Spicy Buffalo Chick-Quin Wings – a vegan “wing” that is both gluten and soy free, and has great flavor! Perfect for tacos, sandwiches, or dipped in ranch…

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 buffalo chick-quin 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 spicy buffalo flatbreads, cooled down a bit with celery ranch dressing.

They are great as a warm topper to a crisp cool salad, and 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 chick-quin wings again. Buffalo flavor on the inside and out with a flavorful crispy coating, these are my new favorite thing.

    We made this this afternoon. Only change I made was subbing panko for the erewhorn as I didn’t have any corn flakes in the house. They were amazing, everyone loved them.

    These look awesome!! Have you been to a Veggie Grill?? They have the most awesome version there… give it a go and see what you think! But in the mean time, I’m thrilled to have a recipe to make at home.

    So, so creative and such great ingredients! One wouldn’t have to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy these. I do love my chickpeas! 😉

    xo,

    I’ve never been interested in faux meat…until now. I love when bloggers have such enthusiasm for their own recipes. It makes me want to try it that much more. Your enthusiasm shows, and now I want these even more.
