Chickpea Wingz

Behold: the happy union of chickpea cutlets and tempeh wingz (scroll down for recipe).
Chaz loved the wingz part of the latter, but found out he isn’t so keen on tempeh after all. (Update: he loves tempeh now.)

I think I whipped up the whole thing in barely an hour (I had to work in 2 batches each time, because I used the counter top oven), so it’s not killer in the way of prep either.

Simply make a recipe of cutlets, but separate it in walnut-sized nuggets: I got 14 out of it. Flatten them on your baking sheet, and bake (at 375°F) for 10-15 minutes on one side, 5 on the other.

While they’re busy baking, whip up all the ingredients for the wingz, as well as the sauce.
Follow the instructions and assemble them, once they’re cool enough to handle, then bake for 7 minutes on one side, 3 on the other. Dip in sauce, and serve hot.

    Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more! Mais, d’abord, j’adore la photo là haut…tu es tellement classe. Tu sais que je vais les faire…et que c’est du génie pur! Tellement moins cher que du tempeh et plus pratique!

    Can you believe I just found this bookmarked in my “must try now” bookmarked recipes! This was when I was in the States with my family last summer, that’s why I forgot about them! Ha!

    tu rigoles? t’es super douee! t’as rien besoin d’absorber du tout. par contre, si tu me donnes de tes talents de couturiere et de great personality, je suis preneuse.

    I made these tonight for dinner to make BBQ wingz (with Annie’s new Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce) and put on a huge dinner sized salad. However, I didn’t have your instructions in front of me and forgot to bake the nuggets before I breaded them. They cooked up just fine with 15 minutes on the first side and about 25 minutes on the second, however; and made a very satisfing dinner.

    Unfortunately, I also made most of them to big, so they went into the fridge and will become BBQ sliders next week, using potato rolls. They will make for great lunches with fourth of July leftovers.
