Americans to Eat 1.48 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl LX

New England plays Seattle in the upcoming Super Bowl this Sunday. New England is known for its clam chowder, while Seattle is famous for salmon tossing in fish markets. However, when it comes to the Super Bowl, nothing is hotter than chicken wings. The National Chicken Council released its annual Chicken Wing Report, which projects Americans will eat 1.48 billion chicken wings while watching the Patriots and Seahawks battle for the Lombardi Trophy. This figure represents an increase of about ten million more wings than last year’s game. “Football is for food, especially when it comes to the Super Bowl, where wings rule the roost,” said NCC Spokesman Tom Super. “For football fans looking to add protein to their spreads at an affordable price, wings are kings of the Super Bowl menu.” Laid end to end, the 1.48 billion chicken wings would stretch about 27 times from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.
