I don't think there's any question that bone-in are better, and honestly boneless aren't even "wings".
However.
Fuck elitism. I will eat fried, breaded chicken slathered in tasty sauce in pretty much any form, quite happily.
Plus, as far as stretching the ol' food dollar goes... If I get a fixed number of "wings" with an order, I'd rather get 7 boneless wings than 7 bone-in wings, for the same price. Probably 2-3 times the actual food. The price for bone-in wings is sometimes kinda crazy. I mean, I get that every four pieces means another chicken died, but still. They used to be cheap scrap pieces that then got popular.
