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.
