Ingredients
For the Chickpea Wings:
1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup buffalo sauce (plus extra for coating)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rice paper wrappers
Neutral oil for frying (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
For dipping your Chickpea Wings:
-
Fabalish Ranch or Fabalish Chili Crisp Ranch
Directions
Step 1 Smash the Chickpeas
Place the chickpeas in a bowl and lightly smash them with a fork or potato masher. Leave some texture for a hearty bite. Mix in the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
Step 2 Prepare the Rice Paper Wraps

Fill a shallow dish with warm water.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens (don’t over-soak). Place it on a clean surface.
Step 3 Assemble the Chickpea Wings
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the chickpea mixture into the center of the softened rice paper. Fold the sides in and roll it up tightly, like a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining chickpea mixture and rice paper.
Step 4 Fry the Chickpea Wings
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the wrapped chickpea wings into the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Transfer chickpea wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5 Serve and Dip Your chickpea wings
Arrange the Chickpea Wings on a plate. Serve with celery or carrot sticks and don't forget a generous side of Fabalish Ranch or Chili Crisp Ranch for dipping. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
