About Chicken party wings
The chilled chicken range is the standard foodservice set: whole birds sized by weight, boneless breast, leg quarters, jumbo party wings and ground chicken. Chicken is the one protein in this book whose parts trade independently of each other, because breast, wing and leg quarter each answer to their own demand. A wing market can run hard while leg quarters sit flat, and a quote on one part tells you nothing useful about the others.
Buying notes
Most items are quoted per pound, but leg quarters and ground chicken are invoiced by the case, so read the unit before comparing. Bulk descriptions such as a four-by-ten case tell you how the case is subdivided, which is what matters to a kitchen with a small walk-in and no reason to open forty pounds at once.
