Meat
Leg
Leg of Wildebeest is whole haunch or poultry leg for roasting and braising. Cook long enough for collagen and safety. Cook wildebeest leg to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Grilling, biltong, and stews show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
