how do you like your buffalo wings (or other-flavored wings)? boneless or bone-in?

food = good

every once in a while bone-in, but mostly boneless

boneless you might as well be eating a chicken nugget

the real question should be: t/s the chicken wings that are like drumsticks, or... the other ones

The advantage of hot wings is you get to eat around the bone like some primal crazoid, in public! See also: oxtail soup.

I like that feeling of "I care more about not wasting food than you" when I compare the state of my bone with others at my table

"compare the state of my bone with others at my table"

Some places' "boneless" wings aren't even wings, iirc, they're breast meat.

Also the two-bone wings are better than the drumstick wing bits, just like the vertebra-shaped oxtail cuts are better than the ones with just one stupid wee tiny bone.

boneless is weird

yeah i mean this is my major problem with the boneless wing concept; usually the bone-in wings just taste more real and meaty to me

i vote for the other ones

"compare the state of my bone with others at my table"

my bone is pretty clean... ladies

i dont think ive ever eaten boneless wings

i dont think i have either but just the concept sorta grosses me out

i've had them, they're essentially just big-ass nuggets afaict

yeah i dont really get the appeal/how they exist - shit is just chunks of meat w/ sauce on em

also abboott otm

the thought of biting into what you believe to be a wing and your teeth never touching bone - its just so wrong

slurpin the little bits of meat off (pause), the way meat cooks when it's in a boned state, important factors imo

If they were called Meganugz of Chikko Tenaers or anything like that I'd be fine, but it is their wing-fronting that bothers me. (Also they are inferior in taste & texture & pleasure of eating.)

the way meat cooks when it's in a boned state

yah this is u&k

a lot of places here will just call 'em 'chicken tenders' on the menu rather than front that they are deboned wings. like i said on the other thread, i do eat them at this once place locally where i know the wings are pretty crappy and small. my preference is always for bar wings tho.

my bf is a bartender at a place w/ cheapass wings - theyre not the best by any means but i bigass plate of honey garlic and/or mild when youre drunk is so sweet

boneless is wrong

discussion over, case closed

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

t/s the chicken wings that are like drumsticks, or... the other ones

drumstick-like >>> boneless >>>>> the other ones

all wings are like children to me, i will devour them with equal enthusiasm

I had lunch with my mom last weekend and she orered boneless wings. I started asking her all sorts of wing-realted questions inspired by this thread. She was like, "WHY DO YOU CARE?". It was a valid question.

I find chicken wings kind of gross. There's always some gristly or tendony bits that I'm not sure I'm supposed to eat and really do not enjoy when I try to do so. Still, chicken, and especially deep-fried chicken, are not especially high on my list of things to eat right now so I'll just vote for bone-in.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Sometimes at Thai/Viet places you can get these stuffed chicken wings that have been partially deboned and packed with the ricey-noodley spring roll filling.
