Man sues Buffalo Wild Wings after realizing ‘boneless wings’ aren’t actually wings

A Chicago man is suing Buffalo Wild Wings for false advertising and “deceptive” business practices, alleging that he was duped into buying “boneless wings” that aren’t just boneless, but wingless as well.

Aimen Halim says he went to a Buffalo Wild Wings location in Mount Prospect, Illinois in January and purchased the dish, believing them to be deboned chicken wings. “Unbeknown to Plaintiff and other consumers, the Products are not wings at all, but instead, slices of chicken breast meat deep-fried like wings,” says the lawsuit, reported by the Washington Post. “Indeed, the Products are more akin, in composition, to a chicken nugget rather than a chicken wing.” Read more: Sazerac facing lawsuit for selling bottles of Fireball Cinnamon that don’t contain whisky Halim sued Buffalo Wild Wings and parent company Inspire Brands on Friday in the U.S.

The lawsuit is also filed on behalf of potentially “thousands” of other affected patrons. “Had Plaintiff and other consumers known that the Products are not actually chicken wings, they would have paid less for them, or would not have purchased them at all,” the suit argues. “Therefore, Plaintiff and consumers have suffered injury in fact, as a result of Defendants’ deceptive practices.” When Buffalo Wild Wings was asked to comment on the lawsuit, the popular chain sent a link to a recent tweet. “It’s true,” the post reads. “Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken.

Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo.” It’s true. Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham.
