Seitan Popcorn Chicken
Deliciously crispy vegan popcorn chicken
Ingredients
- 1 Loaf Seitan chicken I used this recipe https://nashirasnibbles.com/seitan-chicken-a-family-staple-for-every-meal/
- 250 ml Olive Oil (Or oil of choice) approx
Batter
- 180 ml Plant based milk
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Galic Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Dry Mix
- 40 g Plain Flour
- 20 g Panko Bread Crumbs
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix all of the batter ingredients together. I used a whisk to ensure a smooth consistency
- Cube the chicken loaf into bite size pieces
- Add the chicken into the batter and coat throughly. Allow to marinade for 15 minutes
- In a seperate bowl mix the dry ingredients
- Heat a large frying pan with enough oil to cover about halfway up your chicken pieces. For me this was about 250ml of oil.
- Once the oil has started to heat up, one by one take a piece of chicken, coat it in the dry mix and carefully put it into the oil
- The oil should be hot enough that the chicken starts to cook straight away, but not smoking
- Add all of the chicken pieces into the oil. If your pan isn't large enough, do it in several batches
- Cook the chicken for about 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. You won't need longer than 10 minutes, it'll burn. Make sure you stir the popcorn chicken so that they don't stick
- Once the popcorn chicken has cooked, put them on some kitchen paper to remove excess oil and serve!
