Plant-based chicken substitute 2 cups (240g)

Soy sauce 1/4 cup (60ml)
Tomato paste 2 tablespoons
Apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
Smoked paprika 1 teaspoon (plus more for garnish)

Take note
Be careful not to overcook the BBQ wings, as they can become dry and tough. Also, make sure to use a heat-resistant cooking surface or grill, as the BBQ sauce may caramelize and stick.

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (60ml) of maple syrup, 1/4 cup (60ml) of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

3

Coat and bake

Toss 2 cups (240g) of plant-based chicken substitute (such as seitan or tofu) in the sauce until well-coated. Place the coated 'wings' on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and slightly browned.

4

Brush with more sauce

Remove the 'wings' from the oven and brush them with additional sauce. If desired, sprinkle with a little bit of smoked paprika for extra flavor.

5

Broil for a final touch

Set your oven to broil and return the 'wings' to the oven for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to caramelize and slightly char. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

6

Serve and enjoy

Transfer the vegan BBQ wings to a plate, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions if desired, and serve with your favorite vegan ranch or dipping sauce. Get ready to feast!
