Seitan Fried Chicken Tenders Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This vegan "Chicken" Dish is deep-fried, so it isn't particularly healthy, though it is cholesterol-free and also very tasty. Deep-fried seitan and a blend of spices create a dish that's surprisingly similar in appearance and taste to fried chicken. The dish comes together quickly, with no marinating time necessary. Purchasing prepared seitan will omit any time needed to create the protein out of vital wheat gluten and spices. Seitan is available in chunks, cubes, slices, and steaks. For this recipe, you can purchase the chunks for nugget sized pieces of fried "Chicken, " Or cut the steaks vertically so that they are shaped like long chicken tenders. For best results with the coating, use a vegan egg product like just eggs or follow your heart that duplicates the full volume of eggs.
