Easiest way to grant that is:

Done. No restaurants sell chicken wings.

Yes but for unrelated reasons

I was thinking along a similar line, except -

Done. Chickens are now also extinct.

As in, it's now law so no one can sell chicken wings unless they can procure dodo wings?

Real dodo wings. A law of nature, so it can't be broken.

Given the normal mark-up on chicken and the fact they can still sell thighs and drumsticks, there's no real incentive to clone dodos or similar even if people knew about the law.
