1 onion large onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp olive oil or other neutral cooking oil

Arrange the wings in a deep baking dish.
Spread the Onions, bell peppers, and celery over the wings and set aside.
Combine all the ingredients for the gravy. Mix till all the flour is completely dissolved
Pour inside the baking pan. Avoid washing away all the seasoning.

Serve over white rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

I divided the wings into wingettes and Drummettes. Just a personal preference. You may choose not to divide it if you don’t want to.
As always, there are variations that you can make to this recipe. To begin with, you can omit the bell peppers and replace with Carrots or mushrooms.
This recipe is for 3 lbs wings if you are cooking for more people, simply double or triple the recipe. Likewise, you may divide the recipe if cooking for a lesser group of people.
If you like more gravy, feel free to double the recipe of the flour mixture.
