Pork Wings

[Jfrosty27]

I bought a couple of packs of what Porter Road is calling "Pork Wings". Two pieces per pack, about one pound per pack. According to their web page, these are actually cross sections of the fibula on the pig. Anyway, I have never cooked these but they were cheap so what the heck.

So has anyone here done these? The PR page says to cook them like ribs. Ok simple enough. But any tips or cautions?

From the leg. My guess would be low and slow, so lets us know.
Thank Yo.

It's time to speak, said the Walrus, to speak of many things;

of ships and shoes and ceiling wax, and cabbages and kings,

and if the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings....

use a chunk or two of pecan - give them wings a soft smokie flavor.

These are shanks.

Interested in this thread, although when I saw the subject all I could think of was flying pigs.

[Jfrosty27]

Yes I know these are from the shank. So far not a lot of advice on cooking them. Some fun stuff though. I figure I will just do them low and slow like a rack of ribs and see what comes out of it unless Somebody has a better idea. I will post the results.

What I've had down here that were called pork wings are from the rear lower leg: a small, about two bite, hunk of meat with a thin bone attached for a handle (probably the fibula bone). They grilled and sauced them. Yum!

I saw these last night when perusing Porter Road. Enjoy those!



But I will admit - like others....this is where i went first

You might consider braising. Look for osso bucco recipes for sauce/seasoning ideas.

I would also go with braising them, but I have never done this cut before. I am sure a smoke would be great too.

Ok I did these "pig wings" tonight. I did them the same way I do my ribs. They cooked like ribs, looked like ribs, and go figure, ate and tasted like ribs. But here’s the thing. They cost about three times as much as ribs. So I guess I’ll just stick to the ribs. 🤷‍♂️

I was concerned about how much meat were on them so I tossed some brats in the smoker for the last couple hours. Nice smoke ring on the brats as well as the pork. The pig wings were actually very meaty though. Anyway, everything was tasty and a good meal was had.
