Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the pot in batches and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove wings and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add minced garlic to the vegetable mix and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
Return the seared chicken wings to the pot. Add the bay leaf and fresh thyme.
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and the flavors are melded.
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm.
