Some debates never end: soccer, politics, and whether wings are better than boneless. Spoiler alert: we’re not going to settle it today, but we can help you decide.
What’s the Difference Between Wings and Boneless?
Wings are exactly what they sound like: chicken wings with the bone and skin intact. They’re cooked until golden and crispy, then tossed in sauce. Part of the fun is eating them with your hands and savoring every last bit off the bone.
Boneless, as the name suggests, are bone-free. They’re pieces of breaded, fried chicken breast tossed in sauce, too. They’re easier to eat and require less technique (and fewer napkins).
Which One Is Better?
It depends on you:
- Go for wings if you love crispy skin, a bolder flavor, and don’t mind getting your fingers messy.
- Go for boneless if you want an easy meal, something simple to share, or you’re on a date and want to keep your shirt clean.
What Are Buffalo Wings?
Buffalo sauce is an American classic: spicy, tangy, and buttery. At La Vicenta Tezontle, Alitas Búfalo are one of the favorite starters to share, especially when you’re out with friends.
How Many People Can Share an Order?
As a starter, one order is a good size for two or three people. If you’re in a bigger group or are serious chicken fans, order both wings and Boneless. Everyone gets to try both, and the debate turns into a taste test.
What Should You Pair Them With?
Combine them with other starters like Papas Valentinas, Nachos Vicenta, or Dip de Queso with bacon. And if you’re planning to order a steak afterward, make it one to share, because wings are a great way to kick-start your appetite.
A Tip from Us
Keep the napkins close and don’t be shy. Wings are meant to be eaten with your hands, or not eaten at all.
