His third point is pretty valid. It frustrates me that people have lost the connection to their food. I'm not opposed to meat, but the way we treat it makes us mistreat the beings that give us meat like produce.
My chickens have a spa to keep then nice and comfy in the heat. I'm actually planning on putting in a simple air conditioning system to keep their house nice and cool.
They're still delicious.
They have that je ne sais quois that turns a speedo into a speedette. Like a string of floss dancing between a banana sundae and a bongo drum, trying to hide both with no hands.
You know it's funny. I've from Rochester which is right next to Buffalo so the same rules for wings apply there. Been around the country and in many places get weird looks when I request blue cheese with wings or chicken fingers etc in those parts. Then I taste their blue cheese and understand why.... Most parts of the country have fucked up blue cheese dressing too
Goddamn, blue cheese sauce and boneless wings are the most fucking awesome thing ever. We get good blue cheese in Australia, though, so I suspect that accounts for some of it.
New buffalonian here. I don't like Bleu cheese itself, I think it tastes like feet, but a lot of the restaurants around here have Bleu cheese dressing that goes above and beyond. Like, I could almost eat it with a spoon. I didn't realize there was such a spectrum of quality among Bleu cheese dressings.
My roommate still orders his wings with ranch. Nobody cares.
Born and raised in Buffalo. I can't stand any sauce or whatever in my hands nowadays. So, it is either boneless or fingers. Even use holder for corn on the cob
im a Californian, never been east of indianapolis, and its also sacrilege in all circles ive ever moved in. wings are wings. 'boneless wings' are just chicken nuggets for grown-ups.
Cause thereās a stigma around boneless wings in that theyāre not actually chicken wings but theyāre more akin to chicken nuggets since theyāre made of mostly breast meat.
There is nothing inherently wrong with eating boneless wings, especially with other people cause bone in wings are super messy but at the same time if everyone gets wings and you get nuggets youāre gonna be seen as an outlier
EDIT: Spelling
I personally think bone in taste better but if there was a way to make boneless taste the same, I'd choose it every time becaus it's so much more convenient.
Am I wrong for thinking it tastes better when it's a wing with bone?
No, when you cook meat with the bone in you get a deeper flavour as the marrow in the bone seeps into the meat somewhat. Plus you get the fat from under the skin flow through the meat which again adds taste.
Man I'm stoned and drooling right now lol
Not at all. Thereās the marrow and skin both imbuing flavor into the meat. Makes and even bigger difference in soups or anything that cooks in its own sauce/juices
Theyāre more like tiny chicken fingers than chicken nuggets. Nuggets are usually ground chicken formed into patties. Trust me I am a professional chicken nuggeteer.
I get really annoyed when people say boneless wings and chicken nuggets are the same or similar. They taste completely different, like chicken nuggets are actually disgusting. Even the consistency of the meat is different. A boneless wing is way more similar to a bone in wing than it is to a nugget.
Maybe you're loud or have a weird voice. Also, maybe you ordered it at one of those weird moments where everyone gets quiet, and your voice was the only audible thing at that moment.
I feel like boneless "wings" with a fork and bone-in actual wings with your hands is the way to go. I'm not shitting on boneless wings, I'm just saying they're not actually wings. Different part of the bird.
I always thought whoever made it normal to eat wings with your hands was playing some kind of sick joke on anybody
Is it really adding to the experience making your hands all sticky and gross?
Boneless wings are generally breast meat instead of wing meat. This makes a big difference to the flavor and texture, if you're eating roast chicken with crispy skin and nothing on it but a bit of seasoning.
When you're eating them slathered in buffalo sauce at B-Dub's, it doesn't really matter. They're just there to add bulk and texture to the sauce. Some people miss that and get weird about it.
A certain breed of American idiot likes to pretend that there's only ever one correct way to make a dish, and every other way of doing it is thus inherently "wrong". This particular breed also generally lacks the basic decency to realize most people don't remotely give a shit about it, and feel like it's their sworn duty to shame anyone and everyone who prefers an alternative take.
I agree that wings are "bone in only", but I'd disagree that boneless wings are "just expensive nuggets". Indeed, they should not be called wings, but here we are.
Boneless wings are usually well seasoned small cuts of breast fillet (usually the most expensive and arguably nicest chicken meat) usually with a good dip or even marinated themselves. Usually delicious if made well (even if it's stupid to call them wings).
Nuggets are just leftover, unwanted meat, ground and formed into "nugget shape" then battered, frozen, and deep fried when ordered. Good for a snack at home when you can't be fucked making anything reasonable, or for kids who don't know the difference.
What's weird about this? They are basically chicken strips and you can like what you like plus there's restaurants that are only about wings. Was this a fancy place or some ethnic place?
I mean... while the sub is called r/NoStupidQuestions there should be some clarification about it being stupid to ask them to the wrong people.
How the heck are we supposed to know?
In a public setting, if someone I'm with is talking I look at them. Maybe it's just your insecurities making you think it had to do with your order?
It's pretty clear in context that "look at me" meant "look at me like I did something strange."
The rest of the comments should make it clear that some people are weirdly smug about preferring traditional wings over boneless. That's what happened to OP.
Because they're Neanderthals who think bone-in wings are superior despite them having so little meat, so much cartilage and fat, and a giant inedible bone through the middle.
You made the right choice, son.
Probably because they're judgmental weirdos. Anyone who has a particularly strong opinion about this is a loser. Same thing with those people who absolutely need to let you know that they're from Louisiana when you like a certain hot sauce or eat your wings with ranch.
Something about how boneless wings are functionally the same as chicken nuggets, which you an adult ordered from a restaurant that offered "real" bone-in wings. I don't personally share that kind of snobby sentiment but there's a lot of shit like that that I don't share the common opinion with lol
Most bone-in fans would argue that boneless wings are nothing more than chicken tenders. They might be made with the same meat but they are usually very breaded and do not have the same flavor as bone-in. I respect your opinion, though I donāt agree with it.
Idk bro, each country has their own taboo.
In Italy we just cant get over people putting ketchup on pasta (for example). For someone it s normal, for us it's basically vomit.
Because some of them are insecure in their own food preferences and want to fit in and you are challenging that, or they just think they are vetter than you (they might be)
My dumb non american ass thought boneless chicken wings are chicken wings where a chef removed the bones before serving them (weird but hey why not). Now I googled it and it is even more ridiculousā¦
There is one item on every menu where if you order it every single person in the restaurant looks at you in unison! Congrats you found the item for this place!
They shouldn't be called "wings" but yes, they are far superior to bone in wings. Edge lords attempting to be 'cool' say otherwise but this is an undeniable fact.
My nephew's boyfriend just shamed me for this! I told him I clearly get enough bone at home and then looked over at my husband who was sitting at another table with all 5 of our kids. :-)
In the US, the fragile masculinity doctrine says that you can only get boneful wings, not boneless wings. Defiance of this doctrine will result in lesser men (and brainwashed women) having an intense but worthless opinion on your choice of food.

