Some good news we can all get behind! The chicken wings pricing has been too damn high for too long, looking forward to the days of unlimited wings coming soon!

The Department of Agriculture's price index for chicken wings is now at levels not seen since 2018...

Wingstop president and CEO Michael Skipworth said the company would start to see deflation in prices for bone-in chicken wings. On July 28, the company said prices had fallen nearly 19% year-over-year in its fiscal second quarter.

Good news. In the Spring of 2021 I took out a loan for a 20 piece at Hooters that I will be paying off into my 60s

Rebound from a bird flu outbreak. CoVID has nothing to do with it.

This feels like the time they told us we'd save 16 cents on hotdogs

That's cool and all, but my life doesn't operate on chicken wings

This just means more profit for Wingstop. They won't lower their prices.

Last Saturday I paid $9 bucks for 15 Sanderson Farms wings that needed separating into 30 pieces. I thought that was good. $1.89/pound.

Have been like that for some time now. Immediately everyone thinks it will be cheaper on the menu not thinking that extra profit margin is being used to pay for something else. Overall, it is not cheaper to operate my restaurant or execute my menu

Somehow, Zaxby's hasn't found out about it. $32 for 20 wings and large fries for me and my son to split watching a football game.

They've come down $2.00 at Walmart. I don't remember them being $12.98 in 2018 though.
