VWB Blog Pork knuckles are the knuckles on the three knuckles on each hand, except that if you are missing one of them, the other two are enlarged. They are also edible and delicious. The knuckles of pigs have more fat content than humans, making them a higher percentage of lean meat. However, the fat content of pork knuckles is shallow, so most of the fat is in the other parts of the pig, making it desirable for cooking.
Pork Knuckles
(Turkey Knuckles) are a cut of pork that has had the skin removed. They are usually baked and deep-fried but sometimes sliced or boiled, then placed on a bun or skewered and grilled. They are typically included in an entire meal, but sometimes they are served as a separate food item. Here are the best pork knuckles from all around the world:

Their pork knuckles are made using a conventional rotisserie style, which adds a delightful textural experience and helps lock in the meat’s flavour.

Brauhaus Restaurant & Pub
Located at Wicker Park, a menu includes pork knuckles and veal shank. Waiter Alessandro, who described himself as Brauhaus’s “Italian dude,” told me that his favourite item on the menu is the pork knuckles. I didn’t ask him for an explanation for this unusual preference. Still, I can assume that the meatiness of the knuckles was appealing, along with the half-moon bone shape, which is a delicacy in itself. I’m not sure how many other restaurants.
