I don't care what anyone says, chicken wings are not food. Putting a load of vinegar and butter on a cat turd doesn't make it food, either, although there's probably more meat in a cat turd.
Restaurants, normally big buyers of breast meat, slashed orders as millions of people cut back on eating out, and breast prices slumped. But demand for wings has remained strong, partly because people perceived them as a cheap luxury.

Adding to the demand: the brisk growth of restaurant chains focusing on wings, like Atomic Wings, Wingstop and Wing Zone. Several chains have been remarking this year about how much business is up in the recession. The major public company in this group, Buffalo Wild Wings, reported a 27 percent earnings jump in the first half of the year.
What a fascinating commentary for our culture. People would rather eat absolute shit than the best meat of the yard-bird.