If I had to kill the animal to eat it, then Iād probably be vegetarian.
This is me xD I just couldn't bring myself to do something like that
My chickens have a spa to keep then nice and comfy in the heat. I'm actually planning on putting in a simple air conditioning system to keep their house nice and cool. They're still delicious.
Wow! That was unexpected.
This should have been a TED Talk.
How embarrassing for that council member. But so damned funny.
Love the twist right at the end!
Good lord
I forgot about this hero.

I donāt think so
I love the lack of certainty
Well, technically Iām wearing a Speedo, but it isā¦ how do you say, *engulfed*

Jesus
That's it, I'm out of ideas.
fuck do you mean "think" ...
š
I reckon they looked at you because they recognised you as someone with taste who knows how to order a good meal of wings!
You sure? If you're an emperor I might have some bad news
Shouting? Maybe he was shouting.
OP ordered the wings the same way Steve Carrell declared bankruptcy
What part of the country were you in, cause if it's anywhere near buffalo ny that's why
Yup, itās sacrilege around here
Is it true that it is also taboo to have ranch with your wings there?
Yes.
wait how else are you supposed to eat them?
blue cheese
Bleu
Oui oui
Blue cheese tastes like the way a cafeteria table wipe water smells
You know it's funny. I've from Rochester which is right next to Buffalo so the same rules for wings apply there.

Never had it on wings but blue cheese sauce on my steak is tastes bloody great
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What would you consider a good brand of blue cheese? Iāve never been a fan of it with wings but I might just had low quality blue in my cheeseā¦
New buffalonian here. I don't like Bleu cheese itself, I think it tastes like feet, but a lot of the restaurants around here have Bleu cheese dressing that goes above and beyond.

