And for those who do eat meat, the chain is also serving up new Crunchy Boneless Wings. Pizza Hut's new plant-based Vegan Wings look just like battered chicken wings, but without the meat. Instead of chicken, the plant-based wings are made with a wheat protein with a meat-like texture and crunchy exterior. As for the new Crunchy Boneless Wings, this dish is made with chicken breast meat and fried in a unique breadcrumb-like crunchy coating. Both of the new wing options can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces, many of which are also vegan-friendly.
