Current Events > bone in>boneless wings...but at what quantity would you agree to switch?

(+) Yeah! (+)

let's say there's a deal on tues, where for the same price, you can switch to boneless wings and get double the amount. ie, would you rather have 7 boneless wings or 14 boneless wings for the same price? would it have to be, say 21 (3x) for you to take the deal?

Probably 14.
---

went to have wings with my friends yday and despite the free "upgrade", they all elected to pay same price for regular wings...
---

Boneless wings are glorified chicken nuggets but if you give me 25% more of them I'll still take them over bone-in most of the time just because I'm cheap and american, I dont have high standards

sometimes I'm just hankering for real wings and boneless will not cut it tho
---

Those deals already exist at most chain places. I stick with bone in. Thats the taste Im going there for.
---

Boneless dark > bone-in > boneless white
---

I'd rather just have twice as many bone-ins tbh. They awaken a primal urge in me that boneless wings just can't satisfy.

Bone-In is just too much work. It's food, people. Not a damn chore.

I've never understood paying for the bone-in since you can't eat the bone. I'm paying for a food item with a part I can't consume. That makes no sense.

Because it tastes better.

DO you not eat BANANAS because they have peels? LMAO
or do you let popsicles melt in your hand because you dont want a stick in it LMAO
do you only eat soup in a bun so that you can eat the bowl too? LOLOLOL
i bet you don't wipe your butt after pooping because you can't use the cardboard tube

Food elitism is weird.

I usually stick to boneless just because I cant stand sticky fingers. But theyre both chicken slathered in sauce. >~>

I'd rather have boneless and eat the appropriate amount because I'm not a fat American

jk you guys, of course I'd have bone-in lmao nearly had you there
---

If the sauce is good enough Ill probably take the boneless even if you just gave me a couple more.

The food items in question actually have purpose. Peels protect the bannana and sticks allow you to better consume the product. Bone? It what? Holds the meat? Boneless wings prove it unnecessary.

i'm so confused. nobody has offered an actual reason why bone might be better except "boneless is just a chicken nugget".

guess what, bone-in is just a chicken nugget with a bone in it
---

given the choice between 8 bone in and 10 boneless im taking the boneless

What's more messed up, you quite often receive less meat with bone-in. And when it's the same price as boneless with more meat...why would you not go boneless?

I don't like dealing with the bones. I'll take the boneless, extra hot, please.

Fun fact: When I was a child, chicken wings were considered "garbage meat" and could be purchased anywhere at 29 cents/pound.

I remember this as well. I think it's an advertising thing and a ploy by companies to maximize profit.

Boneless all day! But I will say eating bone in isn't that much of a pain in the ass.

Pick the cartilage off.
Twist and pull the smaller bone out.
Eat the meat off the remaining bone in one bite.
Easy and tasty!
---

Dude you wont find a bigger wing enthusiast than me and I would never turn my nose up at boneless wings like these idiots on the internet.

Its a pointless elitist argument.

In my experiences most places cant do a really good bone in wing. Seriously like people think just deep frying a chicken wing and throwing a mediocre sauce on it is all you have to do. But A LOT of places can put out a bomb ass boneless wing, and Im gonna go where the quality is.

No, it was started in a local restaurant in Buffalo, NY.

But there is a clear difference in flavor between bone and boneless. Bone being a superior flavor. Boneless completely lacks skin. Though I don't mind boneless, there is a difference.

I'm not going to argue a subjective opinion.

But knowing how it started is an interesting note.

But also, given that it was once sold dirt cheap and is now much higher in price screams profit margins for bad product to me.

Yup...pizza hut and Domino's do this with their bone-in. Hell, Domino's only bakes their bone-in. They don't fry them.

Boneless on the other hand, different story. (Well, for PH. Domino's pre-cooks and rebakes in oven)
---

Boneless wings are fine, but good bone-in wings are amazing.

Whether I would buy boneless wings if they were cheaper depends on the quality of the wings. If the wings aren't that great anyway (I'm looking at you Wild Wings), then I don't care all that much. But there are some places where if it's not bone-in, I won't even bother.

Or it screams supply and demand. But nah that would be too logical for you eh?

And why did demand suddenly increase? Surely you're not implying advertising had zero effect?

The taste and texture. Though as many pointed out, places that put out mediocre bone products aren't worth going bone.

What does this have to do with anything? The demand increased because people realized they like the product.

There is a difference. Wings tend to be tighter clumps of meat (dark or white). Tenders are longer cuts of meat (usually from the breast of a chicken).

Ftfy, and they're worth some serious good boy points, thank you very much.

It's just insane to me though that people don't notice a taste difference between boneless and bone in wings. Do you also think chicken breasts and thighs taste the same?
---

Sure. Certainly some came around to it. But to attribute it to that alone? No, opinions and marketing definitely have a larger effect and convince people of buying inferior product.

I mean...pet rocks were literally sold and bought once upon a time...

Who the fuck says there isnt a difference in taste?

this aint the argument at all.

They are definitely not the same thing taste wise but the expierence of eating a small piece of deep fried chicken slathered in delicious sauce...its pretty much the same thing.

I mean its like the difference between sweet potato and regular fries. You can have a preference or like them equally. But its really the same damn experience in the end. And super silly to argue about.

All this thread made me think about is going to Wingstop tomorrow and how horngry (horny + hungry) I am for those birds covered in hot sauce. Gonna grab the mango habanero and cajun wings. I might even get them in the tenders idk.

I mean they're different cuts off the chicken. They taste different. Yes, if you season meat it tends to taste like the seasoning regardless of the cut. But the flavor is still there. Some people care about that difference. What a bizarre thing to argue about.

And there are plenty of people who are saying there is no difference besides the bone. Maybe if you opened your eyes and read through the topic instead of faking outage over chicken wings, of all things, you'd realize that.

Do they even make boneless wings without breading? That's what kills them for me, I just don't want that breading flavor on my wings.
---

What I gather from this topic is that despite our preferences and bafflement, we all love some friggin chicken cut up, cooked up, and flavored up any way possible. Lmao

I think so? I do recall encountering chicken tenders with no breading at the very least. Surely there is a wing equivalent somewhere.

i would need at least double

The quality of the place Im getting them from is a bigger determinant factor tbh. If its a place where the wings arent that good, Im going with boneless; mediocre bone-in wings are awful - they somehow manage to be soggy & dry at the same time - whereas boneless wings dont have that much range when it comes to quality, meaning theyre a lot harder to fuck up.

Quality bone-in wings >>>>> any boneless wing though
