Ingredients

Base

  • • 1 bag Street City Vegan Original Seitan Mix
  • • 1 cup water

Simmering Broth

Choose one - prepare approx. 4 cups, enough to submerge the pieces:

  • • Bulk Barn Vegetarian Chicken Broth Powder
  • • Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base
  • • President's Choice Chicken‑Free Broth

Optional Flour Coating

  • • All‑purpose flour
  • • Onion powder
  • • Cayenne pepper
  • • Chili powder

Quantities to taste

1

Make the Dough

Add 1 cup of water to 1 bag of seitan mix.

Knead in a large bowl for about 3 minutes until a stretchy dough forms.

2

Form the Wing Pieces

Break off small pieces of dough (about 1–2 tablespoons each) to form your chick'n pieces.

Don't make them too large - the pieces expand during simmering.

3

Cook the Seitan

Prepare a pot of vegan chicken‑style broth and bring it to a boil.

Add the seitan pieces. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20–30 minutes until the pieces have roughly doubled in size.

Remove from the broth and allow to cool slightly.

Pro tip: Refrigerate the cooked pieces for about 30 minutes before frying for extra firmness and crispiness!

4

Crisp the Wingz

You can deep fry or air fry the seitan pieces:

🔥 Deep Fry (Event Style - Not Breaded)

Heat oil to frying temperature and cook until the pieces float and turn golden.

This is how the wingz are served at Street City Vegan events!

💨 Air Fry

Toss pieces generously in oil. Air fry at 375°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying the other side with oil.

Optional: Breaded Wingz

  1. Whisk flour, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and chili powder in a bowl.
  2. Coat each cooked seitan piece in the flour mixture.
  3. Deep fry or air fry.

Air Fry Method:

Spray generously with oil. Air fry at 375°F for 15 minutes. Flip halfway and spray the other side.