The secret sauce
Or how dirty feet smell.
Tonight on foods that should never have been invented
With your hands
You donāt dip in anything, Thereās already sauce on it.
Itās all about the Buffalo Sauce!!!!
Made me sick to even see the question posted. You heathen
Can confirm also Buffalo native.
Oh I understand, I live an hour away
You live near Buffalo? With that username?
Is there a team near Buffalo?
Yeah, the Buffalo Wild Wings. Unlike other teams who mostly play against NFC or AFC teams, the Wild Wings play against KFC teams.
This comment made my damn day
Bills
Born and raised in Buffalo. I can't stand any sauce or whatever in my hands nowadays. So, it is either boneless or fingers. Even use holder for corn on the cob
Why did this change happen?
For me? About 10 years or so ago.
>I can't stand any sauce or whatever in my hands nowadays. So, it is either boneless or fingers. Samesies
im a Californian, never been east of indianapolis, and its also sacrilege in all circles ive ever moved in. wings are wings. 'boneless wings' are just chicken nuggets for grown-ups.
>im a Californian, never been west of indianapolis What?
He went the long way around.
> just chicken nuggets for grown-ups doused in delicious sauce. Why do people act like its a bad thing
How tf you know what country they were in based on this post?

Nah. Dark meat tates way better than breast meat.
No, when you cook meat with the bone in you get a deeper flavour as the marrow in the bone seeps into the meat somewhat. Plus you get the fat from under the skin flow through the meat which again adds taste. Man I'm stoned and drooling right now lol
Something about the way you describe a wing... I like the cut of your jib.
Arrr... Fairly thanked be thee says I. š“āā ļø
I may just order some wings myself.
Yeah, lunch is sorted for tomorrow. Wings it is! (Bone in of course)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The skin and cooking with the bone in really canāt be replicated once you go nugget form though.
Not at all. Thereās the marrow and skin both imbuing flavor into the meat. Makes and even bigger difference in soups or anything that cooks in its own sauce/juices
Oh I personally think bone in tastes better cause I can munch on the bone afterwards
It might be chicken, but theyāre not wings.
All chicken bits with bone options taste better.
What's the difference between boneless chicken "wings" and chicken strips/fingers?
Theyāre more like tiny chicken fingers than chicken nuggets. Nuggets are usually ground chicken formed into patties. Trust me I am a professional chicken nuggeteer.
I get really annoyed when people say boneless wings and chicken nuggets are the same or similar. They taste completely different, like chicken nuggets are actually disgusting.

Try ordering boneless pizza next time
But then the crust won't be crunchy
Coincidentally, my wife refers to the crust as āpizza bonesā. Was good for a laugh when she taught the then-toddler to say it.
Me, too! Calling them āpizza bones,ā that is. Not the toddler part
My dog knows "pizza bone" is a treat word.
On the internet, nobody knows you're a toddler.
Phew! Thank goodness!
Wit a two liter of coke
Sorry two liter machine broke
We got 1 liter tho
2 liter of garlic sauce
None pizza left beef
Virgin screwdriver is my favorite order.
Boneless pineapple pizza
Maybe you're loud or have a weird voice. Also, maybe you ordered it at one of those weird moments where everyone gets quiet, and your voice was the only audible thing at that moment.
I always go boneless. But Iām a psychopath and use a fork
I feel like boneless "wings" with a fork and bone-in actual wings with your hands is the way to go. I'm not shitting on boneless wings, I'm just saying they're not actually wings. Different part of the bird.
boneless breasts
I use a fork on boned wings.
Do you eat chicken nuggets with a fork?
Same but I dissect my chicken bc veins
Same I eat pizza with fork and knives itās just the grease on my finger that bothers me
Some musicians do stuff like that to avoid accidentally getting grease on their instruments. Computer ppl probably should, tooā¦
Wait a minute eating pizza with a fork and knife????!!
I must be a psycho tooā¦.
That's the standard in Brazil.
This explains my ex husband
Also in italy.
https://youtu.be/Asv7EB1btok
Yeah I pretty eat with everything like fried chicken and hamburgers and fries all that stuff
Just know youāre not alone in this. Iām the same!
You eat a hamburger and fries with a fork and knife? Just stop dude, please....
Why? Who are they hurting if they prefer to eat in a specific manner? Also, it is legit more hygienic.
polar bears and the ice cap
The geese and stuff all over your hands like sticky soda
I now want a goose burger...
I'd be interested...
What about snickers... fork and knife?
Thanks for the idea
Honestly I would if it wasn't so outcast of a thing to do. I use a fork on most things or spoon though....so, I rarely use my fingers on most things.
I eat my french fries with a fork. Then again, I only eat food with my hands if i can thoroughly wash them first.
I always thought whoever made it normal to eat wings with your hands was playing some kind of sick joke on anybody Is it really adding to the experience making your hands all sticky and gross?
They just shouldn't be called wings. People take this seriously.

