Wingstop employee wants Americans to know when you go to Wingstop you’re 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 $1.50–$2.50+ per pound
- A pound of bone-in wings yields roughly 8–10 wings
- Cost to Wingstop: $0.20–$0.35 per wing that’s including sauce, seasoning and prep
- Selling price: $1.00–$1.50+ per wing, or even higher in combos
- Markup is 300–500%+ on chicken cost
You’re just paying for regular Tyson chicken wings in sauce that’s fried
Make it at home and save yourself the 500% markup
