Buffalo Wild Wings ADMITS boneless wings are not wings in response to customer’s dismissed lawsuit

Buffalo Wild Wings has hilariously confessed what we already knew – that their boneless wings are not technically wings.

The wild confession came in response to a judge throwing out a $9m lawsuit from an Illinois man who claimed that boneless wings are, in fact, overpriced chicken nuggets – which of course have no bones.

‘It’s true,’ the restaurant chain posted to Twitter. ‘Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken.’

And it joked: ‘Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo.’

Aimen Halim was left unhappy with the food he bought at a chain in Mount Prospect, Illinois in January and compared it to chicken nuggets

Chicago man, Aimen Halim’s lawsuit – filed against Buffalo Wild Wings and owner Inspire Brands – claimed their famed boneless wings are just ‘slices of chicken breast meat deep-fried like wings’. 

He sought $9,999,000 in damages and said customers should either pay less for the boneless wings or not purchase them at all if they knew what the product was actually made of.

‘This clear-cut case of false advertising should not be permitted, as consumers should be able to rely on the plain meaning of a product’s name and receive what they are promised.’

Mr Halim was under the impression the boneless wings were just de-boned and in his claim said Buffalo Wild Wings should not be allowed to falsely advertise its products.

And he said if the company was being transparent with its customers it ‘could readily change the name’ to boneless chicken and pointed to the case of its competitors who have named similar products ‘chicken poppers’. 

‘Chicken wings are a more premium and desirable product than a product made of chicken breast meat,’ the lawsuit stated.

‘Therefore, plaintiff and consumers have suffered injury in fact, as a result of defendants’ deceptive practices.’

In 2020, a Nebraska man made an impassioned plea to his City Council to remove the name boneless wings from menus in the city.

‘Nothing about boneless chicken wings actually comes from the wing of a chicken,’ he said. 

‘We would be disgusted if a butcher was mislabeling their cuts of meats, but then we go around pretending as though the breast of a chicken is its wing?’
