  Depends honestly. I 100% prefer bone chicken because I eat pretty much every edible part of the bone too, but inedible bones like ribs, not so much
context: "Meat-to-work" ratio is the best phrase! >
  
  I love steamed crabs (from Maryland) so I can appreciate a bad meat-to-work ratio if it’s really good meat, it can still be less quantity to work >
  
  Just said to myself, "This MF never picked a crab." >
  
  I applaud you for actually posting an unpopular opinion >
  
  He posted factually incorrect opinion since proper ribs easily fall off the bone to begin with and chicken isn't hard at all to eat off a bone. OP doesn't know how to cook or where to go for proper food. >
  
  Bones affect the moisture of the meat, they are left in for a good reason. When you cook boneless meat, you usually need some other way to maintain the moisture, which is why they tend to be cooked in a pan or deep-fried >
  
  Bones help the moister of the food while cooking. If the bones bother you then maybe try smoking rips from now on. A properly smoked rack will fall off the bone fairly easily. >
  
  Boil for 2 hours then coat in your favorite bbq sauce and throw em on the grill on high for 3-5 min per side to carmelize brushing on more bbq as needed. They come out perfect every time. >
  
  Mmm chicken water >
  
  Boiling would just help soften them up. When you grill them outright they’re typically really dry. >
  
  You're absolutely right. Tell you what, just give me all your messy, labour intensive ribs and wings, I'll take care of it for you :) >
  
  Labour intensive??? Bro, you that unathletic that eating your food is tiring??? Ripping some meat takes too much energy for it to be worth it? >
  
  Yeah this is just a really shit take. Might as well blend down your food into a smoothie since that’ll take the least effort to eat lmao >
  
  I really like bone foods, HOWEVER, I hate eating them at restaurants because of how messy they are. I barely ever order them at a restaurant because it feels embarrassing to make a mess of myself while trying to eat them. >
  
  What ribs are you eating that are labor intensive? Quality ribs, that were cooked right, should basically fall off the bone. >
  
  That was my first thought too lol. Chicken wings is a different story but good ribs should quite literally slip right off the bone >
  
  Your not cooking your ribs right if you are having to work for the meat. >
  
  First unpopular opinion I really read here. >
  
  I agree completely but eating ribs in the kitchen like a raccoon brings out a primal part of me from time to time, and doing that in front of friends is even more satisfying. >
  
  Wait until you try Crawdads >
  
  Chief. Labour intensive would be hunting the animal, killing it, butchering it, and then finally eating it. >
  
  And I think part of the appeal of bone in meat is that it is traditionally the only meat that existed. Get it while you can before were all eating protein synthesized from algae. >
  
  Man you must suck at eating lol. Do you need a training montage of eating these foods. Cause you literally just bite into it hell some ribs literally fall off the bone >
  
  Lmao imaging a training montage for eating ribs, with inspiring 80s rock sound track. Eye if the Tiger with footage of a tiger chewing on a carcass comes to mind. >
  
  The Meat of The Tiger. BUM....BUM BUM BUM >
  
  You ain't had good ones. School drumsticks are awful, but fried chicken is great, and wouldn't be that much better without the bone. Also, have you ever had ribs? If done right, they're so easy to eat >
  
  There is a relationship between how tough a cut of meat is and how flavourful it is. Muscle attached to the bone is often some of the hardest working muscles, is tough, and is therefore some of the most flavourful meat. If cooked well, often slowly at low temperatures to make it tender, they are among the best cuts of meat. >
  
  Is it the hardest working muscles that taste the best, or the most fat marbled? Honest question. >
  
  counterpoint: bones are handles. >
  
  I highly agree with this opinion. 
  However I take it a step further. I just hate eating off bones. I will not pick them up and chew on them. I'm very good at cutting the meat off now and usually end up giving my bones to other people since I just cut the meat off. My parents think it's great >
  
  "Alone in the kitchen like a racoon"
  I feel that deep in my own bones lol >
  
  Ribs are fine, wings are terrible? Kinda. >
  
  Ribs and chicken wings are among my favourites, i don't mind the mess and the "labour".
