4.5 from 2 ratings
This is a dish that takes those wimpy chicken wings to the next level: hog wings.A little larger in size and packed with flavor, Oasthouse Gastropub’s hog wings are the best thing to happen to wings since buffalo sauce. Using pork shanks, Chef Amir slow cooks and expertly seasons these piggies, grills them to the perfect crisp-to-tender ratio and finishes them off with a beer glaze. Drool.
