Asian Style BBQ Duck Wings

Duck is popular in stateside Chinese restaurants, but this recipe turns it into one of America’s favorite apps—wings. Chef Tran starts with packaged duck wings—now available for foodservice—marinating them in Asian flavors including oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and a little crushed red pepper for heat. Try them instead of the usual chicken wings on the appetizer menu.
