There has been lots of talk at my place about vegan barbecues and the "politics" around being so exclusionary, but we're going ahead with it anyway. This is a recipe that was suggested to me from goveg.com:

Flaming ‘Buffalo Wings’

These extra spicy “wings” will be a hit at potlucks and football parties or on poker night.

    1/4 cup vegan margarine
    1/4-1/2 cup hot sauce (try Texas Pete brand)
    Tabasco sauce, to taste
    Pepper, to taste
    Garlic powder, to taste
    1/2 cup flour
    1/2 tsp. paprika
    1/4 tsp. cayenne
    1/4 tsp. salt
    Vegetable oil sufficient for frying
    1 pkg. Chickette or 2 pkgs. seitan

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the margarine, hot sauces, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring often, until the margarine is melted. Lower the heat and keep warm while preparing the “wings.”
• Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. • In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat enough oil to fry the “wings.”
• Tear the Chickette or seitan into “wing”-size pieces. Dredge in the flour mixture. Fry until browned, flipping halfway through. Drain on paper towels.
• Toss with the prepared sauce. Serve with celery and carrots sticks and vegan ranch dressing.

Makes 4 servings

Note: If you have leftovers, serve them wrapped in a tortilla with vegan ranch dressing, chopped celery, shredded carrots, and lettuce for a quick lunch.
