The Best Vegan Fried Chik'n Ever

By Admin

If you could create a plant-based substitute using many of the same techniques in southern cooking without compromise texture or flavor, why would you ever look back? The veganized frying technique I learned as a teenager cooking in the back of a famous Drive-In.

Ingredients: 
Step 1:
Wet-
  • 1.5 Cups Vegetable Broth (I used Imagine Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth)
  • 1/2 Cup Mashed Chickpeas
  • 1/2 Cup Chickpea Soaking Liquid 
  • 1 Tablespoon Chickpea Miso 
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Dry-
  • 1.75 Cups Vital Wheat Gluten
  • 1/4 Cup Sweet Sorghum Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Potato Starch 
  • 2 Tablespoons Simpy Organic All Purpose Seasoning
  • 2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 2 Quarts Vegetable Broth For Boiling

Step 2:
  • 2 Cups Nondairy Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Your Favorite Hot Sauce
  • 1.5 Cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Cornstarch 
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning 
  • 2 Quarts Vegetable Oil For Frying (I used Canola Oil)


Directions:

1. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix your vital wheat gluten, sorghum flour, potato starch, nutritional yeast, all-purpose seasoning, & sea salt.
