Chicken wing shortage for Super Bowl Sunday? | News

Clearwater, Florida - The Super Bowl is just days away which means time is ticking to plan your party.

Chicken wings are obviously a staple food, but if they're on your menu, you need to order them now.

Americans will eat 1.23 billion, yes billion, chicken wings over this Super Bowl weekend.

To put that into perspective, if you laid 1.23 billion chicken wings end to end, they would stretch from Candlestick Park in San Francisco to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, not once, but 27 times!

Crews at Buffalo Wild Wings in Clearwater are fully aware and prepared for the chicken wing shortage. They've absorbed the increased cost of chicken wings and have made sure the supply is stocked. But if you want yours for the big game, no matter where you get them, you should order them now.
