Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Step: Pat chicken wings dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
- Step: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear wings in batches until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Step: Add remaining olive oil to the skillet and sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 5–7 minutes until softened; stir in minced garlic for 1 minute, then remove vegetables from the pan.
- Step: Melt butter in the same skillet and whisk in flour, cooking for 2–3 minutes to form a roux.
- Step: Slowly whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Step: Return wings to the skillet, top with the sautéed vegetables, cover, and simmer on low for 30–40 minutes until tender.
Notes
Ensure wings are patted completely dry before searing to achieve the best golden-brown color. If you prefer oven cooking, transfer everything to a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes covered with foil.
