What Makes Atomic Wings Different from the Competition?

Throughout history, our society has witnessed the rise and fall of countless trends and fads. Remember when flash mobs were a thing? How about planking? Or getting a mustache tattooed on your index finger (yikes)? While it can be fun to participate in these trends, they're often short-lived. Maybe that’s a good thing, but there are a handful of trends that have experienced a consistent rise in popularity over the years without ever falling off. That’s when a trend evolves into a cultural mainstay.

And we’re here to talk about one of them.

Chicken Wings Are Insanely Popular. Seriously.

Wait a minute, can food be a fad? Absolutely it can. For example, there was a point in time when you could find a frozen yogurt shop in every strip mall in America, and many of them have since been shuttered. Sure, it was a healthier alternative to ice cream–until your kiddos finished loading up their yogurt cups with cookie dough chunks and gummy worms. Talk about a sugar rush.

When chicken wings started to gain popularity in the 1980s, many people thought it would be just another short-lived trend. Most people in those days preferred eating chicken breasts and thighs; the wings were usually discarded or used to make broth. However, wings emerged as one of America’s favorite foods, and restaurants all over the country started to serve the Buffalo, New York specialty to cash in on its rising popularity.

Fast-forward to present day, and wings are reaching unprecedented levels of popularity. Did you know that Americans were projected to eat 1.45 BILLION chicken wings during the Super Bowl earlier this year? Needless to say, that’s a LOT of chicken, and it’s now easier than ever to get some. Wings used to be just another menu item at your local bar and grill, but in 2024, you can find restaurant chains that make chicken wings their specialty. Makes sense, right? It’s a popular food item that’s relatively simple to prepare, but like many things, some wings are simply better than others.

Not All Chicken Wings Are Created Equal.

Let’s talk about supply and demand. Wait, you mean you DIDN’T want to learn about basic business principles in an article about chicken wings? Yeah, we don’t blame you, but bear with us; we’ll get to the wing stuff in a little bit.

When all these big chicken wing restaurant chains started to become popular, they had a hard time keeping up with demand. Getting fresh chicken delivered to the store every day was becoming a hassle, but customers wanted more. In a sense, the demand for chicken wings exceeded the supply of fresh chicken that they had. That’s when they started cutting corners by switching to frozen chicken wings that could be ordered in larger quantities; the quality of their wings decreased as a result, but hey, at least they were meeting demand, right?

No, it’s not right. Nobody wants frozen chicken that’s juiced up like the Kool-Aid man. People deserve to enjoy fresh, never frozen chicken wings that are free of antibiotics, preservatives,  and hormones. We need a flavor revolution.

And that’s where Atomic Wings comes in.
