Buffalo Seitan Wings

Because a plant-based diet is inherently lower in fat and protein than an omnivorous diet, I have to make more of an effort to balance out my carbohydrate intake. My body usually takes care of this for me in the form of incredibly intense cravings for specific fat- or protein-rich dishes. For the past few months, my craving of choice has been City O' City's Buffalo Seitan Wings. But because City O' City is in Denver, and a 45-minute drive for some wings is a bit unreasonable, I decided to try making them at home. I haven't been able to replicate COC's version exactly, but they still taste pretty darn good and are a rich source of protein.

Buffalo Seitan Wings
1 package seitan strips, wing sauce (make sure it doesn't have real butter), vegetable oil, celery or lettuce for serving

Heat oil in a deep pan, fry strips until brown, drain. Heat sauce under low-medium heat (don't let it boil). Dip seitan strips in sauce and toss for a minute. Remove and serve with lettuce or celery.

City O' City serves these with a vegan blue cheese dressing. Don't know how to tackle that one...
