Ingredients
To prepare this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

*For the wings:*
- 7-8 chicken wings (approximately 500-600 g)
- 50 ml olive oil
- 50 ml white wine
- 50 ml water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Sweet paprika (or hot, depending on preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped herbs (parsley, celery, and sage)

*For the vegetables:*
- 300 g green peas (fresh or canned)
- 4 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 250 g assorted wild mushrooms (chanterelles, saffron milk caps, champignon)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation steps

*Step 1: Preparing the wings*
Start by washing and drying the chicken wings thoroughly. This step is essential to ensure your dish will be clean and tasty.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine, water, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create a flavorful marinade. Add salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Mix the ingredients well to ensure the flavors combine.
Place the wings in the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.

*Step 2: Preparing the vegetables*
While the wings are marinating, you can prepare the vegetables. In a skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots and sauté for 5 minutes until they become slightly soft. Then add the green peas and mushrooms.
Pour in a cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the vegetables simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes until tender. Don't forget to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

*Step 3: Baking the wings*
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens).
After the marinating time is up, remove the wings from the bowl and place them in a heatproof dish. Pour the remaining marinade over them, seasoning with a little pepper and paprika to enhance the flavor.
Put the dish in the preheated oven and let the wings bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy. You can turn the wings halfway through the baking time for even browning.

*Step 4: Finishing the dish*
Once the wings are ready, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the wings alongside the prepared vegetables, sprinkled with a little fresh dill, both for an attractive appearance and an added flavor.
