Chicken Wing Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Mexico paid the most for chicken wing in Q3 2026: USD 3,150/MT, down 0.8% from USD 3,175/MT in Q2. Import duties, freight and cold chain costs and strong demand from restaurants and snack makers keep Mexican prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average fell 1.1% to USD 2,775/MT from USD 2,806/MT, mostly because larger supplies of wings led exporters and importers to lower prices in Brazil, the United States and China. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 2,650-2,870/MT range, with demand from restaurants and sports events, export demand, feed costs and outbreaks of avian influenza doing most of the work.
Chicken wing is the cut from the wing of broiler chickens, sold whole, as split wings, drumettes or wingettes, fresh or frozen. It is a popular product in restaurants, bars, snack foods and retail packs, and demand rises during sports events and holiday seasons. Prices in this report refer to frozen wings in international trade and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on feed costs, restaurant demand, trade rules and supply.
Production is concentrated in the United States, Brazil, China, Thailand and Poland. Each bird produces only two wings, so supply follows slaughter volumes and cannot be increased easily when the demand rises. Brazil and the United States are the largest exporters, and the main buyers are China, Mexico, Japan and several Middle East countries. Prices vary by wing type, size, frozen or fresh form and packaging.
Chicken Wing Price Forecast for 2026
Prices should ease slightly through the rest of 2026. Supplies of wings are higher and stocks are rising, but sports season demand and holiday season orders limit the size of the decline. Against USD 2,726/MT in Q3 2025, the current global average of USD 2,775/MT represents an increase of 1.8%.
The balance of risks for Q4 tilts downward. What could push prices higher? Stronger demand from restaurants, outbreaks of avian influenza or higher feed costs would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Larger flocks, higher stocks or weaker restaurant demand would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 2,650 - 2,870 | Higher supplies limit prices |
| Brazil | 2,245 - 2,430 | Large export volumes keep prices lowest |
| United States | 2,580 - 2,795 | Strong restaurant demand supports prices |
| China | 2,770 - 3,000 | Import dependence supports prices |
| Mexico | 3,010 - 3,260 | Import costs and tariffs keep prices highest |
