Twitter is thrilled after news broke today that chicken wing prices have decreased. According to NBC News, the price of chicken wings is cheaper than before the pandemic, with the average wholesale price of a pound being around $1.68 in July. Experts believe the average will be even lower in August.

Wingstop president and CEO Michael Skipworth predicted the decline last month, according to NBC News. He said he expected to see deflation in prices for bone-in chicken wings, as the company found the prices had fallen nearly 19% year-over-year in its fiscal second quarter.

Fabio Sandri, CEO of the multinational poultry processing company Pilgrim’s Pride, said the decrease in price is due to supply and demand, NBC News reports. Sandri explained that earlier in the pandemic, demand for wings was high. To manage costs, restaurants began to replace bone-in wings with boneless wings. That lowered the demand and increased the supply of bone-in wings, ultimately making them cheaper.

Regardless of the reasoning, Twitter couldn’t be happier about the news.

One Twitter user is thanking God for the price drop.

Others are thanking President Joe Biden for the much-needed price cut.

“Chicken wings are affordable again! Thank U President Biden” someone wrote.

“City Boys up rest of the summer,” another fan rejoiced.

“So the price for chicken wings have gone down, to its lowest in 4 years? I’m bout to go buy the store up,” one viewer wrote.

Another user shared that he’s been waiting for this price drop for a minute.

“I’ve been waiting for this. I refused to pay double the price,” they tweeted.

One person is hoping for the same thing to happen to oxtails.

“Tell ‘em to do Oxtails next,” they tweeted.

And one viewer wanted to know where they can cop cheaper wings.

“I would like to know where these wings are. I just went grocery shopping the other day and a bag of chicken breast that used to cost $7 is currently $13. Almost doubled,” they shared.

Sandri said as we head into the fall, demand for chicken wings will likely increase and prices could increase again.

“We expect also the wings to start rising now coming the football and the basketball season,” he said, according to NBC News.
