Ingredients needed:

- 1 jar of green beans (or frozen beans for a fresh taste)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 glass of dry white wine
- 1 large carrot
- A handful of fresh dill
- Olive oil
- Salt, pepper, curry, sweet paprika, basil (to taste)

Preparation of ingredients:
1. Chicken wings: Rinse the chicken wings well under cold water and dry them with a paper towel. This step is essential for achieving a crispy crust.
2. Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and garlic, and slice the carrot into thin rounds for even cooking. The dill will be chopped finely before serving.
3. Beans: If using canned beans, drain and rinse them under cold water to remove excess salt.

Cooking method:
1. Seasoning the wings: In a bowl, season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, curry, sweet paprika, and basil. Mix well so that all wings are evenly coated with the spices.
2. Frying the wings: In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken wings and fry them for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
3. Adding the vegetables: Once the wings are fried, add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Deglazing with wine: Pour the glass of white wine into the skillet, stirring to release the caramelized flavors from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
5. Cooking with broth: Add the sliced carrot and enough water or broth to cover the wings. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
6. Adding the beans: Once the wings are nearly done, add the drained green beans. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
