US Consumers Are Expected to Consume a Record Number of These on Super Bowl Sunday

We will say this: chicken wings with sauce are not subject to discussion for Super Bowl Sunday. Regardless of whether you are accepting their coating with a honey barbecue or a spicy buffalo sauce, it seems that we simply cannot get enough snacks on any game day.

In fact, US consumers are expected to go to 1.47 billion chicken wings this Sunday, according to the new report of the National Council for Kuritz. This marks an increase of 1.5% – about 20 million more wings – compared to last year’s game, when the hunger audience enjoyed about 1.42 billion during the interpretation of 2024 between the leaders and 49ers.

The data consider only retail sales, as the senior vice -president of communications explains Tom Super, therefore, probably, even more occurs outside the passage. Nevertheless, this is not a small number: when the National Chicken Council is destroyed, this number shakes every person in the United States, pressing about four wings apart (although, of course, we could eat more). Sales of chicken wings also remained strong throughout the play -off, increasing by 12% for four weeks ending on January 19 compared to the previous period.

Super informs Food & Wine that this year is excreted, since a non -profit trading organization usually predicts 2% annual chicken production growth. Last year’s forecasts were unchanged, but he attributes a modest growth this year by a 1.5% decrease in chicken production throughout the country, the consumption has still increased in annual calculus. This is not too surprising if you did not lag behind the news: poultry farming focuses on malfunctions with deliveries and costs of a serious flash of the H5N1 virus or bird flu is growing.

Large environmental factors also play a role. Since the National Kuritz Council shares with food and wine, destructive January forest fires in Los -Ageles violated retail sales within one week during the play -off, which led to a brief reduction in the market by 2.2% compared to a year ago.

The city of Southern California is still one of the largest markets for chicken wings among the native cities of the play -off teams, after Washington, the district of Colombia and Philadelphia. First of all, Baltimore, of course, gained his weight: the house of Voronov turned out to be the best market for chicken wings this season.

It is necessary to refresh how these crispy fried snacks have become so rooted in our culture of the Super Cup? Here is a history lesson for you: Buffalo Wings, initially an American creation, can be traced to their title Western New York. Stories of accurate origin differ (as with most legendary recipes), but we can say with confidence that they were born in a family restaurant and bar in Buffalo, New York, in the 1960s. Since then, we have served them with crumbs of celery and blue cheese.

Bottom line: If the wings are your favorite Gameday snack, you are certainly in a good company.
