Well boneless wings has always been a bold faced lie anyway since they don't make them with wing meat.

I remember arguing on the phone with a person taking my order years ago the first time they offered me "white meat boneless wings" and I tried to point out that wings are dark meat not white meat so what they were selling wasn't really wings. They got pissed.

Are they still wings if they don't have feathers?

I've never seen dark wing meat. Drumsticks sometimes have darkish parts but it's no comparison to the color of actual dark meat
