Duck Wings with Peppers and Onions

Texas cooking wants steady heat, clean edges, and enough confidence to keep the protein central. This version uses Peppers and Onions and a whole roast finish so the Duck Wings stays central instead of getting buried under the rest of the plate.

1 1/2 to 2 pounds Duck Wings
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Neutral oil or rendered fat
1 to 2 cups Peppers
1 to 2 cups Onions
Optional: 1 small Cilantro
1 tablespoon butter

Trim and season the Duck Wings while you prep the Peppers and Onions.
Set up the pan, pot, or oven before you start cooking so the timing stays calm once the protein goes down.
Roast until the bird or small game is just done, then rest briefly so the juices settle back into place.
Fold in the Peppers and Onions at the right point so they support the cut instead of dissolving into the background.
Rest or hold the protein briefly, then serve while the pan juices or broth still feel connected to the plate.

Keep the seasoning clean and let the cut set the pace. Leftovers keep best when cooled quickly and packed shallow; Texas meals built around Duck Wings are usually stronger on day one than after repeated reheats.
