I'm like many Americans, I love chicken wings! Bone or Bone-less, don't matter; I love them! Well this year for the big game, I'm not alone.

According to an NCC (National Chicken Council)  survey of 1,000 chicken wing fans from across the nation, 65 percent said they prefer to chow down on wings while watching a sporting event. Meanwhile, 51 percent doubled-down on their love by suggesting the snack should be the official food of the Super Bowl.

An estimated record 1.4 billion chicken wings will be consumed this Super Bowl weekend. The record-breaking amount shows a 2-percent increase over last year, or 27 million wings. I can see that with the rise of popular keto diet that allows eating some yummy fatty foods! With a side of celery? I'm in! ~grace
