Boneless Chicken Wings?
 

I have seen a lot of advertising lately about boneless chicken wings. I could not fathom how that could be! So I went to a chicken hatchery and talked with the head chicken hatcher. He said the chickens use their wings to flutter so if they were boneless they could not flutter. Fluttering enables them to move faster and also ventilate their bodies.

He too admitted seeing these false advertisements. He could not understand why the government condoned such a thing. He did say that he had seen deformed chickens with no bones in their wings and they usually keep them in a ventilated room as they could not flutter. But their quantity is not enough to feed a nation.

Have any of you wondered about this conundrum?:cus:

Want boneless chicken? Eat an egg. LOL

Chickens with boneless wings were Darwin-ed out of existence long ago...The dude is a fraud.

Did you know that popcorn shrimp has no popcorn?

:clap2: Lol! Oh dear.

I was hoping this thread would be about finding the perfect wings here in TV. Long ago I waited on tables in one of the best wing places in Atlanta! I've had a difficult time finding similar since. :sigh:

LOL

I've always been afraid to ask what chicken nuggets come from...

I Remember driving by a chicken processing plant in Ohio and it had sign that said "We use everything but the cluck"

What's next? Boneless ribeye steaks?
😱😵*💫

Tragic. :shocked:

With or without "eyes"? I mean... diversity and all...

headed up to Publix to buy another POT ROAST.

On another note
 

On another note: I was at a chicken farm one time. While talking to the owner, a 3-legged chicken went running by us at high rate of speed. I asked, "what's up with that?" He said that they had developed these 3-legged chickens to increase drumstick sales. I asked if they tasted the same as regular chickens. He said he didn't know because he had never been able to catch one.

After years of growing up with chicken coops on our tiny 10 acre neighborhood farm, there is definitely bone in those wings. Strong enough to cause damage to your face flapping their wings to get away.

How the definition boneless wing ever came about is right up there with chicken tenders. Not all are tender. Don’t forget the company that made boneless ribs, ya know the chopped up preformed meat shaped like a rib:1rotfl:

We get the fried chicken wings at King's Garden Chinese carryout 17860 SE 109 Ave unit #603 Summerfield FL 34491

They are large and delicious enough for two. Along with their vegetable delight or my own salad, dinner is done.

Yes I have always wondered why they stopped calling them chicken nuggets

Beware of meat balls as well
What about cured bacon? What did they have to cure it of before they sold it? :shrug:

They are just chicken nuggets (probably chopped up chicken parts) that’s why they are always breaded and deep fried. You can’t get more unhealthy!

A roast that will fit and be cooked in a pot, makes sense to me.

Bacteria.

I bet watching chicken nuggets being made is right up there with watching hot dogs being made :)

Good hot wings can be had at Beef O Bradys...The boneless wings are cheaper.

Cured bacon adds nitrates and phosphate.. so better without curing..our bacon is never cured.

This sounds good! Thank you!

Chickens wings without bones
 

I have seen heads without brains so why not chicken wings without bones?

I'm assuming this thread is just a joke, but here is a video of how to debone chicken wings. It's a tedious process. I certainly wouldn't bother! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaGupcNKo0I

What about the "Wings" places and you get everything except a wing. Small legs and who knows what else.

Same with those triple-breasted chickens, which aren’t really, more accurately they are triple HALF-breasted chickens. Very confusing. Must make walking particularly hard for those poor birds—more weight on one side than the other,

Do they even sell those any more?

On the lighter side (really!) there was an egg ranch near to where my airplane was hangared. The ranch produced not only eggs: once the hens reached the limit of their useful life they were sold to Campbell’s for soup chickens. “Shift change” was once a month as I recall.

Anyway, flying over that chicken ranch especially on a relatively calm A.M. meant some free altitude. Thermal on steroids! Of course the smell was not exactly pleasant…

They inject the cheaper brands of chickens with a type of saline solution. Did they get that idea from breast argumentation surgeons?:laugh:

In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as a good boneless wing. Give me bones!

I’ll be over for dinner! We may have to start with dessert…

I found where they come from.

Boneless wings are not made like hot dogs, they are just cut from the breast meat which is very similar to wing meat. Nuggets are also cut from breast meat just a different coating than the wings. My guess is boneless wings came from the fact most people like the taste from the buffalo wings but with only 2 wings per chicken, someone figured out cutting up the breast and deep frying it like wings is easier, cheaper as you can get probably a dozen boneless wings from one bird and can be served while drinking beer watching football.

Calling it deep fried chicken breast won’t sell quite like the wing term and beer drinkers are no looking for nuggets or tenders but what goes with beer better that wings.

Don't even get me started on Chicken Fingers!

Appreciate the humor in a few of these comments

I’ve heard Cousin Vinnie’s Family Sports Restaurant in Leesburg has excellent wings. Haven’t been there yet, but check out their extensive website. cvinnies.com

Heard a good name for eggs a couple of days back.

“Butt nuggets”.

“ Boneless Wings Come From A Different Cut of Chicken
“For starters, boneless chicken wings and chicken nuggets are made of different cuts of chicken. Despite being called “boneless wings,” they are made from tender, delicious chicken breast that has been cut into bite-sized pieces. Breast meat is commonly used for making boneless wings because it is one of the leanest and most tender parts of the chicken. On the other hand, chicken nuggets are made from various parts of the chicken, such as the skin and dark meat pieces. The hodgepodge of different chicken cutlets that nuggets are made from often results in an inconsistent flavor compared to fresh boneless wings.
“How Boneless Wings Are Made Makes All The Difference
“Another key difference between boneless wings and chicken nuggets is how they are prepared before cooking. Boneless wings are cut from chicken breast into small pieces, which are then coated in a batter mixture before being dunked in a deep fryer to give them their irresistibly crunchy exterior. Nuggets are often prepared in a less savory manner: mechanically-separated chicken is compacted into the shape of a nugget, battered, breaded, then fried. Because of this process, chicken nuggets can never be as fresh as boneless wings.”

I strongly disagree with the statement that breast meat is the most tender part of a roasted chicken.

Are Boneless Wings Just Chicken Nuggets?.

Well, what about "Chicken Fried Steak"? I've never seen a chicken cook anything, let alone fry a steak!

To silly for me!

I wonder how many people starved to death waiting for that wing to be "deboned". Of course, it takes a little less time if you speed up the video!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is where the boneless chicken wings come from

A fajita is a cut of beef. Having a chicken fajita is like having a chicken flank or chicken ribeye.
