In this recipe the building blocks of Buffalo wings—saucy chicken, cheesy dip, and a crunchy vegetable component—get turned ever so slightly on their heads. Don’t worry, you still get the full messy, creamy, pickley eat-with-your-hands experience. While the chicken wings marinate in a spiced tomato paste mixture, you’ll quickly pickle a fresh trifecta of carrot, celery, and cauliflower to make an easy giardiniera. Whipped feta provides a salty base for dragging both the chicken and vegetables through, and hot honey adds just a touch of sweetness.
