Vegan Chicken Wings Available at Ralphs, Aldi, Whole Foods, and More

Plainly put, chickens need their wings—humans don’t. This is why vegan chicken wings should be the only kind of “wings” enjoyed by humans. Thankfully, a few of our favorite vegan freezer-aisle brands offer quick and easy options for animal-free wings at home. So the next time you’re at Kroger, Aldi, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, or any other grocery store, keep your eyes peeled for these:

Like Chick’n Wings have a meaty texture with a crispy coating, and they’re even shaped like drumsticks. They’re popular with celebrities, too.

None of the sauces are currently vegan, but the chicken-free wings are delish on their own, or you can add your own sauce at home. Like Chick’n Wings can also be found at Walmart, Target, Sprouts, and Sam’s Club stores nationwide.
