1.25 Billion Chicken Wings will be Eaten for Super Bowl

Americans will be eating a unbelievable number of chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. 1.25 Billion Chicken Wings will be consumed in just one day.

Turkey rules Thanksgiving, but the Chicken Wings rule Super Bowl Sunday. According to the National Chicken Council’s 2015 Wing Report, 1.25 billion wings will be eaten during Super Bowl 2015, as fans watch the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots battle for the Lombardi Trophy. The number is matching the record tied last year when the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos.

The National Chicken Council’s data shows that more than four in five U.S. adults (81%) eat chicken wings, holding steady from last year.

More than half (56%) of U.S. adults who eat chicken wings say they typically like to eat their wings with ranch dressing, according to a new National Chicken Council poll conducted online in January 2015 by Harris Poll.

Ranch is once again the #1 side or sauce typically eaten with wings, up from 51 percent last year but shy of the record of 57% two years ago. Only about one-third (36%) like to eat their wings with blue cheese dressing.  This is up from 32% last year.  Barbecue sauce even topped blue cheese, coming in at 42%.
