Here’s How Many Chicken Wings Are Eaten By Americans In A Lifetime

Take these stats with a scoop of blue cheese. If these are the averages for Americans you have to imagine the numbers for WNY are higher.

A new report is out and it states that Americans will eat 18,000 chicken wings in their lifetime. That's an average of eating about 24 per month, or 290 a year. For Buffalonians, that seems like a low number.

Other results of the study say that 37% of people prefer bone-in wings compared to the 27% who prefer boneless. AND 56% of people think that a boneless wing can be considered a wing, which I'm sure much of WNY would probably disagree.

As for when to eat chicken wings? Naturally, the Super Bowl came in high as well as dinner but 57% of people said that wings are not for a first date, citing that it's too messy for that occasion.

I think this part of the survey will really start trouble in WNY and that's the Top 5 Sauces.

Here they are:

1- BBQ
2- Honey BBQ
3- Buffalo with Ranch
4- Buffalo
5- Buffalo with Blue Cheese

Obviously, these are averages for America and we can probably agree that the number would be very different in the home of the chicken wing.
