Buffalo Wild Wings is reveling in a recent court victory - and inviting customers to join them.
"They’re called boneless wings and will forever be called boneless wings," the eatery said in a social media post on Thursday, Feb. 19. "Celebrate the court’s decision today with BOGO FREE boneless wings."
Earlier this week, a federal judge tossed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings that alleged the sports bar chain deceived customers by selling boneless wings that are not made of chicken wing meat. The wings are "essentially chicken nuggets," alleged the complaint, which was dismissed by Judge John Tharp Jr. as having "no meat on its bones."
The catch? Well, BOGO boneless wings are technically an every-Thursday deal, not just a post-court win celebration. The entire saga paired with Buffalo Wild Wings' triumphant boasting, however, reignited an age-old debate online: Are boneless wings actually wings?
Not everyone beneath the brand's post appeared to agree with the court's decision. In fact, more than a few users were incensed by the judge's protection of the term "wings" in "boneless wings."
