I recently went vegetarian, and am going vegan and was wondering if there is a way to re-create buffalo wings in a vegan lifestyle, because I used to love the real thing. Any sites/recipes are appreciated.

It is certainly possible to do! At least two restaurants I have been to - Kate's Joint in NYC and Christopher's in Cambridge/Boston serve excellent vegetarian buffalo wings.
You could substitute tofu or store-bought vegan wings in any buffalo wings recipe. It is the sauce that counts! If you use tofu, you might want to play with it a bit to give it the right texture. Try freezing and then thawing extra-firm tofu, and/or frying it first. Both restaurant versions are fried, which means it isn't quite healthy, but it is still vegan!
I've included a link to a high-rated recipe; you would also have to substitute margarine for butter.
Best of luck!

The brand Morningstar has a mock buffalo wing. It’s a vegan pattie shaped like a chicken nugget that’s a little spicy. It’s okay. If you use a different sauce, they are a whole lot better. They definitely don’t taste vegan. Morningstar is in the freezer aisle, probably close to the breakfast foods.

Morningstar buffalo wings are not vegan...dont even buy morningstar..they are very vegan unfriendly, and love putting eggs in everything..even where eggs dont belong..boca has vegan chicken patties -you can make your own sauce-all you need is hot sauce of your choice and vegan butter, melt and mix simple as that. we make them all the time and love them..just be sure to find the VEGAN version, as they make vegetarian version as well..you could also use tofu and panko for the breading and fry or bake..and again add easy to make sauce :)

you could just buy buffalo sauce and put them on all kinds of good stuff, like fake chicken nuggets or tofu...

Try deep-fried Tofu;-{ but you're only fooling yourself.
