"But boneless wings aren't even wings, they're chicken nuggets!" Ok, fine. They are big ass chicken nuggets and chicken nuggets are awesome.

When I'm eating chicken wings, I want to pick up a chicken wing, put it in my mouth, and eat all of it. End of story. I paid for 100% of the food, and I eat 100% of the food. Its delicious and easy.

Traditional wings can't compete. It's a chore to find the actual meat among all of the cartilage, fat, and gristle. Any perceived enhanced flavor of the dark meat is immediately negated by the rest of the undesirable crap in there.

Finally, you end up eating like 40% what's on your plate. You're left with a gigantic pile of bones that is taken away from you at the end meal while you reach for a toothpick to remove all of the animal waste that is wedged between your teeth.
