hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and
everyone watching welcome one and also this newest edition of the running on empty food review series
i'm your host the report of the week thank you for being here thanks for for checking in
this is incredible my gosh is this incredible
arby's is breaking they're they're breaking everything no one can even think straight
anymore because this is just such an insane release arby's has introduced boneless wings
to the menu and get this not only have they introduced one type of boneless wing
but they've introduced two types of boneless wings and you might say well why are you saying it that
way because i know otherwise if i say that at a normal speed it's going to be too much
it's just going to be too much yeah arby's though they're releasing some boneless wings to the menu
and um there actually has been some hype about this i'm actually hyped up about them i'm a uh
i am a boneless wing fanatic you know i really am i'm all about that boneless wing
life and uh i'm excited about it a lot of other people are though too and that's why i wanted to
make sure to review these um because quite frankly and granted i'm not saying this to try to you know
this isn't an attack on arby's or anything just from my observations there isn't usually a lot
of hype surrounding new releases from arby's and i don't know why that is just a lot of people um
they just kind of shrug it off they kind of just blow it off and they just like ah it's arby's
whatever i don't really care um but surprisingly people have actually been interested in these
boneless wings and uh like i said i know i am i think it'll be interesting to try out so this is
going to be a double review because i don't know why i don't know if they usually come in these
or not but i've got two types of boneless wings here i mean you know both types classic buffalo
which i think is pretty self-explanatory you know it's just supposed to be irregular buffalo wings
um they said flavorful but with a kick and then they also have one in a hot honey sauce which
obviously is supposed to be sweet and spicy they say it comes with honey lime a little bit of lime
that's going to be an interesting addition a smoky flavor but you know again a little bit of heat
price for them you can get them in six counts 10 count i got them in six piece um each six piece
can come with fries for the price of five dollars so five bucks for six wings with some fries on
the side again classic buffalo and hot honey so it's interesting though that both of them are uh
you know they're supposed to pack a little bit of a punch spice wise
what am i even trying to say spice wise all right there we go power of the wings let me tell you
but anyway what i'm going to do i'm going to open them up and you'll be able to look in at them and
then again i'm just going to uh go right into it i'm going to try each one separately of course
give a little assessment and uh that'll be that what do you think so again these are
the the buffalo ones what do they call them hot classic buffalo and these are the hot honey wings
all right are these going to be a game changer i don't know
there's a potential thumbnail anyway i'm going to get close up like this
and then i'll i'll get a there's a close-up though you could just see them anyway thumbnail or not
right you can see those are the um you could easily differentiate them the buffalo ones
are more of an orange hue whereas on the left the ones that almost slid off the plate that's
the hot honey that's what they look like though and again i'll get one more thumbnail like this
good enough i know i'm going to be able to do something with that so anyway
you'll get some closer views of them when i try them out first
ones i'm going to try are going to be the classic buffalo ones with this fork
we will skewer this one all right
yeah i'm a wing i'm i'm a buffalo wing now
that's the worst joke i've said in a long time there it is though again you can see it's breaded
i think standard boneless wing affair looks like a good amount of sauce on it
so we're going to try it out the classic buffalo boneless wings from arby's going in
boneless wings
not bad not bad at all i must say actually
you know if you would believe it now if you're a regular viewer if you're not that's fine too
you may remember that i tried out you remember this is just the fact remember i tried out
those ghost pepper nuggets from burger king and they were marketed as being really really spicy
in terms of spice these are way hotter than that i mean i kid you not
um spice level these wings blow that out of the water let me tell you
i like them i mean i i like them i think they're solid i really have to say
there's more spice to these um the buffalo ones than you would think now that's not to say that
these are you know extremely extremely spicy um you know but compared to the usual stuff that
you get from fast food that they say oh this is going to be so spicy and then it never is
um this legitimately does pack a punch and our beast i gotta give them credit
i i have to give them credit here there is some spice to it nice balance though
the chicken is good quality i mean i got to give them credit really tender juicy um
it just tastes good very flavorful and i would say good quality chicken
i like that there's still a little bit of a balance a little bit of a crunch in terms of
the breading but it's not overwhelming you know to the point where it's just you know just too um
too soft or too hard it's just a good balance what's especially good is the amount of sauce
