Chicken wings in short supply in western N.Y. before Super Bowl
Western New York, the home of spicy "Buffalo wings," is suffering from a chicken wing shortage in the days before Super Bowl XLIII, according to U.S. news reports.
The Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, a daily newspaper that serves communities in Niagara County, reported Jan. 14 that the snack enjoyed by football fans is in short supply at bars and restaurants in parts of New York state.
Feb. 1 is Super Bowl Sunday this year.
The shortage is reportedly due to two unrelated developments: Texas-based Pilgrim's Pride, the largest chicken producer in the U.S., filed for bankruptcy protection in December; and demand is great at this time of year as the U.S. prepares for the NFL championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.
Kickoff is set for 6:20 p.m. ET, wings or no wings.
Buffalo is said to be the chicken wing capital of the U.S.
