Why do they keep calling them "boneless wings"? (loin, chickens)

Because they couldn't come up with an original thought.

Buffalo Wings were first created in Buffalo, NY at the Anchor Bar back in the 1960's.

Here in WNY we are SERIOUS about our wings - boned or boneless.

OTOH, I much prefer the flats which are made up of juicier dark meat - subbing breast meat would be completely unacceptable to me.

Me too, I always request flats when I order wings. Got some last week and there was a $1 up charge for it, but that is the first place I have ever been to that did that.

That's actually a good point.

I was going to say mine did too, but then realized you're in the same area. BWW in Skokie?

No, in Randhurst Mall. I haven't gone to the Skokie location in a very long time.

Really??? Here, the drumettes are the favored portion, but I'd much rather have those flavorful flats.

Flats, drums and wing tips are all white meat.

However, the fat/skin to meat ratio is higher than breast meat, giving wings much more flavor.

Chicken wings are one of those food things I just don't get. I'd rather have boneless wings or the drumsticks as was mentioned upthread, rather than gnawing on a pile of greasy, gristly wings with very little food payoff.

Yes, they are...but somebody always makes the claim that they are dark meat. Greasy does not = dark meat, though. It only seems that way.
