Wing

Quail wings are skin-rich with modest meat—excellent roasted, glazed or simmered for stock. Tips add gelatin to broths. It is delicate mild-game in a tiny bird—usually one or two per person. Joint for even cooking, dry the skin for crispness, and season boldly. Use leftover bones in the stock pot. Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and restaurant fine dining treats wings as snacks or thrift cuts.
