Chicago man has a bone to pick with Buffalo Wild Wings over its ‘boneless’ wings
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | Mar 13, 2023 | By Stefano Esposito

No bones about it, Aimen Halim is very unhappy with Buffalo Wild Wings.

He’s so upset that the Chicago man recently filed a class-action lawsuit against the Atlanta-based chain, accusing the company of a “clear-cut case of false advertising.”

In his lawsuit, Halim says he bought food at a Mount Prospect Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant earlier this year and was served boneless wings that were not, in fact, de-boned wings.

Honestly, he does have a point. “Boneless wings” implies that they’re bone-less wings, not chicken nuggets. About time we had a lawsuit like this one, I say.

And they need to cut it out with calling wings “traditional wings.” That’s just stupid. They’re “wings.”

Boneless wings are not de-boned wings.

Or they would be called de-boned wings.

This has been another Useless Fact.

Not the same chicken in a nugget as in the wing.

I used to like to go to BWW for their good beer selection, at the time finding a decent beer selection in Mississippi was hard. The few times I ordered food there I couldn't believe how bad it was, my first though was how does a restaurant stay in business serving such crap food. The hamburger was like something from a school lunch menu and the wings were tiny, though they did have a bunch of different sauces which was good.

It doesn't surprise me that these so called boneless wings were processed chicken nuggets, you don't go there for the food unless they've improved it markedly since I've last been.

They serve both traditional bone-in wings and boneless. Sounds like this guy can’t read.

"I used to like to go to BWW"

We don't have any near me. The closest is over an hour away. When my son was living in Indiana, I'd stop half-way in Ohio, and there was a BWW down the road from the hotel I stayed in. I'd always order the boneless wings, and they were delicious. Never had a bad meal there, and the service was great.

Man, you can’t eat wings without teething and tonguing the meat off the wing bones and eating the cartridge. What’s gone wrong with this neo pussy culture?

Came here for this image, left satisfied. (I have a late-’80s vintage coffee mug with that Far Side image on it).

“Unbeknownst to plaintiff and other consumers, the products are not wings at all, but instead, slices of chicken breast meat deep-fried like wings.”

The horror. Hopefully through therapy he can piece his life back together.

Didn’t someone testify before a state legislature about this some years ago? Iirc Nebraska but I could be wrong.

I agree. Of course.

But a “boneless wing” is not a wing. It’s a nugget.

And a “traditional wing” ... is just ... a wing.

Wait til he finds out they’re not really from buffaloes either.
