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.
