H-E-B places purchasing limits on chicken wings due to shortage
If you love chicken wings, you may need to cut back while stores try to make sure there are enough to go around.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- H-E-B has announced it is enforcing purchasing limits on chicken wings. Customers will only be able to buy two packs of fresh or frozen wings per transaction.

In a statement to ABC13, a spokesperson for the grocery chain says it is due to a national supply chain issue.

Chicken consumption has increased during the pandemic. H-E-B also points to the February freeze affecting major chicken-producing regions.
