Well….. He is technically correct. He’s also technically an asshole. Those “boneless wings” are chicken nuggets, but they’re also pretty good for food to absorb alcohol during sporting events.
I’d argue they’re more like chicken tenders. Chicken nuggets are made with ground chicken rather than just slices of breast meat.
For people who get so caught up on the definition of “wing”, everyone I see make this argument tends to forget that other words have definitions too. They just want to say “nugget” because it sounds more childlike.
The real travesty here is most places including Bdubs charge the same price for breaded chunks of chicken as they charge for actual wings. You can only get four wings per chicken, thus paying more. You cannot tell me that boneless wings cost the same amount to produce.
>Halim has also filed at least three other class-action lawsuits — claiming that the “natural” label on Tom’s Wicked Fresh Mouthwash and the “high in fiber” label on Kind granola are inaccurate and that Hefty shouldn’t label its bags as “recycling bags” because they are not recyclable. The Hefty case was dismissed in August.
So thank you, Litigious Pedant. Thank you for being a whiny prick in court, chasing nuisance settlements, and sticking up for the little people who are too stupid to know that deboned wings would be far too little meat to be worth the effort.
Also, for no good reason, here’s how I imagine this guy thinks his courtroom battles will go:
>Son, we live in a world that has products, and those products have to be marketed by men with lies. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?
>I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for boneless wings and you curse the corporate restaurant chains. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that deboned wings, while tasty, probably wouldn’t sell.
>And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *sells wings*. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me marketing those products. You need me marketing those products.
>We use words like “organic,” “natural,” “wyngz.” We use these words as the backbone of a life spent selling something. You use them as a punchline.
>I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very capitalism that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it!
>I would rather you just said “thank you” and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an iPhone and follow me on twitter.
>Either way, I don’t give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!
Depends… Is all of the wing and/or leg meat in the boneless wings? If they are using other parts of the chicken to make “boneless wings” the dude might have a legitimate argument to make.
Is this more of a “first world problem” or “how to make a fortune through litigation?”
Chicken breast meat is usually more expensive than wings for several reasons. And preferences matter. I think Americans generally prefer white meat. But my wife won’t even eat the wings off the roasted chickens because she prefers the leg and thigh. Russians also seem to have a preference for dark meat.

I’ve been waiting for this cause they really are just nuggets. Boneless wings have always been a scam
