I don't know, maybe our local grocer is awesome, but chicken meat (whole, breasts, wings etc.) are plentiful. The price is not skyrocketing.
Breasts and wings $3.99/lb, or $2.99/lb on sale. The price war between stores keep the prices fairly low. .
Perhaps there is commercial shortage for restaurants, but consumers at our local stores see just a small price difference..

"Fresh wings, boneless thigh meat and boneless leg meat prices are at record highs. Boneless breast and tenderloins are at 52-week highs."
Uh-huh. I'm not going to fill a cart full of chicken because of a perceived scarcity. I don't buy wings but boneless thigh, breast and tenderloins are all inexpensive in bulk at Costco right now.
Plus Costco has an exclusive source for extra-large rotisserie chickens. I would be very surprised if the price budges from the $4.99 loss-leader. Still, they ditched Hebrew National in the Costco food court years ago and replaced it with inferior hot dogs, so one never knows for certain.
We do have emergency stocks of freeze-dried meats as well as canned, just in case.

I can remember in the late seventies a friend used to use wings for his crab pots as they were so cheap!

They haven't always been expensive. I remember using them as crab bait in the Chesapeake Bay as a kid because they were so cheap. Somewhere along the line a marketing genius made them popular and the price has never been the same.
I don't like wings, all skin & bone. I'm sure the supply will recover soon.
Yup, way too much trouble to eat. I like nice big hunks of meat with no bones. Chicken, cow, pig, whatever, bones are too much trouble to deal with, and chicken wings are the worst, far too little meat to be worth the effort.
I'll do frog legs though. Cooked right, the meat just about falls off by itself. Got a nice big crop in the vernal pool this year...

The closer to the bone, the tastier the meat.
You don't like a bone-in porkchop? So much tastier than boneless.
So much better options than eat only chicken wings. How about eat some shrimp.
Well, it's a completely different food with a different taste and texture. I love shrimp but this "solution" makes no sense. How about eat some geoduck instead? Why not replace your chicken wings with corn fritters?
