Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

- 10 chicken wings
- 150 g boiled peas
- 2 boiled carrots, diced
- 100 g boiled corn
- 10 cloves of garlic, minced
- 50 ml oil
- 250 ml water
- 2 oranges, peeled and sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika (optional, for extra spiciness)

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by heating the oil in a wok. Add the diced boiled carrots, peas, and corn. These vegetables are not only colorful but also full of nutrients, providing a wonderful contrast to the wings. Add 100 ml of water, salt, and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the water almost evaporates.

2. Adding flavors: After the water has reduced, add the minced garlic and, if you like a spicier taste, a bit of paprika. Gently mix to combine the flavors. Garlic not only adds an intense flavor but also has antibacterial properties, making it a beneficial ingredient for health.

3. Preparing the wings: Meanwhile, prepare the chicken wings. Clean them and twist them for a more attractive appearance. This step is not only aesthetic but also allows for even marination of the meat. Season them with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil, then place them in a baking dish.

4. Cooking the wings: Add 250 ml of water to the dish, then cover everything with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and place the dish inside. Let the wings bake for 30 minutes, ensuring they cook evenly and become tender.

5. Glazing: After 30 minutes, remove the baking paper and brush the wings with honey. This step is crucial, as the honey will create a delicious glaze, bringing a pleasant contrast between sweet and salty. Add the orange slices to the dish, which will infuse the meat with their fresh aroma.

6. Finishing the dish: Turn off the heat and let the wings rest in the oven for another 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become even juicier.

7. Serving: Serve the glazed wings alongside the spicy vegetable garnish. These vegetables add color and texture, and the combination of flavors is sure to impress everyone.

Serving suggestions:

For a complete meal, you can add a fresh green salad or a buttery herb mashed potatoes, which will perfectly complement the wings. Additionally, a refreshing drink, such as mint lemonade, will add a touch of freshness.

Useful tips:

- Spicy version: If you are a fan of spicy foods, you can also add fresh chili peppers or chili flakes to the vegetable mix.
- Vegetarian alternative: You can replace the chicken wings with tofu or mushrooms, marinated in soy sauce and then baked for a delicious vegetarian option.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: This recipe is rich in protein due to the chicken and contains a significant amount of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Each serving has approximately 350-400 calories, offering a balanced meal.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use other vegetables? Yes, you can experiment with vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers, depending on your preferences.
