Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wings

These vegan Buffalo chicken wings are mildly spicy, gluten and soy free with great flavor! Perfect for tacos, salads, or dipped in ranch...

Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wings

The sort of obvious thing? I have never eaten buffalo wings. (I never liked chicken.)

The ironic thing? I love faux wings.

The bad thing? Most are either made with soy or vital wheat gluten.

The awesome thing? I have a vegan buffalo chicken wing that is both gluten and soy free.

I've been holding out on you - but today I am making up for it. I have made these more times than I can count, they just get more and more awesome every time, and I am finally sharing with you.

I have sandwiched them between my spinach pancakes, cooled down a bit with celery ranch dressing.

How to serve vegan wings

My favorite way to enjoy these wings is as a warm topper to a crisp cool salad, like this Vegan Buffalo Wing Salad.

I finally tried them on the grill (I used a grill pan in case they fell through or fell apart). They grill perfectly!

Even without the flatbreads, these wings are perfect dipped into that cool ranch. Perfect.

Ever since I posted the latest teaser taco with my cool coconut cabbage slaw, y'all have been asking after these vegan chicken wings again. Buffalo flavor on the inside and out with a flavorful crispy coating, these are my new favorite thing.

For you:

Perfect for a weekend BBQ.

or a Thursday.
