Clean the chicken wings with salt and lime juice, or vinegar, and pour hot boiling water over them for 5-10 minutes, then drain.

Chop celery, onion, carrots, and potatoes, and soak potatoes in cool water to prevent browning.

Mix together 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of adobo, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper for seasoning.

In a large pot over medium to high heat, add the chicken wings and half of the seasoning mix, along with 2 cups of water to cover the wings.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes until boiling, then add the remaining 5 cups of water and the vegetables (carrots, celery, half of the onion).

Squeeze in the juice of the second lime and add the remaining seasoning mix and bay leaves.

Cook for 15 minutes, then add the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of butter, and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
