Instructions

Add 2 cups vital wheat gluten, ¼ cup nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to large mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until thoroughly blended.
Slowly add 2 cups vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons olive oil, stirring constantly until all ingredients are fully combined into dough-like mixture. Continue mixing until dough is hard to stir.
Transfer dough to flat work surface. Knead dough and shape into ball.
Place large pot on stovetop over high heat. Add remaining 5 cups vegetable broth to a large pot and bring to rolling boil.
Once vegetable broth begins to boil, tear dough ball into small pieces. Drop pieces of seitan into boiling broth and boil seitan 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove seitan from pot with slotted spoon and transfer seitan to wire cooling rack. Let seitan cool completely.
Once seitan has cooled, preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
Transfer cooled seitan to large baking sheet. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil evenly over seitan, then toss seitan until all pieces are fully coated in oil.
Arrange seitan in single, even layer, making sure pieces do not touch or overlap. Place baking sheet in preheated oven.
Bake seitan 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven and flip seitan pieces over.
Return baking sheet to oven and bake seitan 25 minutes more or until seitan pieces are browned and firm.
While seitan bakes, add ½ cup Frank's red hot sauce, ¼ cup vegan butter, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder to large mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until fully incorporated.
When wings are browned and firm, remove baking sheet from oven.
Working in batches, add baked seitan to bowl of buffalo sauce. Toss wings in sauce until fully coated, then transfer to large plate and set aside. Repeat until all wings have been coated in sauce.
Serve wings immediately with preferred dipping sauces.

Recipe Notes

Sauce: If you don't love buffalo sauce, try tossing these in BBQ sauce or make an Asian-inspired sriracha sauce!
Cook Time: Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your seitan wings. Keep an eye on them in the oven and take them out when they are firm and golden-brown.
Storage: Seitan wings are best enjoyed on the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave but add a little extra sauce so they don't get dry!
