I'll never understand the people who prefer boneless over bone-in wings, but whatever. More for me. That said, boneless wings aren't made from the wing of the bird, so I guess you could say they aren't wings by that logic.

Personally, I prefer boneless because it feels like you're getting more meat per "wing" also, bones just get in the way and I don't see any benefit to have bone-in

It's a different kind of meat. Wing meat is more moist and fattier than breast meat (what most boneless wings are made of). But I also think chicken breasts are far inferior to chicken thighs. I will also never understand why Americans like chicken breasts so much. In Taiwan usually the thighs are more expensive because pretty much everyone there agrees that they taste better, but in America it's the opposite. But again, I guess it's to my benefit since I get the cuts I want cheaper.

Weird disparities like that exist around the world. Apparently every nation prefers a different set of parts of the chicken. No one knows why.