it is it is thoroughly coated you're going to get that sauce in every bite and it's a robust um it's
a robust buffalo sauce not precisely sure what the what the specific pepper is in this case and
i don't just want to you know pull something out of a hat and say i think it's this or that when
there's that uncertainty um perhaps if i reviewed the ingredients i'd be able to tell but whatever
it is certainly packs a uh packs a kick and uh the spice is lingering it hits you immediately
but it it it does linger a bit i actually have to have a little bit of a runny nose from it
that's not to say that i'm any sort of spice connoisseur but
you know if something is spicy i'll tell it like it is and and these are
so main point about the the buffalo flavor spicy flavorful and uh quite good i think
it's everything that they implied that it would be so i think they really hit the mark on these
so that said out of ten i'm going to be giving the um classic buffalo wings from RV's a uh
i give it an 8.5 out of 10 solid i'm happy with them quite happy
all right going to clean the fork ever so slightly and let's take another sip of water here
cleanse the palate
because the next type of chicken wings i'm going to be trying are the hot honey flavor
again you've gotten a view of them but now we're gonna get the next one this looks good
like like like i said um this looks like it's a little bit of a thicker sauce you can see
that glaze on them though look at that and uh well coated once again so we'll be trying that out now
the hot honey boneless wings from Our Bees going in
i'll take a bite out of this one one more for the heck of it
just a cross section you can see it's pretty standard in terms of its appearance
boneless wings
hope everyone out there had a a nice halloween a happy halloween as well had a i had a good day
i wasn't out wilding or uh or partying or anything but it was just it was a good halloween you know
what costume i went with you wouldn't believe it i went with this guy who does these videos on
youtube i don't know if you ever heard of him or not he's called re review bro and um i put on the
suit and everything and it's you know yeah i think he's called review dude or something like that
all right the hot honey wings quality of the chicken and all of that is exactly as
uh as described previously so there's nothing to really say there it's it's
identical to the the buffalo ones um sauce-wise it's a good but one one clarification
i think the name and this is how it is it makes you think that especially if you've
already had the buffalo ones you're gonna think okay these they call hot right hot
honey wings it's gonna be sweet and oh it's gonna be spicy right it's gonna this tie is to turn red
and then it's going to undo itself and it's going to like slither across the table like a snake
and then my wing collar is going to start flapping like a bird and it's just going to
fly off right into the abyss but that didn't happen obviously so so what's going on then
there's a little bit of spice to them but in terms of the spiciest wings again even though these
are described as hot the buffalo is much spicier what you're going to notice about these you will
notice a little bit of smokiness in the sauce but what's especially apparent is the sweetness
these wings are sweet and i think when you saw me going for the water there that wasn't because of
any residual spice but it was actually sorry there i had a minor camera issue had to free
up some space but that's on me but anyway i still have my train of thought what i was just saying is
that the sweetness is actually the most pronounced flavor here so you could really taste that honey i
would say more or less these are more like wings that are sweet with a little bit of smokiness
sure there is some spice but that's more of an afterthought as a matter of fact
trying to pay attention okay where's the spice where's the spice i could taste the sweetness
and a little bit of smokiness but spice in terms of how pronounced it is um definitely the buffalo
wings are the ones to go with so if you're getting these wings and you're thinking to yourself all
right i really want something hot uh definitely go with the buffalo ones because the hot honey ones
even though the name i think gives the impression that they're quite spicy they're still pleasant
they're enjoyable and i like the sweetness that they have to author author author they
published a book too um the bestseller actually but the um what i'm just trying to say is that
the spiciness is not overwhelming these are sweeter wings but they do a good job though still
but that's just the one thing to remember and just take into account quality wise though
like i said they're both good um out of ten therefore i'm going to be giving the hot honey
wings from Harvy's i'm just going to give that an 8 out of 10. again just because
it's not quite as advertised but still good so that's just why i'm giving that an 8 out of 10.
whereas i'm giving these an 8.5 out of 10 just because of those little differences but all in all
they're both good i'm impressed by them i think arby's did a good job with these chicken wings
and um honestly this is something that i would get again i legitimately enjoy these
i think they're solid i think the quality arby's did a good job i'm i'm happy with them
so with that that's all that i have for you today we tried out the boneless wings from
arby's the two different sauces the buffalo and the hot honey sauce now you know what they taste
like and that's all that i have for you until next time i'm your host thereportoftheweek
