Food price inflation is pecking away at chicken wing deals, leaving some Michigan barbecue restaurants without a top-selling menu item.
Across the country, wholesale prices for wings have increased 94.72% year-to-date, according to United States Department of Agriculture data from April.
Data for poultry prices by the 100 pounds shows this past year’s increase is even steeper than comparing to pre-pandemic levels. The increase from April 2019 to 2021 is 62.27%.
