    It’s unclear what Liddell did with $1.5 million worth of wings.

      Yeah, I was hoping the story would explain that she was supplying a friend’s restaurant or something.

        That is a FUCK TON of chicken wings.

        Alexa tells me the wholesale price of chicken wings is $3.22 a pound and each pound is around 5 wings.

        So $1.5m / $3.22 = 465,838.5 pounds of wings.
        2,329,193 wings.

        What did they charge her with? “Possession with intent to distribute”? LOL.

          Well you know cops, they’re always overestimating the value of chicken wings to make themselves look good.
