Vegetarian Seitan "Hot Wings" Recipe

Looking for the perfect vegetarian hot wings recipe? Here's how to make vegetarian and vegan hot wings using seitan - the perfect vegetarian meat substitute for making meat-free hot wings. The only thing that could possibly make these vegan seitan wings more delicious, in my opinion, is if you're lucky enough to live in New York City and can use Mei Wah's vegan chicken drumsticks to make wings (they're seriously the best vegetarian meat substitute ever). But I digress. 

If you like hot wings or buffalo wings, try this simple homemade low-fat vegetarian and vegan hot wing version made from seitan! Vegetarian "hot wings" with seitan have all the same flavors as regular hot wings, so you really won't miss the meat. 

Most of the flavor in these vegetarian and vegan hot wings comes from the hot sauce, so be sure to use a really good quality one. I like Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce (and yes, it's completely vegan), as does just about everyone I know, but I also love experimenting with new boutique and locally or regionally produced hot sauce brands. Try a slightly sweet mango hot sauce or a hot sauce made with pineapple, or, try it out with another universally loved classic hot sauce: Sriracha sauce. No, sriracha isn't a traditional buffalo wing sauce, but who cares? Just about everybody loves sriracha sauce!
