Man sues Buffalo Wild Wings, saying 'boneless wings' are actually just chicken nuggets

The plaintiff accused the chicken chain of engaging in “false and deceptive marketing and advertising” by listing it on the menu that way.

Why do people still keep eating chicken nuggets, which are made from what was called pink slime once?

by Anonymousreply 3March 14, 2023 5:09 PM

The pink slime is a binder that forms the ground chicken into a solid piece of meat. It's really not that bad, classical cooks have techniques to do something similar to make terrines and some kinds of charcuterie.

Most of the industrial food manufacturing that people find so disgusting is straight of French haute cuisine. They just automate it and use cheaper ingredients.

He is right and that’s why these chains always offer discounts on these fake wings. They are not fucking wings and should not be advertised as such. A boneless wing is a wing in which the bones have been removed not fkin chunk of chicken cutlet or breast.

by Anonymousreply 6March 14, 2023 5:16 PM

Calling them "boneless wings" allows them to charge the same price for chicken nuggets as they are for wings. That's like a two or three dollar markup per plate.

As silly as this lawsuit is, boneless wings is such a dumb term. It is nothing but a chicken nugget, you are either eating wings or you are not.

[quote] The pink slime is a binder that forms the ground chicken into a solid piece of meat. It's really not that bad,

The product is not allowed in Canada [bold] due to the presence of ammonia[/bold], and is banned for human consumption in the European Union.

The term "pink slime", a reference to the product's "distinctive look",[36] was coined in 2002 by Zirnstein in an internal FSIS e-mail.[28][33][37] Expressing concern that ammonia should be mentioned on the labels of packaged ground beef to which the treated trimmings are added, Zirnstein stated "I do not consider the stuff to be ground beef, and I consider allowing it in ground beef to be a form of fraudulent labeling".[28] He later stated that his main concern was that connective tissue is not "meat", and that ground beef to which the product had been added should not be called ground beef, since it is not nutritionally equivalent to regular ground beef

R8 There is a such thing as boneless wings. You can buy frozen ones and authentic wing places sometimes have them— the bones have been removed.

That reminds me of the McDonald's hot coffee case, where a customer's pussy lips melted when the coffee fell into her lap. Many saw it as ridiculous and almost fraudulent, but McDonalds was really in the wrong here overheating the brew making it unsafe to handle.

[quote] The coffee was not just “hot,” but dangerously hot. McDonald’s corporate policy was to serve it at a temperature that could cause serious burns in seconds. Mrs. Liebeck’s injuries were far from frivolous. She was wearing sweatpants that absorbed the coffee and kept it against her skin. She suffered third-degree burns (the most serious kind) and required skin grafts on her inner thighs and elsewhere.

R14 It was an elderly woman who almost died. There's no reason to be serving food at scalding temperatures that would violate OSHA safety standards. It was like 80° hotter than it needed to be.

by Anonymousreply 21March 14, 2023 6:05 PM

R21 was that the issue. I thought the issue was they didn’t have a warning label on the cup which they now do. I occasionally get coffee from McDonald’s. And it is hot and will burn you if it spills on your lap. So they reduced the temp? It’s still hot.

by Anonymousreply 22March 14, 2023 6:24 PM

They should have just changed the spelling to Wingz to get around them not being real wings.

r21, the point is that, in general, there seems to be this attitude that these kinds of cases are a) fraudulent and b) the customers are being stupid as fuck, arguing in favor of big business for some reason.

McDonalds had been warned that they were serving coffee at a dangerously high temperature. They kept the coffee scalding hot so customers would be able to get fewer refills. Typical corporation cost saving measure...until the burnt cooter incident.

I remember going to Chili's about twenty years ago, and ordering steak fajitas which were advertised on the menu as '1/2 pound of steak'. When my dinner came out, I could tell there was much less than a 1/2 pound of steak in the grill. I called the waitress over who called over the manager. The manager assured me that there was a half-pound of steak in my order - they all come prepared and pre-weighed to 4 oz. I asked her how many ounces were in a pound and she said - quite assuredly - 8 oz. I, and others at my table, had to tell her it was 16 oz. (She ended up not charging me for the meal ).

Honestly, who gives a fuck if boneless wings are actually wings? Chicken wings are the biggest culinary scam in history. They are mostly bones, skin, and sinew, with only a tiny bit of meat. When I was in my 20s I used to buy wings at the grocery store all the time for less than a dollar a pound (early 90s.) They were great for making stock after eating as much of the meat off as I could.

Then the buffalo wing craze stormed the nation. Mixing butter with hot sauce drove the price of chicken wings out of control. I switched to thighs since, due to the low fat craze, the price of breasts went up and up. Thighs have been increasing in price over the last 5 to 10 years, as people have discovered that they taste better, and all of the idiot keto and primal people have started devouring them.

by Anonymousreply 49March 15, 2023 1:12 AM

I'll get slammed for this but I'd rather eat a mcnugget than an actual wing -- I'm fairly grossed out by any meat served on the bone. The only chicken I buy are breast fillets. I generally don't have baby tastes, but this is definitely a big one.

Maybe you should buy better wings. The ones uses in low priced restaurants and for bar food are the worst. I don't mind gnawing on wings. There are those two bites of real meat and then you have to work to get some more morsels. Helps one avoid being a BIG FAT WHORE.

R11, I can’t find a reference to a boneless wing being a wing with bones removed, but many describing them as a piece of chicken breast cut into the shape of a wing and then breaded, deep fried and sauced. I’ve also never had a “boneless” chicken wing that seemed to be a deboned wing. Where do you get them? Who serves them?

Buffalo Wild Wings @BWWings

It’s true. Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo.

𝑨 𝒇𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒋𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 a Chicago man’s class-action lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings over the type of meat inside the so-called “boneless” chicken wings, but lawyers for the plaintiff say they intend to refile the complaint.

ust this past February, Ted Anthony of the Associated Press called boneless wings a “culinary lie” — along with “baby carrots” and “Chilean sea bass” — in an impassioned article.

And in September 2020, Ander Christensen, a citizen of Lincoln, Nebraska, made an impassioned speech on the subject when the floor was opened to the public for comments during a Lincoln City Council meeting.

“We’ve been living a lie,” he said to members of the council, with many present erupting into laughter, although he reprimanded the giggles from the gallery and continued his credo. “𝐼 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠 — 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠.”
