4 teaspoons wing sauce Saucy Mama hot
1 juice from lemon, about 1/4 cup
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons honey
1 pinch salt big of, and pepper, to taste
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cans chickpeas garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well
1/4 cup wing sauce Saucy Mama hot, divided
2 tablespoons oil
2 mixed salad greens 10s oz bags of
1 cucumber peeled and diced
1 avocado peeled, pitted and diced
2 cups goat cheese crumbled, about 6- 7 ounces

1
To make the chickpeas, preheat oven to 400 degrees and place the oven rack to the upper third position.
2
Place chickpeas on a large, rimmed baking sheet, add 2 T hot wing sauce and 2 T oil. Using your hands, toss them together so all of the chickpeas are coated.
3
Bake for 15 minutes, then pull a chickpea out to taste. If you'd like them spicier, toss in an additional tablespoon (or two) of hot wing sauce and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Even if you don't add more sauce, they still need to bake for another 15 minutes or so until they're slightly crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside. When they're finished baking, let them cool off, then transfer to a serving bowl.
4
To make the dressing, put all ingredients except oil into a small bowl and whisk to combine. While continuing to whisk, add the oil in a small, continuous stream. Dressing should thicken slightly as it combines.
5
At this point, you can place all of the ingredients in separate bowls for guests to build their own salads or toss the greens, dressing, cucumbers, and avocados together, then sprinkle the goat cheese and some of the chickpeas on top.
