Super Bowl food: Chicken wings are a bargain this year, but beef prices are climbing. Here's a playbook for staying well fed without having a your wallet thrown for a loss.

The "boneless wings" served by Buffalo Wild Wings, the national chain of casual sports bar-restaurants, have long been made of white meat from boneless chicken breasts.

While supermarket inflation is still high, there are savings to be found on Super Bowl snacks. Prices for chicken wings and guacamole have fallen sharply since last year's big game.

There's no fowl play here — just blame the supply chain, our comfort food habits and a simple fact of nature. Wings might be pricier, but there's no shortage of them, experts say.
