Has anyone done the Pork Wing thing?

So I read this article recently about Pork Wings:

NFL week 1, there they were, available at my local Patriots viewing area.

I was amazed!  I spoke with the staff and they said they come fully cooked and frozen and the bar finishes them off.

I ordered some from the butcher custom cut and got them today.  They are basically the shank cut in 2" segments bone in.

Curious if anyone has attempted making these from scratch?  I am way into adding flavor & cooking from the egg but am wondering if like a pressure cooker start is a good way to get this going?  

OR-  if anyone has shank experience and any recommendations?

Cheers- and Thanks!

    Did them at the '10 Sunshine Fest.  Great snack.  hard to find at retail level..  Have a restaurant owner friend that will order them from Sysco here in Florida when I need them.

    Appetizer, Florida Sunshine State Leprechaun Wings '10, Richard Fl

    Leprechaun Wings are made from Leprechaun Shanks that are trimmed leaving just the smaller single bone surrounded with lean tender pork meat to make fresh Leprechaun Wings.  Leprechaun Wings are a new rival of turkey legs and chicken wings. Leprechaun Wings are often served with a sweet and spicy sauce. The great thing about Leprechaun Wings is that they have more meat on them and are easier to eat than chicken wings. Hot or mild Leprechaun Wings,

    PROCEDURE:

    1. These wings, (The small bone from a pork shank), were ordered pre-cooked. They were defrosted, rinsed and placed in a BBQ chili lime marinade for 48 hours in the refrigerator. For the cook they were cooked indirect at 350°F for 25-30 minutes and pulled when they reached 155°F-160°F. Sauceing is an option.

    2. BBQ slow-cooked mini Leprechaun Wings are a full meal.

    3. Prepare Leprechaun Wings barbecue (low heat). Grill Leprechaun Wings until crusty and crisp and cooked thoroughly, basting with Leprechaun Wing Sauce, turning occasionally for about 25 minutes. Serve Leprechaum Wings immediately.

    Yield: 120 Servings, Each Piece  2-3 Ozs

    Recipe Type: Appetizer

    Tips
    These were special ordered from the Hatfield Meat Company in Hatfield, PA. They are called reebiz. In five years I have only been able to find them at commercial sources and in a few restaurants. Several restaurant suppliers have them here in the southeast. Have yet to see them in a grocery store in the meat section.

    We called them Leprechauan Wings 'cause my co-cooker is Irish and St Patty's Day was close by.
