– 6-8 pieces chicken seitan about the size of a chicken tenderloin – 1½ cups non-dairy milk of your choice we use full-fat oat milk in this recipe – 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar – 1½ cups all-purpose flour – 1 tablespoon paprika – ½ tablespoon garlic powder – ½ tablespoon onion powder – ½ teaspoon ground ginger – 1 teaspoon salt – 1 teaspoon black pepper – 1 cup rice cereal crushed – 4 cups vegetable oil for frying

STEP 1

In a shallow dish, combine milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to create buttermilk.

In another shallow dish, whisk together flour and spices. Set up breading station.

Dip seitan into buttermilk, then into flour mixture, coating well. Place on plate and repeat for all seitan pieces.

STEP 4

Add crushed rice cereal to flour mixture and stir well.

STEP 5

Dip seitan in buttermilk again, then into flour/cereal mixture.

STEP 6

Heat oil in shallow frying pan to 375°F/190°C (or 350°F/175°C if frying too fast).

STEP 7

Fry half of seitan pieces for 4-5 minutes per side, avoiding overcrowding. Place on paper towel-lined plate. Add salt if needed.

Tips for Making  Vegan Fried Chicken:

Make sure your chicken seitan is well-coated in the flour mixture. You want a thick layer of flour so that it gets nice and crispy when fried.
