Man pleads with city council to remove the name 'boneless chicken wings' from restaurants because 'nothing about boneless chicken wings actually come from the wing of a chicken'

There are big things going on in the world: the pandemic, the upcoming election, massive protests against police brutality. But Lincoln, Nebraska's Ander Christensen wanted to talk with the city about something a bit less heavy...chicken wings.

"I go into nice family restaurants and see people throwing this name around and pretending as though everything is just fine," he told the city council. "I’m talking about boneless chicken wings."

"I propose that we as a city remove the name boneless wings from our menus and from our hearts," he said. "These are our reasons why: Number one, nothing about boneless chicken wings actually come from the wing of a chicken. We would be disgusted if a butcher was mislabeling their cuts of meats, but then we go around pretending as though the breast of a chicken is its wing?"

He then added: "Number two: Boneless chicken wings are just chicken tenders, which are already boneless. I don't go to order boneless tacos. I don't go and order boneless club sandwiches. I don't ask for boneless auto repair. It's just what's expected."
