What the f … excuse me, but what the hell?
Back in 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed against Buffalo Wild Wings accusing them of false advertising, claiming that the company’s boneless wings “are not wings at all” and “more akin, in composition, to a chicken nugget than a chicken wing.”
Are “boneless wings” really wings?

Well, fast forward to 2026, and the court has ruled that Buffalo Wild Wings‘ boneless wings aren’t considered to be deceptive. It took three years for a court to decide this. The court also pointed out that they’re “essentially chicken nuggets” and the wings aren’t de-boned.
“His complaint has no meat on its bones,” stated the court. “A reasonable consumer would not think that BWW’s boneless wings were truly deboned chicken wings, reconstituted into some sort of Franken-wing.” (RELATED: Forget Pineapple, People Are Now Putting Iguana On Their Pizza (And It Looks Pretty Good)
Our taxpayer dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.
Update: Court says “boneless wings” is not a deceptive name for BWW to use, even though they are “essentially chicken nuggets” and not de-boned wings.

Now as funny as this case is, and Lord knows I have plenty of chicken wing jokes that I could throw out here, I’m absolutely astounded how a court case like this could survive for three years. It explains a lot about our court system.
This is just another reason to hate jury duty, knowing that you’ll be associated with this goofy nonsense.
