1 lb. dried lima beans
3 c. water
8 chicken wings (1 1/4 lbs.)
1/4 c. butter
1 c. onions, chopped
3 carrots, diced (1 1/2 c.)
2 tbsp. flour
2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk

Wash beans and cover with water and let soak overnight. Bring soaked beans to a boil and let simmer for 35 minutes, partly covered. Cut chicken wings at joint to separate. Melt butter in large pan, add chicken wings and brown. Cook slow, turn and brown on each side. Drain on paper towels. Add onions and carrots to fat remaining in skillet.
