Ingredients

  • 1 kilogram chicken wings cut into drumette and wingette; wing tips set aside for future use
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning (store bought)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup chopped bell peppers
  • ¼ cup chopped carrot
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced celery
  • 250 grams fresh mushrooms (see notes after the recipe)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 cup rice (see notes after the recipe)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken bone broth
  • chopped parsley to garnish
  • lemon wedges to serve

Instructions

  • Wipe the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Place the chicken in a bowl, add the lemon pepper seasoning and mix well.
  • Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least three hours.
  • In a heavy frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter.
  • Lay the chicken pieces in the oil, skin side down, and brown all sides, turning the pieces over for even cooking. Scoop out the chicken and set aside.

Connie’s Notes

Use fresh mushrooms for best results. Shimeji was used here but button mushrooms will work just as well.
The texture of the cooked dish will depend largely on the rice variety used. Short and medium-grain rice are stickier. If you prefer something similar to biryani, go for long-grain rice like Basmati.
