PISTACHIO PLANT CHICKEN WINGS WITH DIPPING SAUCE
makes 2 servings as a meal | time: 30-40 minutes
these pistachio plant chicken wings are not your average game-day wings—or really, anything-day wings. they’re crispy, craveable, and totally plant-based, but you’d never guess it from the flavor or the way they eat. the outside’s got this golden, nutty crunch thanks to a pistachio-forward coating that somehow manages to be both light and deeply savory, while the inside stays juicy and tender in that way that makes you double-check the ingredients.
and then there's the dipping sauce. creamy, zippy, and just the right amount of tang to cut through the richness—basically the kind of sauce you’ll want to dunk everything into. these wings are made for sharing, but don't be surprised if the plate mysteriously empties before anyone else gets a chance. whether you're already deep into the plant-based thing or just looking to switch it up without sacrificing flavor, this is one of those recipes that delivers big-time.
