Hot wings are an iconic dish to serve at cookouts, sporting events, or even family nights. If you’ve ever attended a tailgate party and felt left out while the rest of your non-vegan friends indulged in a big platter of hot wings, this is the recipe for you. These seitan wings couldn’t be easier to whip up, and they are completely meat free. I’ve served these at many barbecues and while I can’t say these vegan wings taste exactly like the “real thing”, they are always a huge hit. They even look like traditional buffalo wings!

The base for these vegan buffalo wings is seitan, which is a fantastic source of plant-based protein. In fact, just a 3-ounce portion of seitan contains 21 grams of protein! And it’s low in carbohydrates and fat, making this a great choice for high protein diets as well.

What is seitan?

Seitan is made from [eafl id=1917 name=”Vital Wheat Gluten – Amazon” text=”vital wheat gluten”], and when mixed with water and spiced, it cooks into a fantastic meat substitute. It’s quite substantial – these wings will leave you feeling full. And it’s simple enough to make from scratch at [eafl id=1917 name=”Vital Wheat Gluten – Amazon” text=”vital wheat gluten”] home. If you’ve never tried seitan, these wings are a great excuse to finally give it a try.

Making Seitan Wings

These seitan wings are super spicy – so make sure you can take the heat! I love spice, and have enjoyed these made with Sriracha sauce. But that would be too hot for many of my friends! Turn down the heat by choosing a milder hot sauce. Just be sure to check the ingredients to ensure the hot sauce you choose is vegan. You can also reduce the quantity of hot sauce for milder wings.
