Ingredients

• 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.75 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable broth and soy sauce together.

Step 3

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir well until a dough forms and then knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into 'wing' shapes.

Step 5

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the wings, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let the wings cool.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili powder, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 7

Place the cooled wings in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wing with a generous amount of barbecue sauce.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the wings, brush again with barbecue sauce, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they're golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
