Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pot large enough to hold chicken wings in a single layer. Add chicken wings, cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Turn wings with tongs, cook until second side is browned, about 8 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl using tongs.

  2. Stir onions, garlic, and ginger into the drippings in the pot, cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in rice and cumin. Add water, 1 1/2 cup cilantro stems, tomatoes, sriracha sauce, and salt.

  3. Return wings to the pot. Bring broth to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice and wings are tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro stems.

Recipe Note

Chicken with rice, or arroz con pollo, is a staple at our house. This dish is highly seasoned with cumin, ginger, garlic, and a great deal of cilantro. We like it best when it is made with chicken wings.
