Ingredients
🍗 2 pounds chicken wings
🥫 1 cup store-bought sofrito
🧅 1 large onion, chopped
🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
🫑 1 green pepper, chopped
🌶️ 1 yellow pepper, chopped
🌿 1 teaspoon Dominican oregano (or regular oregano)
🌶️ 1 packet Sazon
🧂 1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
🟡 1 chicken bouillon cube
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌿 1 teaspoon ground coriander
🍃 2 tablespoons cilantro lime dressing/marinade (optional)
🍅 2 tablespoons tomato paste
🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil
🥣 Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1- Preparation:
- Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2- Marinate:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with sofrito, garlic, onion, green and yellow peppers, oregano, Sazon, Adobo, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, and cilantro lime dressing.
- Toss to ensure the wings are well-coated with the marinade.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor absorption.
3- Searing:
- In a large, wide pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken wings and sear until they are golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4- Stewing:
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the chopped onions, garlic, green pepper, and yellow pepper to the pot, stirring occasionally until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, chicken bouillon, and about 1 cup of water to the pot.
- Stir to combine all ingredients and bring to a simmer.
5- Cook:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the wings stew for 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Stir occasionally, and add more water if necessary to maintain a saucy consistency.
- Cook until the wings are tender and the flavors are well-blended.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot with rice, plantains, or a side of your choice.
