"Big Game" Duck Wing Guide

Wings and the "Big Game” are pretty much synonymous. Americans consume millions of wings each year while watching professional football crown its next champion. Why? Because they are guaranteed crowd pleasers. Though your first thought may be to turn to chicken wings when searching for recipes to serve to your guests, you should change up your game plan by fixing duck wings.

Maple Leaf Farms Fully Cooked Duck Wings are perfect "Big Game" fare because they are convenient and versatile. Whether you pop them in the oven or fryer, they prepare in just minutes. And, the tender, rich flavor of duck wrapped in a crispy, golden brown coating allows duck wings to be served in your favorite sweet, savory or hot sauce. Your options are endless.
