Wingstop employee wants Americans to know when you go to Wingstop youโre just buying regular Tyson chicken. He shows all the boxes as proof
I ran the numbers on Tyson wholesale chicken prices and compared it to Wingstop prices
They markup the chicken over 500%
- Wholesale Tyson chicken wings typically cost restaurants $1.50โ$2.50+ per pound
- A pound of bone-in wings yields roughly 8โ10 wings
- Cost to Wingstop: $0.20โ$0.35 per wing thatโs including sauce, seasoning and prep
- Selling price: $1.00โ$1.50+ per wing, or even higher in combos
- Markup is 300โ500%+ on chicken cost
Youโre just paying for regular Tyson chicken wings in sauce thatโs fried
Make it at home and save yourself the 500% markup
