They have bone in wings now, and this is definitely one of them.
... Are you telling me you don't usually have bones in wings?
It's not a "usually" thing, but yes there are bone-in and boneless (aka de-boned) chicken wings available in the USA. It's quite common for establishments, especially fast food or convenience restaurants, to offer both options but not all places offer both.
The higher quality boneless wings are typically made from drumettes like the piece in OPs picture above, but with the meat pulled off the bone. It's often cut into "nuggets", breaded, and deep fried. Sometimes other cuts of meat are used, though, like the breast.
The lower quality boneless wings are usually just barely more than ground up chicken parts mixed with binding agents, similar to mass produced chicken nuggets but usually not quite as uniform in shape and texture. Basically one step up from "pink slime" or chicken dough based nuggets.
Thank you for your comment.
That was definitely with bone. And so pitiful we wondered if the chickens were even fed.
It's not a wing.
That's not a wing, that's a drumstick. Can confirm, not only did I take the photo, I also ate it.
Yeah, no. It's a wing that got mixed into your order, like getting a fry in your onion rings.
It's not an uncommon occurrence, especially at places where the employees aren't paid enough to give a fuck.
Except the order was a 12 piece legs and thighs. Was no accident that they gave us 6 of these janky wannabe 'legs'.
I'm completely with you. I got KFC (just breasts and legs) and these were the legs I got. My only explanation is that the other comments in this thread are right and we got scammed because it's "close enough"
I'm gathering that as well, and we should all take this knowledge and spread the news.
