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.

    I’ve made this twice already and love it so much. So simple and delicious. Having spaghetti tonight and wanted to make some sort of ‘meat’ball and didn’t like the recipes I found. Remembered this and made it while substituting the buffalo sauce for some tomato sauce and added some Italian herbs. Currently in the oven waiting to be devoured!!
