Buffalo Wild Wings has been selling boneless chicken wings for YEARS, but one man dared to ask, "is this a legitimate chicken wing?" So ARE they chicken wings? And is there something suspicious about the way these chains, such a BWW, Domino's, and Papa Johns name their boneless meats. Let's find out exactly what these restaurants are hiding from us...

I mean chicken nuggets and chicken tenders definitely have more in common with each other than with boneless wings chicken nuggets are breaded and fried, but the breeding is thin so they're still chewy. they're usually small, and are not covered in sauce chicken tenders are also fried, but the breading is thicker so they're far crispy. they also tend to be larger than chicken nuggets. they're also not covered in sauce boneless wings aren't fried, or at least not breaded. they're just cooked chicken covered in sauce

MatPat didn't address the fact that a de-boned wing is probably more expensive than a regular wing. Even if you buy your wings with bone, you need to factor in the labor of de-boning them.

I think a more important comparison for whether there would be confusion over the name boneless wings would be how many restaurants are selling deboned wings as "Boneless Wings" because that would be more likely to create the association between the name and the product in someone's mind and lead to a legal harm when that expectation isn't fulfilled

One thing you didn’t mention was that the places not calling them boneless wings seemed to be pretty much just pizza places vs sit down restaurants that are focused on bar type food. Plus those places seem to have a tendency to default to having slightly smaller pieces and serving then either topped or with a dipping sauce as opposed to tossed. Any place that’s big on wings seems to call them boneless wings.

Food theory idea: what made Breakfast foods come to be considered Breakfast foods and why are they always so isolated from every other food/ meal group? Most restaurants that serve Breakfast foods either refuse to serve them past a certain time or advertise that they are available all day. Lunch and Dinner are usually interchangeable, but why not Breakfast? Why does no other meal get this treatment?

@bowmanc.7439 10 ай бұрын

I was about to make the same point. Deboned is the main selling feature of the product, if you have done no effort to debone it, then the customer has been cheated. It’s like advertising you’ve hand kneaded a dough and baked it in an earthen oven, but in reality it’s machine kneaded baked in modern oven. Even if you use a more expensive flour than advertised, it’s still a net financial loss for the customer

I knew everything that you just said, but I still bought there because of the BOGO. I was able to buy a bit of food that'd last me two evenings, especially when I was working long hours. It was great when I could order delivery, but then they cut back and made it pick up. But what made me stop returning was "$.99 order in pick up fee" they implemented. You're going to charge me to pick up my own food? I told the poor girl to let corporate know they lost a customer for life over such a greedy thing. I've been pretty vocal over it and hope they either learn or go under.

@ShapesWithoutColors 10 ай бұрын

When I worked there the wings were never frozen. We'd get dozens of cases in every Monday, and they took up most of our walk in fridge. But we had two walk in fridge, one for meat, and one for veggies. The quac was made by adding pico to some premashed avocado mix that came frozen in bags. But this was in 2008, and I left in 2009 and they had been going down in quality the whole time I worked there. I left when they tried to make the employees pay for food waste.

So I definitely thought the last time I ordered this that I was getting Wing meat that was deboned. I was a little sad, but I can definitely say that if a consumer hasn't properly been trained, they will likely think the very same thing I did and apparently so many others do 😂

Also, I'm guessing the "Per Pound" cost of wings includes the weight of the bones. Which are not edible. So "Boneless Wings" are definitely better value.

Didn't have labor cost of removing the wing either. Way higher cost if they are bought deboned

Boneless wings have way more bread usually. Boneless wings are a much worse value. Why else would restaurants push them so hard over normal wings? Most of the time they are cheaper. You think they're doing that for YOUR benefit? What a sucker.

@@NitroNinja324 because they are not in fact boneless wings. Pulling the bone out of a wing can give you a nice experience of crispy skin and tasty meat in one bite, bonus points with a tasty sauce. What most places offer is not wings with the bone taken out, it's just meat shaped like a wing. It's not the same taste or experience that I thought I'd be in for.

the standard in the food industry for wings is to serve by weight not piece count i worked to for a pizzahut/wingstreet location and every single piece of wings both boneless(breastmeat) and regular wings was weighed to 8oz and bagged on average you get more meat with a boneless set of wings

I just want to mention that the price thing Matt talked about at the end needs to be dived into more. Cause usually the boneless wings also have a different cost than the regular bone in wings. Some times being more expensive, when I was younger I used to think that was cause the cost was for the labor of them de-boning the wing

I think they dont get deboned wings because its cheaper. No need to pay the labour for taking the bones and the pieces wont look "weird" (transporting bonesless wings would mush them together probably?)

Actually as of recently, (as someone who orders Papa Johns a lot over the years) they have changed their name from poppers to wings as well. I was confused and actually called the store to find out if anything was different but, not really. They just renamed the poppers to wings and branded them as a 'new item' on their menu when really they were just the same poppers I was getting for 5~ years living here. Not sure when you started doing your research for this video, but this change must have been at best like, 2 months ago as I clearly remember during THIS summer they were still called poppers.

I feel like when saying “chicken wing” it’s more describing the way the chicken is prepped and not so much the cut of chicken. When ordering bone in wings from some places, you can get a mix of both wing meat and drumsticks. Shepherd pie could be seen as a similar issue, where it’s a dish with ground meat, potatoes, cheese, and other vegetables like corn or peas. However, unless the meat is lamb (which it rarely is in restaurants) it’s not actually a shepherd pie. Corn and peas aren’t ingredients in an actual shepherd pie either, but there’s a good chance you’ll get those too. The guy suing wild wings isn’t wrong that he didn’t get “what was advertised” at face value, although if we’re gonna start nitpicking that names don’t match what your getting, then stuff like pineapples really better watch out.

I mean, being processed doesn't automatically make something unhealthy, it depends on a lot of factors, like the preservatives being used.
