  It’s not a “usually” thing, but yes there are bone-in and boneless (aka de-boned) chicken wings available in the USA. It’s quite common for establishments, especially fast food or convenience restaurants, to offer both options but not all places offer both.

  The higher quality boneless wings are typically made from drumettes like the piece in OPs picture above, but with the meat pulled off the bone. It’s often cut into “nuggets”, breaded, and deep fried. Sometimes other cuts of meat are used, though, like the breast.

  The lower quality boneless wings are usually just barely more than ground up chicken parts mixed with binding agents, similar to mass produced chicken nuggets but usually not quite as uniform in shape and texture. Basically one step up from “pink slime” or chicken dough based nuggets.

    Thank you for your comment.

    That was definitely boned. And so pitiful we wondered if the chickens.were even fed.

  It’s not a wing.
