A Nebraska man went to the mat Monday, making an impassioned call on the Lincoln City Council to consider a radical move and rename boneless chicken wings.
Ander Christensen made his plea that boneless chicken wings are not, in fact, not wings from a chicken.
Those present at the meeting could be heard giggling, according to The Hill.
“I don’t go to order boneless tacos. I don’t go and order boneless club sandwiches,” Christensen said.
“We need to raise our children better. Our children are raised being afraid of having bones attached to their meat. That’s where meat comes from. It grows on bones. We need to teach them that the wing of a chicken is from a chicken, and it’s delicious,” he added.
Christensen suggested that the city call the dish “Buffalo-style chicken tenders,” “wet tenders,” “saucy nuggs” or “trash.”
“We can take these steps and show the country where we stand and that we understand that we’ve been living a lie for far too long” he concluded. “We know it because we feel it in our bones.”
