Chicken wing paella

For a paella with a protein that's easy to share, try this twist on a classic Spanish rice dish by serving it with chicken wings! You can use bomba rice, calasparra rice, or even koshihikari or arborio rice for this dish.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • Salt
  • 700 g chicken wings, flats and drumettes only
  • 200 g green beans, trimmed, cut into 5 cm lengths
  • ½ can (about 150 g) butter beans, drained
  • ½ cup passata
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • A good pinch of saffron, soaking in ¼ cup hot water
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock powder
  • 2 cups short or medium grain rice (e.g. koshihikari or arborio)
  • Lemon wedges, roughly chopped parsley, to serve

Resting time: 5 minutes

Instructions

  1. Heat a large paella pan or large frying pan over medium heat. Add half the oil and fry the chicken wings until lightly browned, seasoning well with salt. Add the green beans, butter beans, passata and the sweet and smoked paprika and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the saffron, chicken stock and stock powder and bring to a simmer.
  2. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the rice. Stir gently to mix everything together, then simmer for about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a further 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is evaporated. You should be able to hear the rice begin to crackle on the base of the pan. Cover the pan and stand for a further 5 minutes, then uncover and serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.
