Vegan Fried Chicken (The Buddhist Chef)


(The Buddhist Chef) Sept. 17, 2020. This is THE BEST vegan fried chicken recipe, extra crispy on the outside, juicy and mushroom-meaty on the inside. It's simple and delicious and harmless to the animal world.

Vegan fried chick'n
  • 275 g tree oyster mushrooms
  • olive, coconut, or other vegetable oil for frying
  • WET batter: 1 cup of gluten-free flour (115 g)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 cup of almond milk (250 ml)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • DRY batter: 1 cup of gluten-free flour (115 g)
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground sage
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Pepper to taste
In a deep fryer or in a pot on the stovetop, preheat the oil to 350˚F. First, make the wet batter by adding gluten-free flour, seasonings, and water to a bowl, and mix well until completely combined.

Next, in a separate bowl, make the dry batter by adding more gluten-free flour and seasonings to a bowl, and mix well until seasonings are fully incorporated into the flour.

Dip mushrooms in wet batter then coat them in dry batter. Immediately add them to a hot oiled pan or deep fryer, making sure not to over crowd them. Fry for 3 minutes.

Thousand Islands Sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce or ketchup
  • 2 tbsp sweet relish
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • In a bowl, mix all ingredients
Tofu works, too
