Bone-in gives way more flavor; chicken wings, prime rib roast and pork shoulder. All have a better taste because of the marrow in the bone.

@Tropical_Willie,...Indeed especially prime rib roast…I even try to dig out the marrow from the bones…Thanks, Tropical_Willie.

I prefer boneless, but that’s mostly because I like to eat with a knife and fork rather than my fingers.

I’ve never seen boneless chicken wings, so I’m going to land on the side of the bones.

@dappled_leaves That’s because they can’t fly north without the bones in.

And for a serious answer, I prefer the bones in.

@Seek…No chopsticks?...jk…Thanks for your answer :)

Boneless here. I don’t like to be reminded of where meat comes from.

@dappled_leaves…Ha, I got that…I’ve seen them and even tried them…I prefer the unboned variety.

Bone in for sure. I want the extra flavour being cooked around the bone gives. It also means it’s been processed less, which is important to me.

@janbb…“That’s because they can’t fly north without the bones in”...Are you referring to buffaloes or chickens flying north?...jk.

I also prefer the bones in… Thanks for your reply.

@johnpowell…Same here…Mechanically separated meat doesn’t sound healthy to me.

@BellaB…“Bone in for sure”...Agreed.

Boneless. It’s less work. And I really don’t like the spice combination of “Buffalo” wings. But I like my wings every other way.

@azlotto That question reminds me of a funny ad from some years ago that ended: “Silly Daddy, buffaloes can’t fly!”

@janbb…Lol, I had that vision when I first heard “buffalo wings”

@Espiritus_Corvus…Thanks for your reply.

@azlotto – I’m great with chopsticks, but buffalo wings aren’t really chopstick food.

@Seek…I was joking, and yes, “buffalo wings aren’t really chopstick food”

I can also use chopsticks, but I prefer spoons and forks.

I like boneless because it’s breast meat.

Yeah, @ARE_you_kidding_me, considering that buffalo sauce is fully half butter, the low-fat meat is a major plus.

I use straight-up Frank’s hot sauce from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo on my wings. No need to add anything else. Frank’s is so tasty – I put it on everything. I’ve got a bottle beside the keyboard here – and one behind the mini-hard drive at my desk.

Boneless? Never. To me those are not wings. I don’t know what they are, but they aren’t wings.

Now if you had asked: drumsticks or flats – that’s another story.

@BellaB – When I’m tossing wings, I use a mixture of half-Frank’s, half-butter. It’s a recipe I got from a restaurateur friend. Hasn’t failed me yet.

Butter fucking rocks, so does white meat chicken, hot sauce and crispy deep fried batter. I prefer white meat chicken but not for health reasons

That said when I make them , I don’t use any butter. Franks is all I need. Drumsticks all the way if we are making bones mandatory.

Actually my favorite sauce for wings is cholula, the one with the wooden cap.

@ARE_you_kidding_me

Uh huh, huh huh, you said breast…jk…Just reminiscing about “Beavis and Butthead”
