Pig Wing Preparation?

93_confirmed · Apr 14, 2018

I recently picked up a box of pig wings from Restaurant Depot. I had to ask every employee in the meat section where to find them - no one knew what they were or whether they were in stock.

I see they're pre-cooked and the recommended cooking instructions say to bring them up to 140 degrees. What's the optimal method to prepare them? Do you guys treat this like a pre-cooked ham and smoke for an hour or two and glaze them? Do you use a rub?

I'd do them around 275 til 140. Still on my list to try but only way to get them is if you buy like a 10lb case. If I heard more people talk about them it might make me bite zee bullet

I paid $50 for a 9lb box (split into 3 - 3lb bags). They look awesome!

Sounds like what GFS offers around here...That's just a lot of one thing for me and the wife. Although we entertain often. Maybe once football season comes around again.

Just did a pack of these last night, I just threw some rub on them, threw some smoke on em to bring them up to temp, then threw them over some charcoal w sauce. Man they are tasty and well worth the 50 bucks

A local pub had them on the menu TWO for $12 bucks, crazy.

I have never cooked them, but have eaten them. The guy that cooked them did not smoke them, just grilled them, and offered some different dipping sauces. They were great! When I saw they were pre-cooked, I wondered how they would be deep fried?

Eaten quite a few of these, never have seen them available.
Will definitely have to keep an eye out.

Can one of you folks post a photo of before (not cooked) and after when nice and yummy?

Thank you - have no idea what they even look like

What is a pig wing?

I didn't know pigs had wings?

Clasko2 · Apr 15, 2018

Same as everybody else. Just dusted them with rub. Indirect on a grill and then seared them a little once to temp. Brushed with sauce. These were an absolute hit at a tailgate.

Decent sized pork shanks.

How many in each 3lb bag? Trying to get an idea of how big they are?

Can you show a picture of the box? What did they call them at RD, and where were they?

I have seen people cook pig tails, and call them pig wings, but I believe this is what everyone is talking about.

It's part of the shank that is cut/shaped to resemble a chicken wing. It's about 4x the size.

Approximately 10 per bag.

I tossed the box but the brand is KC Wild Wings - Fully Cooked Seasoned Bone-In Pork Shanks. They're in the freezer section between the other pork products and chicken/chicken wings. The sign above them reads "Farmland Pork Wing KC 9LB".

Thanks. Been wanting to try for a while, may have to make the trip soon.

They’re actually pretty big. Think huge wing. If for a main, I’d say 2-4. For an app, 1-2. There’s quite a bit of meat on them.

PS...GFS on Golf Road stocks them.

Do you still have the receipt? If so is there a product code on it?

I've searched my RD online for pig wings, pork shank, wild wings and various other items and they don't come up. I also searched some of the NJ RD and they don't come up so I'm hoping there is still a chance that my RD carries them.

It's over an hour away so I'm not going to make a special trip unless I know they have them.
Thanks
