Ingredients

• 250g seitan (store-bought or homemade, cut into wing-sized pieces)
• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Cooking oil spray (for crisping)
• For the sauce:
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Wire rack (to place on baking sheet)
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs or fork (for dipping and turning wings)
• Oven
• Small saucepan (for sauce)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. This helps the wings crisp evenly.
2. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will act as your vegan “buttermilk” to tenderize and flavor the wings.
3. Marinate the seitan: Add the seitan pieces to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
4. Mix the dry coating: In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. This mixture helps create a crispy crust.
5. Coat the wings: Remove the seitan from the marinade one piece at a time and dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the coated wings on a separate plate.
6. Arrange wings on the wire rack: Place the coated seitan wings evenly spaced on the rack. Lightly spray them with cooking oil to encourage crisping.
7. Bake for 20 minutes: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each wing, spray again with oil, and continue baking for another 10 minutes. You want a golden-brown, crispy texture.
8. Prepare the sauce: While the wings bake, combine the hot sauce, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring until well mixed.
9. Toss wings in sauce: Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over them and toss gently until each wing is evenly coated.
10. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces and sides!

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, you can double-coat the wings by dipping them back into the marinade and then the flour mixture again before baking.

Feel free to experiment with different sauces:

• BBQ Sauce: Swap the hot sauce for your favorite vegan BBQ sauce for a smoky, sweet twist.
• Sweet Chili: Use a sweet chili sauce mixed with lime juice and fresh herbs for an Asian-inspired flavor.
• Buffalo Ranch: Combine buffalo sauce with vegan ranch dressing for a creamy heat.

If you prefer a different base than seitan, firm tofu or even cauliflower florets work wonderfully with this recipe.
