If you’re searching for a vegan version of fried chicken sandwiches, look no further! This delicious recipe utilizes tender homemade seitan coated with an irresistibly flavorful batter for an irresistibly crisp-on-the-outside and juicy-on-the-inside sandwich that even meat eaters love to rave about!
To make a sandwich, simply dip seitan in batter and then back into flour mixture (this ensures an optimal crunchiness) before frying until golden brown!
Breading
For delicious vegan fried chicken sandwiches that match those found at fast food joints, breading should be your starting point. This process is fairly simple and works best on foods without too much moisture content.
At first, cover your food in flour to absorb any excess moisture and allow the egg (or whatever batter ingredient you’re using) to adhere better. Furthermore, flour contains hydrated starches which “glue” breadcrumbs onto food surfaces.
Once we’ve created our breading, the next step is dredging. Here, we are using a mix of flour and corn starch (you could also try arrowroot starch if gluten allergies are an issue), along with spices and salt for maximum crunchiness! When double-dredging for maximum results. Once baked, top it off with whatever toppings you desire–we love adding some zesty sauce as well as melting cheese on top for optimal results!
Seasoning
This vegan fried chicken sandwich uses vital wheat gluten cooked in vegan chicken broth before being coated in a spicy batter and deep-fried to create its crispy and meaty patty. Be warned; your friends will want a taste!
Before beginning, mix together the dry ingredients – vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast and chickpea flour – then slowly drizzle in vegetable or vegan chicken broth until a dough forms that looks similar to rubber. Knead lightly for one minute for best results when making vegan fried chicken!
