Ingredients.
For the Chick’n Patty:
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, soy sauce or tamari, olive oil, and liquid smoke (if using).
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir to combine until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into patties of your desired size and shape.
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chick’n patty in the breading mixture, ensuring an even coating.
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chick’n patties until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Toast the burger buns. Spread vegan mayonnaise on both sides of the buns. Place a chick’n patty on the bottom bun and top with hot sauce (if desired), lettuce, and pickles. Complete the sandwich with the top bun.
Serve the Vegan Spicy Chick’n Sandwich warm and enjoy the satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
