As with other food products, demand for poultry has soared amid the pandemic and as Super Bowl Sunday -- a day dedicated to chicken wing consumption -- approaches, restaurants and supermarkets are planning ahead.
Americans are expected to consume nearly 1.42 billion wings during Super Bowl LV, according to the National Chicken Council, and can expect to pay more for them. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's latest chicken retail report, the price of chicken wings per pound, is up by more than $1 compared to the same time last year. An eight-piece order of wings has increased by nearly $3 on average from last year, according to the USDA.

I still remember when chicken wings were a throw away or 1 lb for a quarter.

Here is an old summer 2021 article. If there is a chicken wing shortage, consider thighs as a substitute

There's a chicken wing shortage. So this chain wants you to start loving thighs
Chicken wing prices are going through the roof. So Wingstop, a chain known for, well, wings, is now selling chicken thighs. But getting Americans on board could be a challenge.
