They're really just white breast meat, cut in the shape of a wing, breaded and fried. Glorified chicken nuggets, if you will. Customers nationwide seemed to come to this mutual understanding, but collectively agreed the myth of 'boneless wings' could stay alive in the sanctuary of Buffalo Wild Wings.

Ever wonder how those nicknames got started? Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 by Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, who had recently moved to Ohio from Buffalo, New York. The two couldn't find authentic Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings, so they decided to create a restaurant that served them in the Buckeye State.

The chain is best known for Buffalo-style chicken wings along with over a dozen sauces, as well as a complement of other items such as chicken tenders and legs. The chain's menu also features appetizers, burgers, tacos, salads, and desserts, along with beer, wine, and other beverages.

To put it simply, boneless chicken wings are just dry chicken breast pieces cut up to resemble a chicken wing.

The benefits of boneless chicken wings include the following: They're easier to eat. Since there's no bone to eat around, many people find this variety easier to eat. You can cut them up with a fork and knife without the hassle of trying to avoid the bone.

Buffalo wings are named for Buffalo, New York, where they were invented, and have no relation to the animal. They are often called simply chicken wings, hot wings, or just wings.

One of the claims is that Buffalo wings were first prepared at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, by Teresa Bellissimo, who owned the bar with husband Frank in 1964. At the time, chicken wings were inexpensive and undesirable, and normally thrown away or reserved for stock or soup.

While many chains focus on the food and the menu, Buffalo Wild Wings invests in the customer experience. "We wanted to create an exciting environment for our customers where they could put in a customized wing order, have a beer, and enjoy the game just as much as if they had been there," Smith said.

McDonald's began selling Mighty Wings as an option in 1990 at their restaurant locations in the United States. In 1994, following four Super Bowl appearances by the Buffalo Bills football team, the Domino's pizza chain added Buffalo wings to their national menu, followed by Pizza Hut the next year.

After an Illinois man filed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings alleging the company misleads customers by advertising its "boneless" meat as "wings" when they are not actually wings, the chain delivered a response to the viral story on social media earlier this week. "It's true," the chain tweeted Monday.

Whether cut from actual flying-related appendages or not, “boneless wings” have taken hold. The chicken council, which credits the behemoth chain Buffalo Wild Wings with inventing them, asked wing eaters in 2018 which kind of wings they preferred, and 40% placed themselves on Team Boneless.
