Whole Wing

Poultry

Whole Wing

Whole duck wings include all segments—dramatic for braising pots and for stocks when meat is scarce. They carry enough skin to enrich any liquid they sit in. Braise whole until joints loosen, or roast after simmering for contrast. Joint after cooking for easier eating if desired. Tips can be diverted to stock. Provide finger bowls for formal service—this is hands-on food.
