No Kidding! In my local grocery stores a family pack of wings is close to $15

I used to work in a Kosher chicken plant...Until recently they never made Kosher wings, they considered the wings as junk, but they have now picked up in popularity and they are selling the [BLEEP] out of them...It hasn't been too terribly long since chicken wings took off in popularity as a whole...They have always sold them but they have become such a huge commodity not only by back yard grillers, but so many wing joints with so many flavors of wings keep popping up that they ( grocery stores and commercial retailer sellers) sell wings very quickly and lots of chicken plants can't fill their orders for wings...

Shouldn't there also be a whole chicken crisis too?

They sell chicken by the pound...When grocery stores and retail wholesalers order from chicken plants, they order by the pound...Like ( for example only) they will say we need 2k # of chicken split breasts and 2K # of chicken wings next week...It takes a lot more wings to make up 2k# pounds of wings than 2K # of split breasts
