Making Delicious Chicken Wings Stew Recipe
Ingredients
2 pounds of chicken wings
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow pepper seeded and sliced
4 large ripe fresh tomatoes (finely diced)
2 cups of chicken broth
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder (optional)
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparing the Chicken Wings Start by washing the chicken wings under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, separate the chicken wings into individual sections, discarding the tips (optional). This will make them easier to eat and enhance the stew’s flavour.
Season the wings with oil, salt and pepper, mix well then set aside
Brown the Chicken Wings
Line a baking tray with parchment paper then add the wings. Heat the oven to 400 degrees then bake for 20 minutes flipping it halfway. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes. Alternatively, in a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken wings to the pot and cook until they turn golden brown on all sides. This step helps to seal in the juices, resulting in tender and succulent chicken wings in the stew. Once browned, remove the chicken wings from the pot and set them aside.
Sautéing the Vegetables Add the diced onion, and minced garlic, and saute until fragrant but not burnt. Add the tomatoes and cook until soft and paste-like consistency, then add all the spices and mix well. Add the bell pepper to the same pot.
Simmering the Stew Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the browned chicken wings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Allow the stew to simmer gently for around 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken wings are cooked through and tender. Keep an eye on the stew while it simmers, stirring occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Serving and Garnishing: Once the chicken wings stew is cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the stew into serving bowls, ensuring each bowl receives a generous portion of chicken wings and vegetables.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of fresh flavour and colour. Serve the stew hot alongside crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.

About Devine Dishes
A lifelong love of cooking, one delicious recipe at a time.
Welcome to Devine Dishes! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm the cook, recipe creator, and food lover behind this little corner of the internet. Born and raised in Kenya, my love for cooking started when I was very young. Even as a child, I would happily volunteer to cook for the family, leaving the dishes and laundry for my siblings. Looking back, I think I had already discovered my passion and a clever way to avoid some chores! 😜
Where My Love for Cooking Began
In high school, I chose Home Science and quickly discovered that baking was something I truly enjoyed. I went on to win awards in provincial school baking competitions for three consecutive years. Those were incredibly proud moments for me, and I loved the feeling of creating something delicious with my own hands.
But not everyone saw cooking the way I did.
I still remember the day my chemistry teacher laughed out loud in class after I received one of my baking medals. He told me I was wasting my time with cooking and that I should focus on the sciences, which would give me a better future than cookies and cakes.
It was an embarrassing moment, especially as a student who was proud of something she had worked hard to achieve. But I didn't stop cooking.
That experience stayed with me, not because it changed my passion, but because it reminded me that sometimes you have to believe in yourself even when others don't understand your dreams.
From Cooking for Family to Building a Food Business
Over the years, my love for cooking has taken me on quite a journey.
I've explored different food business ideas, from cooking and selling chapatis and mandazis to catering, meal preparation, and delivery. Each experience taught me something new about food, business, and the joy of sharing a good meal with others.
Today, I'm excited to bring that passion to food blogging.
Devine Dishes is a place where I share the recipes I love, the ones I'm learning, and the ones I can't wait for you to try. You'll find African and Kenyan favorites, comforting family meals, delicious baking recipes, and practical dishes that make cooking at home enjoyable.
My goal is simple: to help you discover recipes that are delicious, approachable, and worth making again.
More Than Just Recipes
For me, food has always been about more than feeding people. It's about family, memories, creativity, and bringing people together.
When I'm not working, you'll often find me trying out new recipes, creating and editing content, or spending time with family. Sometimes we're swimming, watching TV, or simply chatting over a good meal. Those ordinary moments are some of my favorite moments.
I also love traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and foods. I'm hoping to do much more of it in the near future, and I'm excited about the inspiration those experiences will bring to my cooking and future recipes.
Thank You for Being Here
Whether you're visiting Devine Dishes for a Kenyan recipe, looking for something delicious to bake, or simply exploring new meals to try, thank you for being part of this journey.
