It’s not like we weren’t warned. The doomsayers predicted this months ago: “A MASSIVE CHICKEN WING SHORTAGE IS BREWING,” blared the headline of one trade publication in early February.
But it turned out to be so much worse.
Bloomberg News, on Thursday: “Fried-Chicken Craze Is Causing U.S. to Run Low on Poultry.”
In other words, not just wings, but chicken in general. Or, as Bojangles put it in a recent tweet about their tenders: “we’re experiencing a system-wide shortage :( But they will be back soon!”

Time to stock up on frozen chicken for the apocalypse!
Eat more pork!
At least the intersections where Chik-Fil-A’s are located won’t be blocked anymore due to the drive-up window lines snaking out into the streets. Now if there were only a crappy coffee shortage to end the Starbucks traffic impeding lines.
Gonna have to buy a rooster and turn some of these eggs into chickens.
Anyone want to help me pluck a few?
This is BS!!! I’m in the Poultry business and business is BOOMING!!
But do you have enough supply to meet the demand?
I have noticed a couple fast food places “run out” during business hours.
not just wings, but chicken in general.
Next time you have nothing to do, contemplate the number of chickens that are “processed” everyday to supply just your state.
Chick-Fila, KFC, Bojangles, McDonalds, every bar in town that serves Buffalo Wings, cat food etc., etc...
Nothing better than a whole chicken cooked slowly in a dutch oven at home - with maybe some carrots, potatoes and onions surrounding it. The meat falls right off the bones. Way better than even rotisserie.
Is this why I’m now hearing roosters crowing in my suburban neighborhood?
Or could it be from illegals the government is shoe-horning in?
Create a crisis. Never let a crisis go to waste.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed—and thus clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”—H.L. Mencken
“A MASSIVE CHICKEN WING SHORTAGE IS BREWING” aka The Sky is Falling!
I understand the use of the word “crises” to define everything going on started with JFK.
Now everything in politics is a “crises” in need of fixing - with the requisite demand for higher and higher taxes.
I blame the wings restaurants. What are they doing with the rest of the chicken? We should just go looking for wingless chickens walking around on the streets. Should be easy to catch with a net if Stallone can catch them bare handed.
Can’t let this happen. Does anyone have an idea of how many large breasted women this will unemploy?

Tried the Zaxbys entrant to the chicken sandwich wars yesterday. It was delicious and the breast was roughly twice the size of the bun.
The nearest Chik-Fil-A is adjacent to an In-N-Out Burger. That is one busy parking lot.
Yet another shortage.
Not a scarcity.
How many does this make?
Anyone else thinking enemy action?
Plenty of fresh/frozen at grocery store, your problem is a Freezer. Chinese crap, 13 cu ft. nothing bigger, a 5 cu ft chest is $219, was $100 last year. The 3 upright units were at the NAVY BASE, chest Kroger’s. Not selling. Freezer plants shut down to make VENTALATORS.
