Seitan Wings
These seitan wings are my go-to when I crave something spicy and comforting. I love whipping them up on game nights and watching everyone's eyes light up with the first bite.
I first made these seitan wings one rainy afternoon when I was yearning for something to lift my spirits.
The magic happened when I realized that letting them marinate overnight made the flavors pop even more.
It's a recipe I cherish because it brings a bit of warmth and joy to any gathering, whether it’s just a Tuesday or a special occasion.
And the best part?
You can totally play with the flavors to match your mood.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Vital wheat gluten is the heart of this recipe, giving seitan its unique chewy texture. If gluten's not your thing, I've had success using soy curls or even jackfruit for a different kind of 'wing' altogether.
Tips & Notes
- •For extra flavor, I like to marinate the wings in the sauce overnight in the fridge.
- •Sometimes, I finish them off in the air fryer for an extra crispy texture.
- •I keep cooked wings in a covered dish in the fridge, and they taste even better the next day.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll add a dash of smoked paprika to the mix.
- •My friend Jenna swears by tossing them with a dash of maple syrup for a sweet and spicy twist.
Storage & Freezing
Store leftover seitan wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
