Recently Wendy's has been running ads banging on Applebees and TGIFridays over "boneless chicken wings'. This drives me up the bloody wall, there is no such thing as a "boneless chicken" let alone a "boneless chicken wing" that is nothing but a McNugget dipped in buffalo wing sauce... The world has enough oxymorons in it.
I can't even tell you how much advertising drives me nutty. I bust my butt every day trying to come up with honest ads that make sense, and I flip on the tv to hear things like, "20% more flavor". What the hell does that mean? How can you even quantify flavor with a number, and not even define what type of flavor???? Crap has a flavor too. And what in the hairy hell does KFC's new campaign mean, "Unthink". Every time I think about that one I want to punch a baby in the face with another baby. How did that agency get the millions they charged KFC for that gem of idiocy? Sorry. /rant
I would love to see a campaign with that image as the basis!!! Come on E-Trade take it to the next level!!!
It also has enough morons, too. Who do you think believes this advertising crap, anyway? It's all pointed to the lowest common denominator, or the most likely to spend their money.
The Wendys I frequent doesnt even fully sauce them. They are just dry nuggets with some sauce drizzled over them. And they aren't even the same nuggets you get when you order nuggets (which are pretty good). I like Wendys but the boneless thing really bugs me. The worst of the false advertisers is McDonalds though. Ever see the visual in any of their ads for the big mac and compare that to one you bought? The meat barely covers half the bun width but in the ad it shows edge to edge. It's a horrible rip off. Come on Wendy at least bother to toss them in the sauce not just half azzed drizzle it over them. The oriental sauce is pretty good too but that doesn't help though since it's lazily drizzled over dry nuggets. Dave's got to be rollin in his grave.
Ok, so its a dark meat nugget. You know, I wouldnt be surprised if it is actually just a blend of chicken scraps, white and dark just shaped like a wing. And, the hot sauce they have at KFC, Wendys, etc is horrible. I don't know what they put in it, but it sure as hell doesnt taste like real hot sauce.
I missed the old McDonald nuggets. Before Carls jr. made fun of them in a commercial and they changed it to a more healthful version. Damn you carls junior (hardee),damn you!
Last time I checked, you didn't have to be a chef to cook hot wings. They may taste good, but they ain't wings! lol
Well I said the chef part because someone said it was disgusting to like them, more or less, and that they were a chef. They arent the best tasting things in the universe but they taste really good.
I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. The labor costs would be a killer if they were actually boning out the wing. If you actually going to do it properly it wouldn't be commercially viable.
You just know they simply drop the "wings" in a vat and remove the meat chemically, then chop it and press it, add nitrates (that can mean dookie by products) and flavorings and call it a "boneless wing". There is not some little old lady in Arkansas with a parrying knife doing work on a chicken carcass...reminds me of the Naked Gun film and the hot dog with the ring in it... but even with all that...it is still not a "boneless wing"...it's a mcnugget with sauce on the thing
None of this changes the fact that it tastes good. Gross? Sure, that is kind of gross sounding but it still TASTES damn good.
A McNugget is a specific product, and only served at one chain. Chicken nuggets are generic. A "boneless wing" is not a McNugget.
Absolutely it can be, Wendy's can call their mcnugget a boneless wing if they wish, it does not make a wing that is boneless.
No his point is that a Mcnugget is a food served at McDonalds. Wendys does not have McNuggets, they have chicken nuggets.
Oh crap ... you're in advertising? Well, that explains everything. In all fairness, half of what are called "normal" Buffalo wings are actually drumettes.
I went to the 2005 Dolphins home game vs the Bills. That was the first time I brought a turkey fryer to a tailgate party to cook hot wings. I made the Bills fans ask for 'Miami wings' or pay $5 for a plate. Most of the Bills fans laughed and asked for the Miami wings. After the comeback win for Miami, we fired the fryer up again but this time, I served 'Buffalo wings' fried deep and crispy..just like the Bills. So on Sunday, we'll be serving up 'Falcon wings' at the tailgate
Yep...143 hours until the season starts for the Dolphins, hot wings are a key element of a fan's preseason preparations... No chopped, pressed, and dunked amount of chicken should every be called a "boneless wing" not on my in game day plate...no Sir...not gonna happen... J/K of course.
Some of the best tasting things in the world are cheap. But processed chicken nuggets aren't one of them. They're dry and lack texture and the batter and sauce are on the very ordinary side. Give me fried jellyfish and vietnamese dipping sauce any day of the week, and I don't even particularly like jellyfish.
Well if you like eating gross sounding things that taste good how are you on lamb's liver with a side of blood pudding?
Never had. Some things sound so gross you can't eat them, however Wendys chicken isn't one of those things to me. Just had some in fact.
Yeah the Wendy's boneless wing is just a nugget in some sauce. When I first tried them, I was verrrry disappointed.
My favorite is honey bar b Q wings, or italian wings from Fox's pizza. I'm not good with real spicy or hot.
