STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The chicken sandwich may have won 2019, but the chicken wing will still reign supreme over the big game in 2020.
Apparently chicken wings and the Super Bowl go hand-in-hand.
It’s the most eaten food during the Super Bowl each year. And this year is predicted to be no different.
The National Chicken Council (NCC) released its annual Chicken Wing Report, projecting Americans to consume a record-breaking 1.4 billion chicken wings during Super Bowl LIV weekend.
And Americans’ love for wings only continues to grow.
The NCC said this year’s wing consumption estimate is a 2% increase over 2019, meaning Americans will eat 27 million more wings during this year’s big game weekend versus last year’s.
“To put that in perspective, if Kansas City Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid ate three wings per minute, it would take him about 900 years to eat 1.4 billion wings,” said the NCC.
HOW DO AMERICANS ‘WING IT?’
To get a better idea of just how much Americans love their chicken wings, NCC asked wing-eaters from around the nation about their eating habits. Roughly two thirds of Americans (65%) who eat chicken wings, responded that they like to do so while watching a major sporting event, such as the Super Bowl. Half (51%) claim that they believe chicken wings should be the official food of the Super Bowl, said the NCC.
“Football is great. Wings are great. But they’re even better together,” said NCC spokesman Tom Super. “Sure, you can have your chips, your guacamole, your pizza. But when it comes to Super Bowl menus, wings rule the roost. So grab a wet nap, dive in and help put a dent in that 1.4 billion.”
WHERE TO GET WINGS ON STATEN ISLAND
Staten Island has a host of restaurants that will prepare, serve and deliver wings. One Island favorite is Planet Wings, a chain restaurant that has several Staten Island locations.
