- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped

- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the chicken wings with the Old Bay and season with salt and pepper.

- Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

- Add the beer and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Boil for 3 minutes, then add the stock and chickpeas.
