Pork wings, also known as pork neck bones, are an underrated cut of meat that offers a delicious and economical alternative to traditional pork chops or ribs. These meaty and flavorful bones are perfect for slow-cooking methods like braising or stewing, which tenderize the meat and enhance its rich flavor. Whether you prefer a classic Southern-style smothered pork neck bones recipe, a Caribbean-inspired jerk pork neck bones dish, or a spicy and tangy Korean-style pork neck bones stew, there's a recipe out there to satisfy every palate.

Time 1h35m
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut each pork chop lengthwise into 3 pieces. Combine the blue cheese powder, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the pork "wings" on all sides with the spice mixture. Wrap each wing in a single layer with a strip of bacon and secure with a skewer; the skewers should stick out about 3 inches.
- Place the wings on a baking sheet and bake until the bacon is crispy and the pork registers 145 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Flip the wings about two-thirds of the way through to brown both sides -- keep an eye on the wings, and flip earlier if they are browning too quickly on the bottom.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the butter, hot sauce and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cayenne, then remove from the heat.
- When the wings come out of the oven, brush them generously with the Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with any remaining sauce.
BACON-WRAPPED PIG WINGS
Who says pigs can't fly? Take a few boneless pork chops, add some bacon and a little creativity, and Pig Wings are on the menu! The bacon adds great flavor and keeps the loin meat from getting dry. These look great and are a little unusual, so they make a fabulous smoked appetizer with barbecue sauce for dipping. The kids will love them.

Steps:
- Cut each pork chop into three strips. To wrap the "wings," start by overlapping the bacon on one end of a pork strip, then wrapping it up and around in a candy-cane fashion. Secure the bacon at the top with a toothpick. If you need to use a toothpick at both ends, go ahead. Season the bacon-wrapped wings liberally with the rub. Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 235 degrees F using medium pecan wood for smoke flavor. Place the wings directly on the cooking grid and cook for 90 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked. You may want to finish these on a hot grill or under the broiler to crisp the bacon. Serve hot with barbecue sauce for dipping.
- Barbecue Rub # 67: After a lot of years of making barbecue rubs, I've used up all the good names, so sometimes I just use numbers now. Numbers 67 and 68 are a little tip of the hat to the band named after my hometown, Chicago. This one is a great all-around rub for the new barbecue cook because it's good on just about everything. Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months.

Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lay pork shanks out flat and rub both sides generously with salt and pepper and minced garlic. Put a rack inside a shallow roasting pan to keep the ribs off the bottom of the pan. Lay ribs across rack and fill pan with chicken broth under the ribs making sure the ribs are not touching the broth. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the oven. Turn the temperature down to 300°F and allow ribs to cook slowly for at least 4 to 6 hours until the meat begins to fall off the bone. Remove from oven and carefully remove foil to let out the steam. If preferred, remove the bone and brush ribs generously with Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar Barbecue sauce. Return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Carefully use tongs to lift ribs in one piece and place on platter.
Tips:
- When choosing pork wings, look for those with a good amount of meat on them. The best wings will have a nice, even layer of fat and skin.
- Pork wings can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, grilling, and frying. Each method will give you a different flavor and texture, so experiment to find the one you like best.
- If you are baking pork wings, be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that the wings cook evenly.
- When grilling pork wings, be sure to grease the grill grates to prevent the wings from sticking. You should also cook the wings over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- If you are frying pork wings, be sure to use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil. The oil should be hot enough to fry the wings, but not so hot that it smokes.
- Serve pork wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Pork wings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great option for parties, potlucks, and other gatherings.
