A steaming bowl of chicken wings stew is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for warming up during cold winter days or enjoying with family and friends.
Start by washing the chicken wings under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
If using whole wings, start by separating 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
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. Once browned, remove the chicken wings from the pot and set them aside.
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.- Sauté the vegetables for about 2 minutes
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.Stir occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary
Garnish with parsley then serve and enjoy
