• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will help the chickpeas crisp up nicely with the buffalo sauce.
• Drain and rinse 2 cans of chickpeas, then transfer them to a flat towel or paper towels to dry. Gently pat them dry—this step is key for crispy chickpeas!

Make the Buffalo Sauce

• In a medium bowl, mix ½ cup Frank's RedHot, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Add the chickpeas to the bowl and toss them until they’re fully coated.

• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the coated chickpeas in a single layer. Keep them close together, but not piled on top of one another. Sprinkle 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs evenly on top. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
