Recipe Request-Faux Chickn

[Guest guest]

I have found the trick to this vegan Fried Chickn is to make the seitan using

the option to boil it in seasoned broth. Start with a cold broth and after

adding the seitan, bring to a soft boil, never rolling boil. Once it is cooked

and cooled a bit or over night, it is ready for this recipe. I think this came

from vegweb.com but I have used a recipe like this for years. Don't skimp on

the mustard or the baking powder. I'm not really a fan of seitan but my dd LOVES

this recipe.

Good Luck,

Vegan Fried 'Chickn'

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

2 cups unbleached white flour

4 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (optional)

3 Tbsp. yellow mustard

1/2 cup water

2 Tbsp. baking powder

1 lb. mock chicken (try Worthington Chic-Ketts or White Wave wheat meat)

*****I make my own Seitan--but try with the Chic-Ketts

3 1/2 cups vegetable oil

 

• Mix together the salt, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, flour, and

nutritional yeast in a deep bowl.

• In a separate bowl, dilute the mustard with 1/2 cup water.

• Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and stir. Add the

baking powder to the dry flour mixture and mix.

• Dip chunks of the mock chicken into the mustard batter, then drop each chunk

into the flour mixture and coat with the desired amount of " crust. "

• Fry the chunks in hot oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet or deep fryer

until crispy and golden brown, turning as needed. -
