https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/buffalo-wild-wings-admits-boneless-wings-not-wings-after-lawsuit-its-true

Buffalo Wild Wings responded to a lawsuit claiming its boneless wings are not actually made from wings, with the restaurant confessing to the allegations.

A Chicago man filed a lawsuit against the chicken wing chain last week for false advertising, saying the boneless wings are overpriced since they are basically chicken nuggets.

Aimen Halim alleges in the lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings and franchiser Inspire Brands, Inc. that the boneless wings are just "slices of chicken breast meat deep-fried like wings," and that customers would either pay less for the boneless wings or not purchase them at all if they knew what the product was made of.

"This clear-cut case of false advertising should not be permitted, as consumers should be able to rely on the plain meaning of a product’s name and receive what they are promised," the lawsuit stated, according to FOX Television Stations.

If you don't provide what you say your are, I think you are culpable. Silly as it sounds.

But the point of wings as I remember, is to hold the bone while eating. How does that work?

I reckon the suit against "Texas Pete" hot sauce didn't pan out ('cause it wasn't from Texas)....

"Buffalo" wings .... when cows fly ?

Buffalo Wild Wings response to the lawsuit


.It’s true.
Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken.
Our hamburgers contain no ham.
Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo.

One of the commenters on the article had made the same accusation. You may have a class action.

My favorite comment was about hot dogs.

Interesting but when you think about it, you can probably get almost 2 orders of a dozen boneless wings from one chicken.

You need 3 chickens to get 1 order of a dozen bone-in wings.

What sort of mutant 4 winged chickens do you have in New Jersey?
Or do you count drummies as wings?

The drummets are part of the wing.

I’m wondering, with all the advances in genetic manipulation, why we don’t have chickens with 4 breasts, at least 4 drumsticks and no wings?
It’s not like they get to fly around when they’re alive, right? 😳

I thought this thread was going to be a joke with the OP using the punchline "at the bottom of the ocean".

Everyplace that I've ever had or seen "wings" in the US has served them like this.



Which is one of these cut into the 3 major sections with the smallest section discarded.



which yields

I think the lawsuit is stupid but I agree with the guy.

Wings have bones.

It pisses me off to no end when I go to a place that serves both and have to answer questions about my order.

"Traditional or boneless?"

Boneless are not wings, if I want nuggets I'll order nuggets.

And before you jump all over me yes, I've lost patience over the years.

You gotta see me ordering Subway for my kid.

6 inch Tuna on Italian please, nothing else, just Tuna, that's it.

Would you like Lettuce?

Just Tuna.

Cheese?

J U S T Tuna, nothing else.

Any dressing?



I swear they do it just to irritate me.

Nope, they do it because they don't/can't think.
