Ingredients
- 4-6 chicken wings approx. 1/2 lb
- 1-2 plum tomatoes
- 1/2 cup white rice uncooked
- 1 cup stock
- 1/4 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1-2 chipotle in adobo or less for a milder version
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- pinch of cumin optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly cracked
- olive oil
Instructions
- Heat up a glug of oil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan or soup pot. Add the chicken wings and brown each side for a few minutes. Once browned you can set the chicken pieces aside for now.
- Add 1/2 cup uncooked rice to the pan. Give it a good stir and cook over medium heat for a few minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown.
- As the rice cooks add the following ingredients to a blender or food processor: 1-2 plum tomatoes, 1/4 onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1-2 chipotles in adobo. Combine well. Notes: be sure to rinse and de-stem the tomato(s), and feel free to use only half of a chipotle for a milder version. I also usually scrape out the seeds of chipotles but this is optional. More info on working with chipotles in adobo.
- Once the rice is starting to turn golden brown you can add the blended tomato-chipotle mixture to the pan. Let it simmer for a couple minutes, stirring regularly. Then add the remaining ingredients: 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, pinch of cumin (optional), 1/4 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 cup stock. Combine well and bring this mixture up to a boil. I usually take a final taste for salt level at this point -- I added another generous pinch of salt but keep in mind this will depend on which stock you're using.
- Add the browned chicken pieces to the pan, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer ('low' on my stove). Let cook for 20-25 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Once the liquid is absorbed you can set it aside and let it sit in its own steam for a few minutes, covered. Then it's time to serve it up. Enjoy!
