Boneless wings
A relatively new item on the fast-food menu is the boneless wing, a popular product in the Americas that isn’t a wing at all. Boneless wings are not chicken wings with their bones removed; they are pieces of breast meat cut into the shape of chicken wings. Thus, their processing is entirely different, taking place in the deboned breast meat department with the help of an I-Cut 122 portion cutter.They differ from chicken nuggets in that nuggets are mostly made from ground breast meat formed into bite-sized cubes, battered and fried. Boneless wings are portioned pieces of unground whole-muscle chicken breast that are battered, fried and immersed in classic chicken wing sauces.
To consumers, boneless wings are easier to eat, appear healthier with their lean meat, and are more affordable than real bone-in wings. Nevertheless, bone-in wings still make up over 60% of QSR restaurant wing sales in the USA.
