Chicken wing shortage ahead of Super Bowl

Blazing Wings

The Dec. 1 Chapter 11 reorganization filing of Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. of Pittsburgh, Texas, has reduced the nation’s wing supply, Buffalo suppliers say.

 

 

Add to this the fact that national wing demand this time of year far exceeds that of other times, like chocolates around Valentine’s Day.

The combination has made prices soar, suppliers say.

“Forty pounds (of wings) would be like $85,” Sam Musolino, owner of Sammy’s Pizzeria in nearby Niagara Falls, N.Y., tells WIVB-TV, Buffalo.

He used to pay only half that amount, he says

Musolino says he is so fed up with how much he’s paying for wings that he’s calling on other suppliers to boycott them Monday.
