Now it's easier than ever for vegetarians to enjoy wing night with the family thanks to the release of [Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impossible-chicken-nuggets) new [Chick’n Vings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinny-butcher).

Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express recently decided to put a twist on their famous chicken wings by making a vegetarian-friendly version. The new Chick’n Vings, as they've been dubbed are made with [Quorn Vegetarian Meatless Wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quorn-salt-pepper-tenders). The idea is that the "wings" are means to deliver the same taste, appearance, and texture as traditional chicken wings – but without the meat of course. Naturally, the new Chick’n Vings are also served with a side of carrots and celery, and can be enjoyed tossed in any one of the chain’s 13 house-made sauces, including Coconut Jerk, Honey Garlic, and Carolina Fire BBQ.
