Boneless meat is meat that is not bone-in, i.e. does not have the bone attached. In general boneless cuts, while not as flavorful as those cooked bone-in, will cook faster and do not requiring eating around or carving around the bone.[citation needed]

Chicken

Boneless chicken typically does not have a skin, as this is removed during the process of removing the bones. For this reason, it is sometimes considered healthier. A downside is that the skin may help prevent the chicken from drying during cooking, so that it can have more moisture and flavor.[1]

Boneless chicken breast

An upside of boneless and skinless chicken breast is that it is versatile and easy to handle.[2]

Boneless chicken wings

Boneless chicken wings are not actually wings, but rather are typically formed from breast meat, which is faster to cook but not as succulent as real wings, which have skin, bone, and cartilage.[3] Part of producers' incentive to make boneless chicken wings is that wholesale chicken breast can be cheaper.[4]

Pork

Boneless pork chops are one of five types of pork chop, are "easier to work with", and can be used as a filling for sandwiches,[5][6] but can become dry and tough if not cooked properly, according to the Wall Street Journal, which recommends not cooking to above an internal temperature of 145 °F (63 °C).[6] Using cuts that are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick can also help prevent drying out.[5] Typically a boneless pork chop is a deboned rib or loin chop.[5]

Lamb

Boneless roast of lamb will not be as flavorful as one roasted bone-in, but it will cook faster and doesn't require skill to carve around the bone.[7]