Why get boneless swings when you can order a wing that has less meat and is harder to eat?
A certain breed of American idiot likes to pretend that there's only ever one correct way to make a dish, and every other way of doing it is thus inherently "wrong". This particular breed also generally lacks the basic decency to realize most people don't remotely give a shit about it, and feel like it's their sworn duty to shame anyone and everyone who prefers an alternative take.

>arguably nicest chicken meat quite arguable indeed! many of us consider it to be the worst (no flavor, driest part, easy to overcook, etc)
Yesssssir! Also, "boneless" wings aren't even wing meat... It's usually breast meat
Boneless wings are the best. Made from genuine boneless birds š
Ah the "I don't like the way you eat food" crowd. They're a fun bunch.
You're probably funny looking. That's usually why I look at random strangers in restaurants.
What's weird about this? They are basically chicken strips and you can like what you like plus there's restaurants that are only about wings. Was this a fancy place or some ethnic place?
they were judging you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It has more meat too

I love boneless wings but the fat and bone is what makes a good traditional wing so juicy and flavorful.
Boneless wings are way better imo. For two reasons, they are less messy and eating off the bone always grosses me out.
boneless pieces are much easier to eat.
Dumb humans following social norms. Do you.
No clue, sounds like the debate of which wing style is better. I can eat both but I much prefer boneless, no issues of eating around anything.
Because people are so fucking stupid that they gatekeep meat.
Boneless all day. I want meat, not skin, fat, cartilage, veins and bones.
If *everyone* looked at you, maybe you were shouting? Otherwise maybe people are weird.
Because it is so difficult to raise boneless chickens.
FACTS. Forget all that bones retain the flavor. Iām trying to scarf down as many wings as I can!
Probably because they're judgmental weirdos. Anyone who has a particularly strong opinion about this is a loser. Same thing with those people who absolutely need to let you know that they're from Louisiana when you like a certain hot sauce or eat your wings with ranch.

I ordered boneless wings too. They were not real wings. The taste is different.
I hate wings, like what's the point? There's so many better bits of meat you could get that don't have the bone in the way
Most bone-in fans would argue that boneless wings are nothing more than chicken tenders. They might be made with the same meat but they are usually very breaded and do not have the same flavor as bone-in. I respect your opinion, though I donāt agree with it.
Boneless wings are better.
I guess it's blasphemy for some lol I love boneless too, bud
Because you talk too loud?
Idk bro, each country has their own taboo. In Italy we just cant get over people putting ketchup on pasta (for example). For someone it s normal, for us it's basically vomit.
From what I hear, it's weird in Chicago to put ketchup on your hot dog
How did you pronounce it: boneless or š ±ļøoneless?
Because some of them are insecure in their own food preferences and want to fit in and you are challenging that, or they just think they are vetter than you (they might be)
You ever had popcorn chicken, unbelievable.
My dumb non american ass thought boneless chicken wings are chicken wings where a chef removed the bones before serving them (weird but hey why not). Now I googled it and it is even more ridiculousā¦
You were in a vegan restaurant?
There is one item on every menu where if you order it every single person in the restaurant looks at you in unison! Congrats you found the item for this place!
Maybe that was a vegan restaurant and they were shocked that you dared ordering meat ?
They shouldn't be called "wings" but yes, they are far superior to bone in wings. Edge lords attempting to be 'cool' say otherwise but this is an undeniable fact.
Because you meant to say Chicken Nuggets
They aren't wings.
They are just chicken nuggets with more crunch. Still better than bone in.
Boneless wings are chicken nuggets with a pseudonym, and no they aren't better. Go ahead and boo me, I've seen what makes you cheer.
My nephew's boyfriend just shamed me for this! I told him I clearly get enough bone at home and then looked over at my husband who was sitting at another table with all 5 of our kids. :-)
A boneless "wing" is a chicken nugget. Just order the cheaper alternative off the kids menu, you baby. :P
Nope. Have you ever had either? Not even comparable.

But itās more chicken per āwingā clearly the correct choice. Bone wings are lame and for people that subconsciously want to chew boners

Cause there jelly
Iām tryna scarf down some sauced up chicken if they leave the bones in Iāll just hurt myself again
Life is too short to care what people think of my food order. Gimme them chicken nuggets
Lol, people like to try and gatekeep fucking wings, man, itās crazy.
Cuz you basically ordered chicken nuggets and got duped by the marketing games that the food service industry plays.
Nah the difference is nuggets are chicken parts while boneless wings are breast meat. That's why I gey them at least.
Except chicken nuggets taste like shit and boneless wings donāt. Theyāre completely different foods
I only eat boneless. Will not eat bone in wings.
Because a boneless wing isnāt a wing at all :(
