Perhaps, but as a gustatory pleasure, the point of a chicken wing is all that delicious, crispy fatty skin, IMHO, and that’s WHY chicken wings live on, despite the fact that they tend to be more expensive by weight these days than many other parts of the chicken. Last time I checked at my grocery, they were more expensive per pound than even boneless, skinless breasts!
I’m with the OP. It’s a nugget. Or a “chicken tender.” The “boneless wing” nomenclature is just silliness.
There is a variety of boneless “chicken wing” that is basically a nugget sized ball of dark chx meat with a dimpled skin like surface. Chicken balls really.
Chicken thighs are the bomb! I leave skins on and roast them to crispy moist deliciousness
I’d rather have boneless wings. Eating meat off the bone has always been awkward and difficult for me, and you get more meat for your buck with a boneless wing anyway.
I have never had a boneless wing with skin. Every one I’ve ever had was just breaded fried chicken pieces with no skin involved. Usually they’re larger than a typical nugget but smaller than a tender, but chock full of disappointment.
I don’t know that that’s true, at least any where that I would go a second time for wings. We did wings last night for dinner and the kids got “boneless wings” and my wings were about the same size. My favorite wing place sells wings that are 5-6 pieces to the pound and even if you removed the bone I don’t think I’ve ever seen boneless that large.
Maybe some enterprising chicken rancher/biologist will start injecting the wings with massive doses of prednisone while they’re still chicks. Then the wings will be boneless when they take them off the adult birds.
