I'd like to try boneless chicken "wings" that were cooked with the meat still on the bone. I'm not sure how that'd work... Bone-in tastes better, but I really hate having to chew around bones/gristle/cartilage, and having the whole thing coated in sauce makes them really messy eats (which sucks when you need to eat and work at the same time).

I have never tried them, but I think boneless wings are just strips of chicken breast cooked and then have the sauce added later.

They're usually just oversized nuggets with buffalo sauce either in the breading or served on the side. Meat cooked with the bones in usually tastes better (I think it's the collagen), but you can't do the forming process after the meat's cooked so you'd end up with mostly chicken bits (which is fine for gravy) and a few longer strips (which is fine for a salad), but not so much for anything approaching an entree.

Well sure, if you cook it wrong... It's the same with most any meat. Once I even managed to dry out sausage.
