tx_rush Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I have nothing against these so called "Boneless Wings".....They taste fine. I have a problem with the name. Look, they are adult chicken nuggets with sauce. Nothing wrong with that, but they are not wings. Do we have boneless ribs? (oh yeah, forgot about the McRib) but there is no term "boneless ribs." I realize there are pedantic grammer people out here, who get peeved about people writing things like "Your the best" This is my personal axe to grind. Wings = have a bone inside. Period. Who is with me? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings? Negative Ghost Rider I think they call them boneless "wings" because of they use sauces normally associated with wings -- Buffalo sauce, etc. So, let's call them wings for wimpy people who can't handle negotiating around the bones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just to add to the mix, how many places out there give you all wings? Most I've been to don't, they give you a mix of what are called "drums" and "flats", the miniature drumstick and the wing. Damn, now I want to go to Rickey's for one of my favorite pairs: Wings and Yeungs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Any possible way something can be made easier and less complicated to eat I am all in for. Pretty much without fail if I eat at a steak joint I order ribs. If they would bring them without the bone it would be just fine with me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Bubba Baker (former Detroit Lion defensive end) started a restaurant and pioneered boneless ribs. He was on Shark Tank with this idea but I forgot how he did. He was a beast on the field, but I admit to not having sampled his ribs. http://www.bubbasbonelessribs.com/ As far as the 'boneless' issue is involved, bones add no flavor to the meat so I'm pretty abivalent about their existence. Sort of like meat speed bumps. Boneless wings come from boneless chickens. Edited September 29, 2016 by HemiBeers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like meat speed bumps. Boneless wings come from boneless chickens. But the meat in "boneless wings" is very different than the meat in regular chicken wings. I agree with you Tex...I could copy your 90% of your OP and make it about how ridiculous it is to call Chicago Bread Bowl Cheese Soup a "pizza". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just for the record, I still eat boneless wings about 1 in 4 times I go to a wing place. I like them and they're a nice change of pace. But they aren't wings. I do find, however, that the sauces seem hotter to me on the chicken nuggets than on the wings...perhaps it's the breading soaking it all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't normally eat boneless wings. However, if I'm at work and wearing a white dress shirt I will eat them before regular wings. Impossible to eat wings without sauce flying everywhere and it's harder to get the wing sauce smell of your fingers than engine grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I know this isn't the same but this thread reminds me of when some people debate which style of pizza is best. That is... Bo: "Chicago pizza isn't real pizza!!! New York style is where it's at!" Luke: "Bull. New York pizza is just a thin, wet mess!" Duke: "You guys need to visit Hole-in-the-wall-town in pick-a-state-in-New England for good pizza." Daisy: "You're all wrong. Go to Italy for real pizza" Bo: "Nonsense. I've been there. It wasn't that good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boned, thrown in a blender and pureed with whatever sauce and a beer of choice. Really makes it convenient for my hectic lifestyle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
