Why are chicken wings with bones more expensive than boneless wings?

Because chicken wing prices are insane, they are the most expensive part of the chicken. Chicken breast is cheaper in comparison.

Because they are a value-added alternative for chicken wings, meaning that rather than price them according to the cost, which would place them closer to nuggets, they are priced as chicken wings, plus what a consumer will pay to not deal with bones

Because “deboned wings” would basically be small piles of quasi-pulled/chopped chicken.

doesnt make any sense. Boneless should be more expensive as it is more dense (meat to bone ratio) than bone in. Also there is the added labor cost of deboning.

I've heard several people that work in restaurants talk about this. I'm no macro-economics expert, but from what I understand, the demand placed on producers/processors on the huge, (multi)national corporate food level make the breast cheaper than wings.
A big part of this has to do with them being more difficult to process w/o the breast getting dry, tasteless, or otherwise, unpalatable. On a small scale, this isn't too hard to deal with, but when you have to figure out how to economically brine, batter, fry, etc. literal tons of chicken, this could get all sorts of fucking expensive. Compared to other, dark-meat parts of the bird that don't need so much work to keep moist, breasts have been historically, a huge pain in the ass for poultry processors to sell.

On a slightly related note, the higher price of wings is a relatively recent development. Much like how caviar used to be peasant food, wings were cheap until some marketing guru from Buffallo (or whatever) convinced the whole nation that chicken wings are amazing.
This whole marketing thing is also interesting to consider for chicken breasts. With all the aforementioned issues with "wtf do we do with all this white meat that we can't sell (at a profit)?" you can see lots of concerted marketing promotions and effort that all revolve around how to increase consumer demand.
Chicken nuggets, "lean chicken breast is great protein to get u SWOLE," T E N D I E S, etc.

This. My grandmother used to talk about how she would buy tons of wings for dirt cheap when she was poor because no one wanted them. The whole "wings" thing started in the 80s best I can tell and now people are overpaying for the most meatless part of the chicken.

Why is this post not recognized? The correct answer is so very simple. You idiots are over-complicating it.
Basic economics of supply and demand. There faggot places like BWW, Hooters, Wing Stop, and every other gay sports bar in your town has sent demand for wings through the roof. Their entire businesses are based on the goddamn things, and for some social fad reason these places have seen a surge in popularity. Accordingly, the price goes up, because this make the supply relatively scarce.
I was shopping today at a discount grocer. Wings were $4.99 a pound. Drumsticks were $0.79/lb and thighs were $0.99/lb. Take a fucking guess which one I came home with.
