Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds chicken wings bone-in
  • 1 small white onion large dice
  • 4 medium carrots about 1 cup peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups sweet potato peeled and cubed
  • 3-4 garlic cloves
  • 32 ounces Chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Ras el Hanout Spice

  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • In a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the onions and carrots and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions start to sweat. Then add the garlic and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, continuing to stir.
  • Push the veggies to the side and add in the chicken wings. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the chicken and veggies. Let it sear for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and pour in the chicken broth and add the tomato paste. Give it a stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on and bring to a boil then turn it down to a simmer. Simmer with the lid on for about 40-45 min. Then remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Chicken should fall off the bone and the sweet potatoes should be tender.

Notes

Notes:
Storing and reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stove top on low or use the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Helpful tips:
  • Sear the wings for extra flavor.
  • The skin can be removed but I suggest keeping the skin on for flavor in the broth.
  • Let the chicken wings simmer slowly, don’t rush the process.
  • Adjust the broth to the thickness you like- reduce it down or add more broth.
