Wing

Guinea Fowl wings are skin-rich with modest meat—excellent roasted, glazed or simmered for stock. Tips add gelatin to broths. Lean poultry sits between chicken and pheasant—slightly gamey with darkish white meat. Joint for even cooking, dry the skin for crispness, and season boldly. Use leftover bones in the stock pot. West African origin with French and Italian farmhouse cookery treats wings as snacks or thrift cuts.
