A Chicago man has sued Buffalo Wild Wings for calling fried chicken breast meat 'wings,' arguing that they are instead chicken nuggets, which makes this a 'clear-cut case of false advertising.'
When a restaurant fries up a chunk of chicken breast, covers it in Buffalo sauce and calls it a wing, is it a harmless little issue of semantics, or consumer fraud?
"Unbeknownst to plaintiff and other consumers, the products are not wings at all, but instead, slices of chicken breast meat deep-fried like wings," the lawsuit reads."Indeed, the products are more akin, in composition, to a chicken nugget rather than a chicken wing." "It's true," read the tweet on Monday."Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo."Some commenters didn't see the humor."Chicken nuggets. They’re chicken nuggets," wrote another. And another:"Nice try but Buffalo stands for the city not the animal. Your wings should be real. Stop being deceptive.""This lawsuit is so stupid," one user wrote.
The company should have changed the name of boneless wings to something more appropriate, like chicken poppers, the lawsuit said, pointing to other restaurants who make clear what they are selling.
