Buffalo Wild Wings has responded to a lawsuit claiming its boneless wings aren’t actually made from wings, with the restaurant confessing to the allegations.
A Chicago Man filed a lawsuit against the chicken wing chain last week for false advertising, claiming the boneless wings are too expensive because they are essentially chicken nuggets.
Aimen Halim alleges in the lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings and franchisor Inspire Brands, Inc. that the boneless wings are just “slices of chicken breast meat fried like wings”, and that customers would pay less for the boneless wings or wouldn’t buy at all if they knew what the product was made of.
“This clear case of false advertising should not be allowed because consumers should be able to rely on the plain meaning of a product’s name and receive what they are promised,” the lawsuit said, according to FOX TV Stations.

Now, Buffalo Wild Wings is sarcastically confirming the lawsuit claims while revealing well-known facts that other foods they sell do not contain what is included in the product name.
“It’s true,” the restaurant chain tweeted on Monday. “Our boneless wings are made entirely of white chicken meat. Our burgers do not contain ham. Our bison wings are 0% bison. »
In the lawsuit, Halim claimed to have purchased boneless wings from the restaurant in January, but regretted the purchase after learning what they were made of.

“As a result, Mr. Halim suffered financial harm as a result of the false and deceptive conduct of the defendants,” the lawsuit states.
Buffalo Wild Wings started sale of boneless wings about 20 years ago and they have become one of the most popular items on the menu, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint cites a news report indicating that restaurants have started selling boneless chicken wings due to rising costs for actual chicken wings and the reduced cost of chicken breasts.
