Seitan Fried Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

• Blackbird Original Seitan

• Wet Batter

  • 1 TSP of Onion Power

  • 1 TSP of Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 Cup all purpose Flour

  • 1/2 Cup Corn Starch

  • 3/4 Water

• Dry Batter

  • 1 TSP of Onion Power

  • 1 TSP of Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 Cup all purpose Flour

  • 1/2 Cup Corn Starch

• 1.5 quarts of Vegetable Oil (for frying)

• Slider/Hamburger Bun

• Tomatoes

• Lettuce

• Ranch

Directions

1. Portion the Original Blackbird Seitan into 3 portions (keep the chunks intact!)

2. Assemble Dry Batter ingredients in bowl: onion powder, garlic powder, flour, cornstarch

   1. If batter seems too thick, add cold water, one table spoon at a time until the batter becomes the consistency of pancake batter.

3. Assemble Wet Batter ingredients in bowl: onion powder, garlic powder, flour, cornstarch

4. Heat oil in skillet (dutch oven or cast iron preferred) until oil reaches 350°F (176°C).

5. Place Original Blackbird Seitan pieces in the batter and turn to coat. Remove the chicken from the batter, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.

6. Fry the seitan and keep your attention on the oil temperature, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain the oil between 300°F and 325°F (149°C and 163°C).

7. Place seitan on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

8. Spread the Blackbird Seitan evenly over the rolls, followed by the ranch and vegetables. Top with the remaining rolls.
