Chicken Wing Stew

Here is an easy recipe you can enjoy with your family: Chicken Wing Stew. This dish is versatile because you can use chicken wings or also chicken legs or thighs. Also, you can enjoy the stewed chicken by itself or serve it on top of fresh jasmine rice, just like how my husband prefers it! This dinner will have a nice sauce to it, so you can also dip some bread.
For this recipe, most of the ingredients were from my Imperfect Foods delivery. Quick Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Imperfect Foods, I just really love their services.
Can you substitute out any of the vegetables or the protein?
You sure can! This recipe was created intuitively with vegetables I had on hand. If you don’t have kale, no problem! You want to leave the potatoes out? Sure, it will still taste delicious!
This recipe is made with chicken but if you happen to want to try this with another kind of meat, I suggest beef or lamb. To keep it vegetarian, garbanzo beans would compliment these flavors well.
Can this Chicken Wing Stew be made in a slow cooker?
Though I have only made this my dutch oven on a stove top, this recipe can be made in a slow cooker. I would cook it on low settings. Also I’m big fan of cooking stews the night before and serving it the next day. It gives time for the flavors to join together. Whether you are using a dutch oven or a slow cooker, you will want the chicken to be tender and falling off the bone.
Is this stew spicy?
Nope, not at all. There is an ingredient in my spice blend called Sumac. Sumac is a popular spice used in middle eastern cuisine and it adds a touch of acidity to this dish. Sumac can be found at World Market and some major grocery stores may carry it. A good substitute for Sumac can be either a touch of vinegar or lemon zest.
