Vegan Fried Chicken Recipe
Hey my Sweet V's, it's The sweetest Vegan here.
Today on the show, we will be making vegan southern fried chicken.
I loved fried chicken growing up. It is like entrenched in my soul.
So today on the show we will be fixing that southern girl crave. Here we go.
We are going to start this recipe my heating canola oil over medium high heat in a large skillet
And then in a shallow bowl or pan, I am going to add all purpose flour
and some salt free seasoning blend.
I am using fat free, because it is already enough fat in vegan fried chicken, or mock chicken, from the oil
and you have enough salt in the marinated vegan chicken already
Then I am going to add nutritional yeast for some extra flavor
Then I am going to mix together my wet ingredients. I am add ing mustard to a bowl
then diluting that with water.
I am going to give that a good stir until is it all dissolved.
Then I am going to add some of that flour that we just mixed together into the wet ingredients.
This is just going to thicken it up. Have you ever made fried chicken and dredged it in egg first.
That is what this mixture in kind of like.
Then back to my flour mixture. I didn't want to add baking powder to the egg like mixture, but I am going to add it now.
For our mock vegan chicken, I am using Gardein chicken breast.
You do not have to use the Tuscan breast. It is just all my Whole Foods at the time.
It is just some marinara on the side, so you can just ignore that and save it for some pasta later.
We are just going to use the mock vegan chicken breast
We are going to dip the vegan chicken breast in the mustard egg dredging
and then dip the vegan chicken breast into the flour.
You want to make sure it is fully covered because that is where your crispy crunchy crust is going to come from
that I love so much from fried chicken
So make sure it is full covered, not too much excess, but you want to make sure it is fully coated.
And then into the fryer it goes.
This was such an exciting project for me. I honestly have not been in the south or had fried chicken
since I have been vegan, of course, because it's meat
I haven't had vegan fried chicken either, because I don't eat at that many vegan restaurants
So this was an excellent thing for me to do for myself at home.
And I was just amazed that the crust got this crispy.
That is my favorite part about fried chicken
Honestly, I don't crave that much meat anymore, so I don't eat that much tofu or faux meat
But just to have that crispy crunchy fried crust just made my dreams come true.
That's it for today guys, Bye.
