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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Do I have to bake the wings before adding them to the stew?
No, browning them stovetop in a pot works just as well. Baking is simply an alternative method to seal in juices without extra stirring.
2. Can I use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of wings?
Yes, other bone-in cuts work well too, though cooking time may need slight adjusting since thighs and drumsticks are larger.
3. What can I replace for chicken broth if I don’t have any?
Vegetable broth or water with a bouillon cube both work as easy substitutes without significantly changing the stew’s flavor.
4. How spicy is this stew, and can I adjust the heat?
It’s mild by default since the chili powder is optional. Add more or omit it entirely to control the spice level.
5. What is the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, then reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat.
