National Chicken Wing Compromise

What are Boneless Chicken Wings? Let’s be honest – they are bite-size pieces of chicken breast that have be prepared much the same way you would wings. There’s nothing “wing” about it. But it is a compormise.

For reasons we do not understand, Kiddo doesn’t like chicken or steak or ribs for that matter still on the bone. It really doesn’t matter how many times I’ve explained to him that the bone added flavor you can’t get any other way, he will pick at the outer edge and never come near the bone. It’s a waste of food and it drives me crazy.

Hubby and I both love chicken wings. We love it any way you make it. I’ve even made Chicken Adobo (Filipino Adobo) using chicken wings and served that as an appetizer. My favorite wing has to be Lemon Pepper. Hubby’s is probably a toss up between Buffalo and Barbecue. Kiddo likes Buffalo Chicken Nuggets. So while this is National Chicken Wing Day, we’re making ours boneless. And that’s okay.

Have an amazing day!
