Pig Wings

I wonder how many Pig Wings you can get from one shank?

I got to eat one this year at a contest. They are a very tasty treat. It was the whole shank. He didn't metion anything about cutting into smaller pieces and serving. The shank was about like a large turkey drumlet from the wing. Dang it was good. I asked my meat suppliers and they just laughed when I asked about "Pig Wings".
Just need to find a supplier.

I believe Hormel sells them in 10 lb cases. They come smoked. I tried a sample...not bad at all.

Farmland Foods sells them for food service under the name "Hawg Wild Pork Wings". 9 lb. case with 36 pieces. No price mentioned.

Smithfield sells them retail under the name Paula Deen's Wild Wings". 3.5 lb. case with 8 pieces. $49 with free standard shipping. A little pricey IMO.

We serve the Farmland Pig Wings at our place. They cost us around 42.00 for a case of 36 wings. the wings are 4oz each. They come fully cooked and we just thaw and deep fry for a minute or two. we offer them with our house BBQ sauce or Franks buffalo Wing sauce. They pretty darn good.

Can anyone get these, or are they available to food professionals only?

I buy mine from Sysco. You check out Farmland's website for place to purchase maybe...

I just got off the phone with Restaurant Depot- sold as KC Wild Wings Item Code 70247 192127.
$46.00/36 "wings" 4 oz ea. I'm planning on picking up some this weekend and trying- will keep you posted.

Finally got a chance to try these. I had lunch at a little sports bar in Macomb, IL recently and these things were on the menu as "Pork Hawg Wings". It was the first time I've encountered them, so I had to go for it. Basic prep was a dusting with the house rub, and then they were deep fried. They're sold as an order of 3 "Wings" with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce on the side for $8.25. I passed on the SBR and substituted a hot buffalo sauce along with a chipotle ranch sauce.

All in all it was a good choice. I'm not usually a fan of deep fried meats, but the flavor was excellent. The 3 shanks had a lot of meat, which I couldn't finish. The texture was close to falling off the bone, but they still had a nice pull. They certainly were a good menu item for the type of place we were in. The manager told me that they were their second biggest selling item following burgers.

Wow, those are a nice size, they almost look prehistoric...

Local place here, (Green Turtle) sells them as Hog Hammers.
