NEW YORK -- One day in 2020, at the pandemics height, an earnest-looking man with long hair the color of Buffalo sauce stepped up to a podium in Lincoln, Nebraska, to address his city council during its public comment period. His unexpected topic, as he framed it: It was time to end the deception.

With the Super Bowl at hand, behold the cheerful untruth that has been perpetrated upon (and generally with the blessing of) the chicken-consuming citizens of the United States on menus across the land: a boneless wing that isnt a wing at all.

According to the National Chicken Council, Americans are expected to eat 1.45 billion chicken wings for Super Bowl LVII.

The Super Bowl and chicken wings go hand in hand.

NEW YORK (AP) — One day in 2020, at the pandemic’s height, an earnest-looking man with long hair the color of Buffalo sauce stepped up to a podium in Lincoln, Nebraska, to address his city council during its public comment period.

Those little white-meat nuggets, tasty as they may be, offer a glimpse into how things are marketed, how people believe them — and whether it matters to anyone but the chicken.

With the Super Bowl quickly approaching, boneless wings are sure to be on the menu. Experts say one reason is because chicken prices have risen.

With the Super Bowl at hand, behold the cheerful untruth: a “boneless wing” that isn’t a wing at all.

Americans are set to consume 1.45 billion chicken wings this Super Bowl weekend. So says the National Chicken Council. And some of them will be boneless — and thus not actual chicken wings.
