Local restaurateurs are crying fowl over soaring chicken prices and they say it\u2019s only a matter of time before diners are clucking mad, too. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Even worse, they say the Great Chicken Crisis of 2021 may hit only small local restaurants and not Big Chicken \u2014 the bird-hoarding corporate monoliths.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s brutal. It\u2019s been a tough few months,\u201d lamented John Henninger, co-owner of Dan & John\u2019s Wings in Murray Hill and the East Village, when asked about rising prices.<\/p>\n

The wholesale price restaurants pay for chicken has more than doubled since the fall, according to invoices provided to The Post. The increase far outpaces the rapid inflation already being felt elsewhere in the economy,<\/p>\n

Ken Halberg, the owner of Harding\u2019s in the Flatiron District, paid $1.16 for a pound of chicken breast at the end of October. That price had spiked 117 percent to $2.52 at the end of June.<\/p>\n

Henninger has watched the price of chicken wings grow more than 50 percent over the same period, from $2.39 per pound to $3.69 per pound, and expects it to climb further. <\/p>\n

Patrick Hughes, owner of Hell\u2019s Kitchen hot-wing hotspot Hellcat Annie\u2019s, reported paying as much as $4.73 per pound for chicken wings last month \u2013 \u201cand this is only the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet while local restaurateurs are battling poultry sticker shock, fast-food giant Popeyes this week reported that it\u2019s been stockpiling product for months to avoid the disruptions in the national chicken chain behind the soaring prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand is very high right now, and consumer spending is surging\u201d as the country emerges from the pandemic, Popeyes America president Sami Siddiqui told Bloomberg. \u201cWe\u2019re planning app<\/a>ropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chik-Fil-A offered a similar \u201cno problem\u201d this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you that we have not been impacted (by rising prices) and that our supply is strong,\u201d Chik-Fil-A spokesman Sean Ward told The Post.<\/p>\n

Industry experts say rising meat prices are being caused by a shortage of people willing to work in processing plants in the free-money, post-pandemic world, as demand spikes as millions of Americans return to restaurants. Chicken, far and away America\u2019s most popular protein, seems hardest hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can\u2019t get drivers and they can\u2019t get people to hack off chicken heads,\u201d said Halberg. \u201cThe reality is that Biden has paid people to stay home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The local restaurateurs say so far they haven\u2019t passed along the higher wholesale costs to customers, but don\u2019t know how long they can hold out.<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck back with me again once football season starts,\u201d said Henninger.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
