Method

Boning the wings

First, using a large heavy knife, cut off the tips of the bones at either end of each wing to make them easier to bone.
Bring the 1 litre (1¾ pints) water to the boil in a saucepan and blanch the wings for 2-3 minutes. Take them out with a slotted spoon, drain them on a cloth and allow to cool.
