You don't actually eat the bone.
A real man breaks his teeth?
Except I do and I have had bone-in. It is incredibly easy to hit upon a hard bit of bone or muscle that can turn you off entirely. I hate encountering a texture that doesn't mesh with the food I'm eating, completely stops my hunger cold.
You....you have no idea how to eat wings, do you? Hitting bones with your teeth? What the fuck?
It is clear to me that most people don't have the same issues I do with texture upon eating bone-in wings, but the issue still stands regardless. Bone-in are terrible because of the fact that the bone is there to accidentally hit your teeth upon.
Not to mention other negatives:
- It's incredibly messy on your hands and face.
- It encourages having a leftover bone which will just be thrown away, making more trash.
- The amount of meat you get is paltry compared to true boneless wings, which are not glorified nuggets, but glorious meat bits of sauce and spice.

Because we're discussing chicken wings. Non-wings shouldn't apply.
*Edit*
Ha, that Wyngz pic. Wyngz has become the pet name my boyfriends and myself have for boneless wings. It's... strangely fitting, somehow.
You eat wings like a cartoon character eating an ear of corn, correct?
I'm glad we got this out of the way.

I usually get half and half. Can't lie, sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with bones.
That was one of the goals of the thread. Wings are awesome. :3 Enjoy!
Post pics! lol
I'll actually break chicken bones to get at the marrow. In Japan and China they straight up sell you the skin, ligament or tendons on a skewer. You probably prefer chicken breasts to thighs, legs, and wings too. Seems like a personal problem.
"It encourages having a leftover bone which will just be thrown away, making more trash."
Okay this is truly hilarious!!!

Why? Do you prefer one over the other? Drumstick or wing? Whats your fav flavor? Do you go for the uncomfortable hot?
Honorable mentions and discussions of where you've had amazing wings, plus pictures are encouraged.
Poll.
Chicken wings are great
Dip me in ranch if old or inappropriate.
LOL I'm going to make polls in all my threads if this is the new thing
And boneless wings aren't wings
Yes, because throwing away chicken bones before they get to your table means there is somehow less trash overall? What?
I seriously cannot tell if you are joking or not, but I will touch on your points.
1. Is it that hard to use a napkin after a bite or wash your hands after eating?
2. This is just plain dumb unless you believe boneless chicken grows in a vat.
3. They are most certainly glorified nuggets, but quality of course varies. Same with the so called "more meat" bs.
I refuse. Nuggets are a specific size (and type) of chicken, processed bits that are created to be eaten by not just children but by anyone.
The fact that you have to differentiate between who gets to eat them speaks volumes to me what you consider an adult to be.

Depends on the place. Prefer boneless in theory but usually end up preferring traditional at most places even though it's a pain in the ass.
You bet. Take a bone outta a wing and it ain't a wing anymore. It's fine to like chicken nuggets, just don't be talking about it being a superior wing when it's not even a wing.

Boneless nuggets for me sir. It's halloween, I don't want to be reminded of skeletons
Protip. The act of cutting a chicken apart into different sections is literally called processing a chicken. Also, look, chicken nuggets.

Bone-in. Restaurants tend to put that breading that has a nasty after taste to it with very little meat inside.
And they are, but I certainly wouldn't order them if I was craving chicken wings!
Responses:
- It's not that it's hard; just that it's an extra step and annoying to boot. Boneless wings are clean and efficient.
- I don't and I'm not sure why this is dumb - there's a bone left over from your wing. It's extra trash. For you and for others involved - at the restaurant.
- Glorified nuggets aren't even a thing - there's boneless wings. Nuggets are nuggets. Small, bitesize pieces of chicken. Boneless wings you have to eat in more than one bite.
Whatever you want to call them, they're superior in my book. Boneless all the way. Had some 60c boneless from Wild Wings tonight actually.

You do realize that boneless wings aren't actually wing meat, correct?
What I'm referring to is another "process" of extruding meat into a shape that is breaded and fried i.e. a nugget.Protip. The act of cutting a chicken apart into different sections is literally called processing a chicken. Also, look, chicken nuggets.
What you have there is chicken nuggets because they're not A) sauced and B) not a larger size that takes multiple bites to eat.
Sure those are of a larger variety where it could take more bites to eat, but this is the differentiation I'm using to describe boneless wings.
1.) Boneless wings are chicken nuggets.
2.) The bones still exist and end up in the trash, whether you see them or not.
3.) The fine folks at Digiorno identify them as white meat chicken fritters, or Wyngz. Does that name work better for you? Cause they fosho have nothing to do with actual chicken wings.
Chicl-fil-a's nuggets are just pieces of chicken breast, there is no shaping involved.
Are these wings to you?

traditional for sure
I feel like boneless people think traditional people eat like this:
But I eat traditional wings like this guy eats ribs:
Then I dance like Billy Dee Williams:
2. Trash is trash, it doesn't matter if it is in front of you or at the processing plant.
3. They are not wing meat though. They are glorified chicken strips.

Okay, so you're not eating "glorified nuggets". You're eating wyngz.
We'll keep going with the replies, keep 'em comin'.
I never once claimed they were "wing meat" but rather that it is in the shape and purpose of how a wing is supposed to be eaten - several bites, sauced to perfection. Now, there are dry rubs which are also applied, and is delicious.
You're getting caught up in the actual chicken part name here I think. Not the food description.
Indeed.

- Not true, you just want to call them that because you have a bias for bone-in wings.
- Are you referring to boneless wings having bone bits in them that come out in the toilet? Because that way is still better than a whole bone.
- The fine folks at Digiorno also name them because they want to sell them as wings but they're not exactly the same. Hence the false name.

I didn't know boneless chicken wings were even a thing.
Hai Choomp!
I didn't think people would get up in arms about the technicality of boneless being a chicken nugget.
*Shrugs
I do think that places that offer a chicken tender as a boneless is better than the other bit, and chicken should never be dry.
Traditional chicken wings are the best in my book tho. Just can't beat the taste of them. But like a lot of people said, there is a time and a place for each. Boneless are cleaner, while the other ones can get a bit messy.
