Super Bowl fans love those chicken wings

Football and chicken wing consumption go together, says the National Chicken Council (NCC) in the United States.

The organization predicted that 100 million pounds of chicken wings would be consumed during Super Bowl weekend, with half ordered from restaurants and half from retailers. The NCC predicts that during 2012, more than three billion pounds, about 25 billion wing portions will be consumed, with 2.2 billion pounds from food services and 800 million pounds from retail groceries.
