According to the National Chicken Council, fans are expected to consume 1.45 billion of wings of chicken on Sunday during the match between the Kansas City Chiefs y Philadelphia Eagles.

This figure represents an increase of 2 percent compared to the sale of last year, that is, 84 million wings further.

“The two main reasons are more favorable prices and more people getting back on track and gathering for the Big Game, whether it’s at home or in a bar/restaurant,” National Chicken Council spokesman Tom Super said via of a statement. “While Americans are seeing the impact of inflation affecting almost every aspect of their lives, the prices of wings both wholesale and retail are down double digits from last year, according to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and consumers are seeing many more promotions.

“There are a lot of stories going into the game, Andy Reid against his old team, the Kelce brothers battle, [Patrick] Mohammed vs [Jalen] Hurts, but no history of the Super Bowl is better than the wings!”
