They are both correct in modern English. I am hungry uses hungry as an adjective, a word to describe a noun. In this case, “I”. I am feeling hungry is using hungry as an adverb. It is used to describe the verb “feeling”. Because hungry can be used as both an adjective and as an adverb, both sentences are correct.

both grammatically correct with a slight difference in meaning.
In “I am feeling hungry”, the use of the present continuous kind of extends the time of “feeling hungry”, or is simply an indication that the action of “feeling hunry” is instanteneous or progressive.
that might be a grammatical explanation, but to me, they both mean the same, as the interpretation of such slight differences depend on the context, the speaker’s intention too.. which I do not know.

“I am hungry” is correct. When you use the word “feeling” it is redundant. After all, you wouldn’t “hear hungry” or “see hungry” so it is an unnecessary word.

They are synonymous. Just like “I am sad; I am feeling sad.” Hungry is something you feel, so neither is incorrect. Just depends on which way you want to put it.
