There’s nothing like sitting down to watch a game or hanging out and having beers with your friends with a big ol’ plate of chicken wings! Uhhhh, unless you’re a vegetarian, of course. Then it can sometimes be a little alienating. Whelp, we solved that problem! I’m telling you this simple, 30-minute recipe for vegetarian buffalo wings is all you’ll need to remember to whip up for the next big game.
Okay, so the Gardein Seven Grain Crispy Tenders are pretty delicious just on their own, but not when your body is craving buffalo wings and ranch. This recipe makes it super easy to get that mouth-watering buffalo wing taste out of the Gardein Tenders you probably already have hanging out in your freezer. We prefer this brand at home because it’s egg-less, but because of how easy this recipe is, you can use almost any faux chicken tender favorite. There are definitely some brands where the breading doesn’t stick on as well after cooking, so try to use a brand you know works well with seasoning and marinades!
Come on, don’t they look amazing? My mouth is watering just thinking about them. It’s the easiest way to create vegetarian buffalo “chicken” wings at home quickly. They’ll keep your vegetarians happy! Just remember to watch out for those carnivores. They’ll have a hard time keeping their hands on their own wings after these come out.
Now, when it comes to ranch dressing, that can be a tricky situation depending on the types vegetarians in your household. I love using Hampton Creek’s Just Ranch. The Carrot loves it and I can barely tell the difference in flavor. We go through this stuff so fast at our house.
In our house, we love trying new vegetarian brands and making them our own. There’s no reason you can’t add your own spin to pre-made foods!
