And due to a number of COVID-related factors, those wings are costing more this year.
“A year ago, right about now, the price was 70 bucks for a 40-pound case. This week, I paid 115 bucks for a case,” said Bob Sulick, owner of Manchester chicken-wing mecca Mulberry Street. “After Thanksgiving, prices took a rocket ship to the moon and then stayed there.”
Nikki Vinci, spokeswoman for J. Timothy’s Taverne, famous for its twice-fried “dirty wings,” said wings have been on higher than normal demand, with steadily rising prices, throughout the health crisis.
