Ones made with processed (ground or emulsified) meat, the other is made from real breasts.

They’re not the same.

They aren’t. But I’ve seen people order boneless wings and out comes sauced chicken nuggets.

Than those aren’t boneless wings, those are nuggets incorrectly sold as. Don’t support that shit. I would send those right back.

Evolution of boneless technology. First there were nuggets, then tenders, now wings. Eventually, we'll all just be ordering one deep fried sauce-bird.

I’m pretty sure that boneless wings are white meat that has been cut to a certain size.

Nuggets are ground meat that has been pressed into a shape, and may have additives (emulsifiers, starches, salt, preservatives etc.) mixed in.

Bonus: “tenders” are a specific cut of white meat, the tenderloin.

Just call them Tenders and PreTenders.

Pretty sure the term boneless wing exists because it is a wing that is boneless.

Orange chicken is a dish.
