Oven-baked chicken wings on a bed of vegetables When I'm not sure what to cook and need something reliable, I pull chicken wings out of the freezer. I've made this recipe several times, especially on days when I want to use up leftover vegetables from the fridge. It's the kind of dish that you can leave in the oven without having to constantly check on it. I've found that it turns out best in a glass baking dish, and at the end, I sprinkle a bit of dill, not just for appearance but for flavor. Quick Info Total time: approx. 2 hours and 15 minutes Preparation time: 15-20 minutes Baking time: 2 hours Servings: 3 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: main dish, suitable for lunch or dinner Ingredients 9 chicken wings 2 dried onions 12 thin green onions 5 large potatoes 250 g red and green bell peppers (julienned) 350 g canned diced tomatoes Salt Pepper 1 teaspoon vegetable seasoning 50 ml oil Fresh dill (for sprinkling at the end) 1 glass of water (approx. 200 ml) Preparation steps 1. Clean the wings of any feathers and other remnants, then wash them and let them drain. 2. Finely chop the dried onion. Cut the green onions into short pieces. 3. Peel the potatoes, then slice them into thin rounds. 4. In a glass baking dish (or any large ceramic dish), first place the julienned peppers. Add the dried and green onions on top. Season with salt and pepper, then gently mix to distribute evenly. 5. Place the potato slices over the vegetable layer. Add the diced tomatoes with their juice on top. Pour about 50 ml of oil over the vegetables and stir again, so the potatoes don’t dry out. 6. Arrange the wings on top of the vegetables in a single layer. Sprinkle the teaspoon of seasoning over them and drizzle with a little oil. 7. Pour a glass of water into the dish, from the side, so you don’t wash off the seasoning from the wings. 8. Place the dish in the oven at medium heat (approx. 180°C if using an electric oven) for about 2 hours. There’s no need to turn the wings or stir during baking. 9. After removing from the oven, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh dill. Why I make this recipe often I like it because I don’t have to watch the oven. The wings come out tender, and the vegetables absorb the flavor of the meat juices. It’s a good way to use up leftover vegetables from the fridge. The portions are suitable for a family meal. Tips and variations Tips If the vegetables seem too dry after the first hour, you can add a little more water, but usually, it’s not necessary. Do not reduce the baking time; the potatoes need to be fully cooked. Use a covered dish or cover with foil if you know your oven dries things out too much. Substitutions If you don’t have green onions, you can use only dried onions, but the flavor will be a bit stronger. Canned diced tomatoes can be replaced with fresh diced tomatoes when in season. The seasoning can be omitted if you prefer without. Variations You can use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of wings, but the baking time remains about the same. Add carrots or zucchini if you have them on hand, but don’t change the order of the layers to avoid excessive softening. Serving ideas Serve directly from the dish, along with the sauce formed. It goes well with a cabbage salad or pickles if you want something sour on the side. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use frozen wings? Yes, but they need to be thawed and well drained beforehand to avoid excess water. 2. Do I need to turn the wings during baking? No, it’s not necessary. They brown on top and leave enough fat over the vegetables. 3. What if my wings burn on top? If you see they are browning too much in the last half hour, you can cover the dish with foil. 4. Can I add garlic? Yes, if you like, you can put a few cloves of garlic among the vegetables, but it’s not part of the original recipe. 5. Can I omit the seasoning? You can if you don’t usually use such seasonings. You can supplement with a little thyme or paprika if you want more flavor. Nutritional values Estimate for one serving (1/3 of the recipe): approximately 500-600 kcal, 28-30g protein, 20-25g fat, 50-60g carbohydrates. Values are approximate and may vary depending on the wings and how much oil is actually used. Storage and reheating It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. When reheating, the potatoes become a little softer, but the taste remains good. It can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Long-term storage or freezing is not recommended because the vegetables change texture.
