US EditionYou'll never guess how many wings Americans eat on Super Bowl Sunday
Classic Buffalo and BBQ flavors make up nearly 90% of the 1.48 billion wings consumed, with Tyson Foods forecasting a 20-30% sales spike during the Super Bowl.
- Yesterday, the National Chicken Council projected Americans will eat 1.48 billion chicken wings during this year's Super Bowl, roughly 10 million more than last year.

- Americans' intense game-day eating habits help explain the surge in demand, and the report updated yesterday, Feb 3, 2026, is immediately relevant to watch-party hosts with related how-to coverage and numbers.
