Chicken wings are showing up on more quick-serve menus, and not just during football season. Wings are showing up on menus at concepts one might otherwise not expect to carry them. For example, Veggie Grill, a sandwich and burger concept, added wings in the spring of 2011.
According to foodservice research in America and consulting firm Technomic’s “2012 Category Close-Up: Wings” report, 36 percent of the top 500 restaurant chains now offer wings, a number that continues to grow each year.
