- When the chicken stew is done cooking, remove the wings before serving (but you can keep the meat in if desired) and add a bit more wine

Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon cut into 1/8” strips.
- 1 lb. chicken wings
- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs; cut in-half horizontally and trimmed.
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 onions diced
- 1 celery rib minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 5 cups unsalted chicken broth divided
- 1 1/8 cup dry white wine divided into 1 cup and 1/8 cups
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 1 tablespoons sections
- 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 lb. small new red potatoes washed & quartered
- Garnish: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cook bacon in a Dutch oven, over medium-low heat, until bacon browns then transfer bacon to a large bowl. Turn heat to medium-high.
- In small batches, and without crowding the pan, sear the chicken wings and thighs in the bacon fat. If more fat is needed, add 2 tablespoons canola oil. Place seared chicken in the bowl with the bacon.
- Reduce heat to medium and place the carrots in the Dutch oven and cook carrots until softened. Add the diced onion and celery and cook until onion is translucent and celery has softened. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until it is fragrant and bloomed.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1-cup wine, 1-cup broth and Worcestershire Sauce. Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces to ¼ cup and vegetables start to sizzle, 12-15 minutes.
- Add butter and stir to melt. Sprinkle the vegetables with flour and stir.
- Gradually add the remaining 4 cups of broth, thyme and smoked paprika then whisk until smooth.
- Add quartered potatoes; bring to a low boil.
- Turn off heat. Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Transfer stew to the oven. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- Transfer pot to stovetop and scrape fond off sides of pot with wooden spoon into the stew. Stir well. Add chicken thighs and wings and bacon.
- Return pot to oven and continue cooking, uncovered, 45 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
- (At this point the stew can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)
- Before serving, discard wings (see *Note) and add 2-4 tablespoons white wine. Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Enjoy!
- *Note: The meat from the chicken wings can be placed in the stew or frozen for later use; chicken salad, chicken soups or quesadillas are a few possibilities.

Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe! I have never been a big soup/stew maker, but my hubby grew up with them so I thought I’d give this one a try. I was not Disappointed, and neither was he! It turned out great and was pretty easy to make! I SUBSTITUTED THE RED POTATOES FOR REGULAR OLE Idaho BROWN POTATOEs SINCE I already had so many on hand, I also only used one pack (2lbs I think) of Chicken Thighs because it seemed like a lot already and ended up being plenty of chicken. Lastly, I didn’t have smoked paprika, so I just added a bit more salt + pepper for flavor. I will definitely be making this tasty soup again! Thanks a bunch!
P.S. loved cooking with wine…in my hand.
I’m so glad you loved it! Your subs sound awesome. Thanks for letting me know!!
Time consuming prep, but the flavor is fantastic, and definitely worth the Effort. Thank you for another winning recipe, becky!
YAY! SO happy to hear that.
Wow, This Recipe is soo Good. My very picky family loved it!
So happy to hear that :)
informative post.
This blog is really very creative Thanks for sharing this post with us.
I like chicken very much and that is my favourite dish to cook and to it. I am pleased to have found your site.
I added baby bella mushrooms and petite peas. Also par-boiled the potatoes, and put everything in the oven at once. Cooked at 350 for 45 minutes. Came out great!
nice thanks for sharing
I prepared this in a Crock-Pot to reduce my hands-on time. It was delicious!
I followed the instructions through Step 4, then stirred the flour, salt and pepper into the vegetables with the heat off. I transferred the cooked bacon, browned chicken and the vegetables to the Crock Pot. Then I covered everything (including the potatoes) with 1/2 cup wine and 1 cup chicken broth. I cooked this on High (6 hours) and served it on top of buttered egg noodles. It was fantastic!
Delicious! I cooked it on the stove top using chicken wings only and it came out fabulous. I also added mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe! My husband devoured it.
