Buttermilk Fried Chicken Using Seitan Recipe

This recipe will work on anything that you can dredge, batter, and fry!

I chose Seitan because in my opinion it’s the closest to chicken texture, and I created vegan popcorn chicken. I could’ve kept my Seitan cutlet whole instead of dicing it to make a chicken sandwich or crispy chicken parmesan. I could’ve used chickpeas to make nuggets or vegan drum sticks and used this recipe for the batter. What I’m trying to say is, this recipe can help you make a variety of dishes.

The buttermilk in this recipe is made by mixing plant based milk with vinegar, in this case I chose apple cider vinegar but you can use white vinegar too. We’re using buttermilk in this recipe because it adheres best to our vegan protein, kinda in the similar manner egg does in the original dredging process, resulting in an evenly battered, crispy “chicken”.

I fry using vegetable oil, but feel free to use any oil you typically fry with. I have not tried this recipe baked but now that I’m thinking of it it sounds very interesting!🤔 Check back for an update…
