Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
- 1 bay leaf
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken wings on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the wings from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half.
- Add the chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Return the chicken wings to the pan, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pan and cook for 30-35 minutes until the wings are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken for 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove the bay leaf and serve the fricassee hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy with your favorite side dish!
