But prices have been flying high for months now during the pandemic.<\/p>\n Experts say there are a number of reasons, but the main one is that many people are enjoying wings are part of their regular diet. So, the shortage isn\u2019t because producers aren\u2019t making enough wings, it\u2019s that consumers want more and more (and more) of them to scarf down.<\/p>\n\n
