I think the bone gives meat more flavor.

Bone-in gives way more flavor; chicken wings, prime rib roast and pork shoulder. All have a better taste because of the marrow in the bone.
@Tropical_Willie,...Indeed especially prime rib roast…I even try to dig out the marrow from the bones…Thanks, Tropical_Willie.
I prefer boneless, but that’s mostly because I like to eat with a knife and fork rather than my fingers.
I’ve never seen boneless chicken wings, so I’m going to land on the side of the bones.
@dappled_leaves That’s because they can’t fly north without the bones in.
And for a serious answer, I prefer the bones in.
@Seek…No chopsticks?...jk…Thanks for your answer :)
Boneless here. I don’t like to be reminded of where meat comes from.
@dappled_leaves…Ha, I got that…I’ve seen them and even tried them…I prefer the unboned variety.
Bone in for sure. I want the extra flavour being cooked around the bone gives. It also means it’s been processed less, which is important to me.
@janbb…“That’s because they can’t fly north without the bones in”...Are you referring to buffaloes or chickens flying north?...jk.
I also prefer the bones in… Thanks for your reply.
@BellaB…“Bone in for sure”...Agreed.
Boneless. It’s less work. And I really don’t like the spice combination of “Buffalo” wings. But I like my wings every other way.
@azlotto That question reminds me of a funny ad from some years ago that ended: “Silly Daddy, buffaloes can’t fly!”
@azlotto – I’m great with chopsticks, but buffalo wings aren’t really chopstick food.
@Seek…I was joking, and yes, “buffalo wings aren’t really chopstick food”
I can also use chopsticks, but I prefer spoons and forks.
I like boneless because it’s breast meat.
Yeah, @ARE_you_kidding_me, considering that buffalo sauce is fully half butter, the low-fat meat is a major plus.
I use straight-up Frank’s hot sauce from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo on my wings. No need to add anything else. Frank’s is so tasty – I put it on everything. I’ve got a bottle beside the keyboard here – and one behind the mini-hard drive at my desk.
Boneless? Never. To me those are not wings. I don’t know what they are, but they aren’t wings.
Now if you had asked: drumsticks or flats – that’s another story.
@BellaB – When I’m tossing wings, I use a mixture of half-Frank’s, half-butter. It’s a recipe I got from a restaurateur friend. Hasn’t failed me yet.
Butter fucking rocks, so does white meat chicken, hot sauce and crispy deep fried batter. I prefer white meat chicken but not for health reasons
That said when I make them , I don’t use any butter. Franks is all I need. Drumsticks all the way if we are making bones mandatory.
Actually my favorite sauce for wings is cholula, the one with the wooden cap.
