The Best Vegan Fried Chik'n Ever

Friday, February 8, 2019 Edit

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.
