The price of chicken wings in the United States has dropped to its lowest level in years, just in time for football season. The average wholesale price for a pound of chicken wings has been steadily falling, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released on Thursday. Chicken wing prices reached a high of $3.25 per pound in May 2021 and dipped to about $1.68 per pound in July. The USDA’s report said July’s figure was the lowest monthly average since May 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2022, wholesale chicken wing prices averaged about $2.68 per pound. The latest average wholesale price is at a level not observed since 2018, according to pricing tracked by Bloomberg Finance.
