Boneless Wings vs Chicken Tenders: What Is the Difference?

Boneless wings vs chicken tenders: what is the real difference? Boneless wings are not wings. They are bite-size pieces of white meat chicken, usually cut from the breast, and they are often tossed in wing sauce. Chicken tenders are longer strips of white meat. Both have no bones. At Tiffins ToGo, inside Urban Center Market, 387 E Las Colinas Blvd, Suite 106, Irving, TX 75039, the answer is even simpler. Our Boneless Bites are our own Chicken Tenders, cut into 8 pieces. So you get the same chicken in a different shape.

What are boneless wings?

Despite the name, boneless wings do not come from the wing. A chicken wing is mostly skin, bone and a small amount of meat, so there is no easy way to take the bone out and keep a wing shape. Restaurants instead cut white meat into bite-size pieces and serve them like wings, with wing sauce and a dip. The name tells you how the food is served, not where it comes from on the chicken.

What are chicken tenders?

Chicken tenders are strips of white meat. The name comes from the tenderloin, a small strip of meat under the breast, though many places also cut tenders from the breast itself. Tenders are bigger than boneless wings. You can hold one in your hand and dip it, which makes them a good pick for kids and for eating on the go.

Boneless wings vs chicken tenders: how do they compare?

The big practical difference is sauce. Small pieces have more surface, so each piece picks up more sauce. A tender has less sauce per bite and more chicken per bite. If you love sauce, go boneless. If you like to dip, go tenders.

How do Boneless Bites and Chicken Tenders work at Tiffins ToGo?

At our shop, the two are the same chicken. We take 3 of our Chicken Tenders and cut them into 8 pieces to make an order of Boneless Bites. One order is about 9 oz. We heat every order in our oven, since our kitchen has no fryer, and then toss it in the sauce you pick.

These are our in-store prices from the full menu. Prices on DoorDash and Uber Eats may differ. See the Boneless Bites page and the Chicken Tenders page for photos.

Boneless or tenders? Order either one for pickup or delivery before 7 PM:

• Order on DoorDash
• Order on Uber Eats

Which sauce works best on each?

Every chicken order comes with one free sauce and one free dip.

• Sauces: Buffalo, BBQ, Lemon Pepper or Honey Mustard.
• Dips: Ranch or Honey Mustard.

On Boneless Bites, a bold sauce like Buffalo or Lemon Pepper works well, because the small pieces carry a lot of sauce. On Chicken Tenders, a milder sauce like BBQ or Honey Mustard, with Ranch for dipping, is an easy pick. There is no wrong answer.

Should I order boneless wings or chicken tenders?

Here is a simple way to choose.

• Order Boneless Bites if you are eating at a desk, sharing with a group, or want a saucy snack with no bones.
• Order Chicken Tenders if kids are eating, if you want to eat by hand, or if you like to dip more than sauce.
• Order bone-in wings if you want a classic wing. See our post on buffalo wings in Irving TX.
• Order a mix for a group. Our guide to how many wings per person helps with the numbers.

You can add a 16 oz smoothie to any chicken order for +$4.99.

Are boneless wings the same as chicken nuggets?

Not quite. Nuggets are usually made from chopped or formed chicken. Boneless wings are usually pieces cut from whole white meat. Our Boneless Bites are cut from our own Chicken Tenders, so they are the same chicken as our tenders in a smaller shape.

Can I order chicken for a group?

Yes. For an office lunch, a mix of Boneless Bites and Chicken Tenders with two or three sauces covers most tastes. Send the date and headcount through our group orders page. You can also see more on our chicken tenders in Irving page.

How does delivery work?

1. Open the app you already use. Tap "Order on DoorDash" or "Order on Uber Eats", or scan a QR code with your phone camera.
2. Enter your address. The app tells you if your address is in range and shows its own total before you pay. We do not set delivery zones; the apps do.
3. Add notes for the driver. A building name, suite number or gate code helps the most.
4. Track the order. Both apps show the order from our counter in Suite 106 to your door.

We deliver via DoorDash and Uber Eats every day from 11 AM to 7 PM. Prices on the apps may differ from our in-store prices, so check the total in the app before you pay.
