What are pork wings made from?

"Pork wings" are not a real cut of meat. There's no "wing" on a pig like there is on a chicken.

It's likely you're thinking of pork shoulder, which is often called pork "wings" in some areas, especially in places like the Caribbean. It's the part of the pig that runs from the neck to the front legs.

Here's what you need to know:

* What it is: The shoulder is a tougher cut of meat, but it's incredibly flavorful and becomes incredibly tender when cooked low and slow.

* Why it's called "wings": The shoulder is often used to make "wings" in dishes like jerk pork because it's a large cut that can be easily cut into smaller pieces resembling wings.

So, while "pork wings" isn't a real cut of meat, it's a common name for pork shoulder, which is a delicious and versatile ingredient for cooking.
