Boneless wings lack flavor and are often quite dry.

While we’re at it... Buffalo is a lowest common denominator sauce.

I have never been disappointed by Chick-Fil-A, except the time their manager insulted me and refused to serve me. “It’s Sunday, we’re not open today, get lost weirdo, how’d you find where I live anyways.” He was quite rude.

A true boneless wing will be made of wing, that it to say, dark meat. Nuggets are usually marketed as having all or mostly white meat. However, many have the consistency of particle board, so it’s hard to judge content.

Also, best nuggets are dinosaur nuggets.

Depends. B-Dub’s boneless wings are definitely nuggets. Or, more accurately, 20% nugget 80% breading. At some places though I’d argue the boneless wing is too large to qualify as a nugget and firmly enters “chicken tender” territory.

I’m with you, my friend. Breast is for sad fat people that are punishing themselves by eating food with no flavor.

The only way breast is ever good is if it is breaded/fried or soaked in large amounts of fat.

I have been disappointed by them. Long story, but you see they are fiercely Christian, so they love to donate food to local churches and groups that ask. Our youth minister was from Georgia and when he was planning food for a big event, he instantly thought of them and called one up asking for a donation.

Of course, the local CFA jumped at the opportunity and sent us somewhere around 700 of their sandwiches and containers of waffle fries, along with a bunch of huge salads and like hundreds of gallons of lemonade and sweet tea.

My first experience with them and I avoided them from them until my ex about 8 years ago swore up and down that they were good and I finally gave CFA another chance. So good...

You see, when their food gets cold in those foil bags, it gets soggy and inedible. The fries also got mushy. It was exceptionally disgusting. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want a mushy chicken sandwich with nothing but pickles on it... No condiments or no vegetation, either. It just seemed deeply wrong to my young SoCal-raised mind (already in Utah - a place with people with no taste).

So, basically, I experienced it once at like 14 years old and avoided it until I was about 30.

Lol. Damn you sound like a colleague I work with. She nearly blew an artery when I told her St. Patrick wasn’t Irish (she doesn’t seem to read much in the way of history books).

I learned a long time ago that many things you think you know are actually misknown.

No stereotyping or hating, ‘scotched’ are types of fine chopping meat to tenderise and a type of bar boiling eggs to preserve them making them last longer used back in the nineteenth century.

Yeah that’s honestly what keeps me from going to Chick-Fil-A more even knowing they stopped donating to those kinds of groups years ago. I rationalize by telling myself that was a small part of their total charitable contributions but it doesn’t really make me feel any better knowing I’m giving money to those kinds of people. Then again, you could find reasons to boycott pretty much any product you regularly consume but ignore them anyways so in the end we’re all just hypocrites I guess.

SVTyler > Dusty Ventures 04/13/2018 at 21:02

Yeah that’s a tender right there. On a related note, what’s the difference between a chicken tender and chicken finger? These are the kinds of questions that need to be answered.

With a high skin to meat ratio, they are more like dark meat in many ways.

A little bit of hot I can take but after a certain point it drowns out all other flavor in the food and then there’s no reward for putting up with the spiciness.

But they’re still not dark meat. White/dark meat is the result of how much activity/exercise the part of a bird gets. Because chickens don’t fly and rely entirely on their legs for movement the constantly active thighs and legs are dark while the breast and wings are white. If you were to cook a bird that actually flies you’d see dark meat in the wings and breast.

I had never heard that was where the name came from. All the English people I’ve spoke with about it claimed they were from Scotland.

Then again, I do like a scotch egg from time to time.

It also always seemed like it was based on the fact it was breaded and fried (which is stereotyped as something done to all Scottish food, which isn’t entirely inaccurate about certain types of food).

For the record, I consider Scottish food radically better than English food.

I’ve tried an overnight buttermilk/pickle juice brine with decent results, it’s just a lot of work for honestly not that much payoff. Would recommend trying though.

I like the process of cooking and trying new things is fun. Growing up my family made unseasoned chicken and well-done steaks so now that I have my own kitchen I get to do that.

It’s something many don’t think about, like most they associate ‘scotch’ with Scottish.

Fine chopped and tenderised meat is also accepted as scotched when the meat has been breadcrumbed.

It is weird how many Americans (Midwest especially) just have no clue about food, especially considering we’re a melting pot of different cultures. I’m from Indiana and pretty much everything I ate growing up was either beige or brown.

That’s pretty much why I only eat-in at Chick-Fil-A, I get the point of the foil bags but they just end up being humidifiers to make their food soggy. Even then their buns get a little sheen of condensation of the top...

I’m from Indiana and half the food I ate growing up was unseasoned so even something simple like a decent quality fried chicken sandwich was mind-blowing. I was like wow, chicken isn’t supposed to be dry and stringy and tough?

It’s about the amount of myoglobin in the muscle. Culinarily, it’s also about the fat amount. Apparently, chicken wings cook more like white than dark, so that if you use dark meat conditions, they’ll be dry.

I had a similar problem in SoCal (which had a huge number of midwestern immigrants that were still alive and/or their children that grew up on this bland stuff), but the fresh fruits/vegetables did help make it a bit healthier to some extent. UT was the worst, it made the bland food of my childhood seem positively flavorful. I’m up against the same fear of all spices here in the PWN now, too.

My cooking is heavy in fresh fruits/vegetables, spices, etc. It’s funny that my parents & siblings like my food (my wife is still not used to flavorful food), but they still make stuff that has no flavor.

Yeah, you must eat their food immediately for decent results. The fact is that a lot of food is like this, but their food suffers from it more than almost anyone else.

It’s not an imposition, though. My personal rule is that I eat in whenever possible and always walk in even when I’m taking out (only pizza). I also don’t do leftovers...
