Ingredients
- 2 dozen chicken wings
- Flour, for dredging
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup Spanish olive oil
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- Bay leaf
- 2 lemons, halved
- 10 roasted cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup Spanish sherry
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place flour in a shallow platter and season it by adding paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to incorporate, then dredge the wings in the flour.
- Heat oil in a skillet and brown the chicken wings on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a platter. Add the pepper flakes, bay leaf, lemons, garlic, oregano, sherry, and chicken broth to the pan.

Outstanding! I live in Spain and I can tell you that this recipe is quite authentic. My “go to” chicken recipe for pleasing crowds!
Terrific! Appetizers during cocktail party…again, terrific. One eval reads critical of too much sauce. I have never been to a party or bar w appetizers when chicken wings got drenched.. This recipe made 40 silicon valley, ca people very happy! Thanks.

This really was very easy, and SO good!
This recipe should be named “Smothered Chicken”. The sauce that it is braised in is very flavorful and my family loved the sauce. The next time I cook this, I will completly fry the wings, and then drizzle the sauce on the wings before serving. When I cooked the recipe as directed, it came out really soggy and messy and greasy, but very flavorful.
I usually love his recipes but this one didn’t hit the mark for me. I would add more roasted garlic and perhaps a splash more sherry. It just needed a little something.
I did not have Spanish sherry so instead I used beer, and they were the best chicken wings I have had in a long time..
All of the flavors go together to give a great taste. It is messy – a 3 napkin meal- but really good!
very greasy and very unpleasant skin. do not recommend
Yuck! This one’s just not for me! Mine didn’t taste like garlic, it was more like lemon with a hint of garlic, and I only used 1 lemon instead of the 2. The sauce thickened up and made the chicken soggy.
The wings tasted great without the sauce, before I mixed everything together. I will keep this frying method in mind the next time I make wings. I will omit this sauce and make a different sauce.
The sauce had great flavor but the skin on the chicken wings felt slightly mushy because of the flour that coated it before browning. After simmering in the sauce, it got kind of mushy. Still very good. Would make again.
