Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dough: In a large bowl, stir together all dough ingredients until a ball forms. Transfer to a clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is elastic and cohesive (it will still be lumpy, but that's okay!)
  2. Shape: Portion dough into about 20 pieces, then roughly form into nugget shapes (they will expand when cooking, so make them smaller than you think you'll want them!). Let hot wings rest while you prepare the broth.
  3. Broth: Add all broth ingredients to a large pot and bring to a simmer. Gently lower the seitan wings into the broth, ensuring the dough is covered by the broth (if not, transfer to a smaller pot). Partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Wing Sauce: Meanwhile, pick your wing sauce and whisk together all the ingredients for your chosen sauce on the stove until warm and cohesive.
  5. Saute: Remove from pot and let cool enough to touch. Grease a large saute pan over medium heat, then add the hot wings. Cook, flipping once while cooking, until wings are golden brown on all sides.
  6. Serve: Toss wings in your wing sauce and serve warm.
