Recipe 15: Vegan Fried "Chicken"

My boyfriend is a huge fan of comfort food! Fried chicken cutlets and fried rice is one of his favorite meals that his Mom made for him growing up. This was my trial run to make sure this fried chicken was up to par. I found the recipe from Pinterest done by The Sweetest Vegan. I adapted the recipe a little bit using what I had on hand. It turned out well, but lacked seasoning. I think next time I'll try some Lawry's seasoning salt, Louisiana chicken wing seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder to season the batter. Check back to see an update on the fried chicken!

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Method:

Heat canola oil over medium - high heat in a large pot or deep fryer.

Whisk your seasonings, all purpose flour, and nutritional yeast in a shallow bowl.

Mix together mustard and water in a separate bowl. Stir 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard.

Whisk baking powder into the remaining flour mixture.

Dredge, dip and coat, the chicken breast into the mustard and then the flour, one at a time.

Fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown.

Serve with some maple syrup, ketchup, hot sauce, or BBQ sauce! Yummy!!!
