Flour and Water Vegan Chicken
Adapted Recipe From TikTok
Notes
The flour to water ratio is 2:1, so you can easily scale this recipe depending on how much "chicken" you want to make.
Ingredients
- For the "chicken:"
6 cups all-purpose or bread flour
3 cups water
- Seasonings:
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 celery seed
4 cups (1 quart) vegetable stock
- For frying:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 cup all purpose or bread flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
- For assembly:
4 brioche buns
Coleslaw-style shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon sriracha
3 tablespoons vegenaise
Directions
- Combine water and flour and knead into a cohesive ball of dough.
- Let rest covered for one hour.
- Knead dough again, this time under water.
- Continue to rinse and knead until water runs clearish, but not clear.
- Incorporate seasoning mixture into dough. This recipe uses garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, celery seed, salt, and pepper, but you can use any combination of spices you want, such as Trader Joe's Vegan Chicken-less Seasoning Salt [1] or KFC-style 11 herbs and spices.
- Let dough rest for two hours.
- Pull and knot dough to create meaty fibers. The more you stretch the dough, the more chicken-like the resulting texture will be.
- Form into patties, then boil submerged in a small, covered pot of vegetable stock for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle on more spices, then coat in the almond milk and flour batter before dredging in dry flour.
- Fry until supercrispy and golden brown.
- Place on a brioche bun topped with lettuce and sriracha mayo.
