- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 liter water
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
- 1 small potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 small carrot, sliced

Instructions
- In a personal pan or small pot, add the chicken wings, water, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes if using.
- Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add potato and carrot to the pan and simmer for another 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove bay leaf and carefully drain most of the broth, leaving 2–3 tablespoons in the pan.
- Add vegetable oil and raise heat to medium. Pan-fry wings and vegetables for 3–5 minutes until golden and coated in the remaining seasoning.
- Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley or coriander before serving.
Notes

- Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor profile.
- Swap potato for sweet potato or add corn for variation.
- Finish with a dab of butter for a richer sauce.
