Vegetarian Chicken Sandwich Spread Recipes

THE ULTIMATE VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a medium to large heavy bottom pot, heat up frying oil to a temperature between 325°F to 350°F.
• Gently press two vegan chicken scallopini cutlets together to double up the thickness and set aside.
• Prepare your dredging stations. To make the liquid batter, combine nondairy milk with apple cider vinegar and hot sauce in a large bowl. Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of the milk mixture to make a slurry and then add it to the bowl.
• In another bowl, combine the flour with the sea salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground white pepper, ground sage, coriander, paprika, celery salt, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground cumin and ground allspice.
• When the oil reaches 350°F, dunk the vegan chicken into the liquid batter first, letting the excess drip off. Then place it in the dry batter to coat evenly. Place the vegan chicken back into the liquid batter and then back into the flour mixture to double dredge.
• Fry the chicken separately in 2 batches. Carefully place 1 battered vegan chicken into the hot oil, using a splatter guard if desired. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove from the hot oil with tongs and place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the second piece of battered chicken.
• To assemble your sandwich, on the bottom of the sesame seed bun, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise, add 1/4 cup of lettuce, the vegan chicken, half the pickle slices and the top bun.

ULTIMATE CRISPY "CHICKEN" SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans and their liquid, the tofu, olive oil, worcestershire sauce, dissolved bouillon, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1½ teaspoons salt. Blend on high speed until smooth and homogenous.
• Add the vital wheat gluten in batches, blending between additions and scraping down the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate. The mixture should start coming together into a dough.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until elastic and smooth. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly sprinkle each piece with flour and roll out to flatten. Using your hands, shape each portion to resemble a chicken breast.
• Wrap each piece of "chicken" in parchment paper and transfer to a steamer pot. Steam for 80 minutes, flipping halfway through. The steaming process is important to ensure the vital wheat gluten is fully cooked.
• Towards the end of the steaming, prepare the brine: In a large, shallow dish, whisk together the oat milk, pickle juice, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon salt.
• Remove the "chicken" from the steamer and discard the parchment paper. Transfer the warm "chicken" to the brine to marinate for 1-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the quick slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Toss to combine well and set aside.
• Make the vegan aioli: In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, hot sauce, and salt. Mix well to combine.
• Fill a large pot with the canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
• While the oil heats, bread the "chicken": In a wide, shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons garlic powder, remaining tablespoon onion powder, the paprika, cayenne, remaining tablespoon salt, and pepper. Mix together with a fork.
• Remove the "chicken"from the brine. Lightly coat in the flour mixture, then set aside.
• Add about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the brining liquid to the flour and mix with a fork to create some clumps, which will fry up to be crispy bits. Dip each floured "chicken" breast in the brine, making sure there are no dry spots. Coat each piece again in the clumpy flour mixture.
• Working 2 at a time, fry the "chicken" for 3-4 minutes, until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer the "chicken" to a wire rack and season lightly with salt. Bring the oil temperature back to 350°F (180°C) between batches.
• To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of aioli across the bottom of each toasted brioche bun. Top with pickles, a piece chicken, a dash of hot sauce, and about ½ cup (50g) slaw. Top with the top bun.
• Enjoy!
