Reply to comment by maugust09 in Number of Chickens Slaughtered Globally Since 1960 by cluckingpullet

I think at least 3 chickens die for 6 wings right? Also, chances that you get all 6 wings to match up are probably close to 0.

Technically 1.5 chickens per 6 wings, assuming you get 2 wings/legs from 1 chicken.

If someone orders 12 wings of all legs or wings, that is 6 chickens minimum right there

Also these are minimums, odds are every part you eat is a different chicken

Not sure where chicken legs come into the calculation of chicken wings... 1chicken = 2 wings, 3 chickens = 6 wings.

Are you using chicken "wings" and "legs" interchangeably?

The ”wings” of a chicken are actually made up of two parts - the flappy wing itself and the drumette, which would be considered the part of the airline breast. Chicken legs are different from the drumette, so you have 2 flappy wings, 2 drumette wings, and 2 legs. So 4 “wing parts” per chicken

Sorry, I guess I should preface all this by saying in most kitchens an order of 6 "wings" = 3 wings/3 legs and 12 "wings" = 6 wings/6 legs
