Why are chicken wings so expencive?

Answer 1

Canada's poultry market, unlike its red meat market, is regulated by the government, and so is the amount of chicken it allows to be imported. These factors drive up the price of chicken in Canada.

Answer 2

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with

steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met.

This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones. They have many bad effects. e.g cyst growing in a womans womb

There may be so many chicken wings around because chicken wings are a very popular food item. They are so popular that some chain restaurants specifically serve chicken wings as their signature item.

Answer 4

Good question!! Back before the "age" of buffalo wings in the late 1980's and wings had become a fad food in bars they were used in stock pots to make soup. Wings, necks and backs were what you bought if you had little money but needed to feed your family cheap.

Supply and demand, low supply and high demand drive prices up until now you can often find chicken breast cheaper than wings which really have very little food value.

Answer 5

several reasons:

1) labour cost involved in cutting them

2) demand for chicken wings at restaurants and bars. With proper marination they are a superb finger food.
