Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and dice the onion. Peel and slice the carrot into rounds. Chop the celery stalk.
Step 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 7-10 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Step 5
Remove the chicken wings and set aside on a plate.
Step 6
In the same pot, add the minced garlic, onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 7
Return the chicken wings to the pot. Add the low sodium chicken stock, lemon juice, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let it braise for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
Check if the chicken is cooked thoroughly by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Once cooked, remove from heat. Discard the bay leaf.
Step 11
Serve the braised chicken wings garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
