McDonald’s is adding bone-in chicken wings to its menu in metro Atlanta, a move that could be big business for the poultry industry – including in Georgia, the nation’s No. 1 chicken producer.
The world’s largest burger chain – which often sells more chicken than its core product – is using Atlanta as a laboratory to test the wings because of its diverse population and a strong push from the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operators Association, the local franchisee group. If the product goes national, it could add millions of income for poultry companies.
