Poultry

Whole Wing

Whole wings keep drumette, flat, and tip together—classic for roasting, confit-style slow cooks, and grill platters. More dramatic than split segments; slightly less even cooking unless jointed after. Season well, roast or grill until skin is crisp and meat tender, optionally jointing before saucing. Whole wings suit soy-garlic and lemon-pepper treatments. Rest briefly. Provide napkins. Tips can be removed pre-cook for stock if preferred.
