Wing

Duck wings are richer, slightly larger analogues of chicken wings—best when braised tender then crisped or lacquered. Collagen and skin make them sticky and satisfying as snacks. Season boldly with spice and soy or with dry rubs, cook low, finish hot. Serve as bar food or as part of a whole-duck breakdown meal. Tips fortify stock. Provide napkins; good duck wings are gloriously messy.
