The annual Chicken Wing
Report by the National Chicken Council estimates that Americans will consume
1.35 billion wings during Super Bowl weekend, an all-time high. The report
released Thursday says the number of wings that will be consumed during next
weekend’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots
is up 20 million wings, or 1.5 percent from last year. NCC spokesperson Tom
Super assured consumers “there will be no wing shortage” to contend with when
heading out to the grocery store before the big game. The number of wings
consumed, according to NCC is enough to put 625 wings on every seat in all 32
NFL stadiums. The report also finds that 59 percent of U.S. adults who eat
chicken wings say they typically like to eat their wings with ranch dressing.
Further, according to the survey, 60 percent of wing eaters prefer traditional,
bone-in wings while 40 percent chose boneless.
