Are boneless wings just nuggets? Buffalo Wild Wings lawsuit dismissed
A lawsuit alleging Buffalo Wild Wings misled customers about boneless wings being made of chicken wing meat was dismissed by a federal judge.Summary
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings claiming the restaurant chain deceived customers by marketing “boneless wings” that are not actual chicken wings. The plaintiff, Aimen Halim, argued the product should be labeled “chicken poppers” as he believed boneless wings were simply chicken wings without bones. However, Judge John Tharp Jr. ruled that the term “boneless wings” is a common one and consumers would not reasonably be misled. Buffalo Wild Wings celebrated the decision on social media, stating “They’re called boneless wings and will forever be called boneless wings.” Despite the court’s ruling, the debate continues online, with many questioning whether boneless wings are essentially chicken nuggets.
