Spicy "Buffalo" Wings with Veggie Sticks & Blue Cheese Dressing

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to simplify cleanup.
2. Pat the wings dry, place them on the sheet, and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
3. Bake the wings, turning once, until cooked through, about 20–25 minutes. Remove from the oven.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the crumbled blue cheese, avocado oil mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth; set the dip aside.
5. While the wings cook, wash and dry the produce.
6. Trim and quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 3-inch pieces and arrange on a plate.
7. Peel and cut the carrot into 3-inch sticks, then add to the plate with the cucumber. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and add them to the plate as well.
8. In a small saucepan, combine avocado oil (or the oil used for the wings), chili-garlic sauce, and white wine vinegar. Whisk and bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and keep warm.
