Vegan Chicken Nuggets Recipe
This is the best vegan chicken I have tried so far! Approved by both vegan and non vegan friends and fam, they all love it! Super yummy, healthy...ish and faster to make than many vegan chicken recipes I have seen.
It’s perfect for a special occasion, and fun to make with children. We’ve even made it for Thanksgiving dinner a few times and it’s always a success!
The Best Vegan Chicken Recipe
While this recipe does require a bunch of ingredients to reach that amazing vegan chicken flavor and texture you want, it’s a pretty straight forward process once you have gathered all ingredients. I love it because it’s:
Healthier than most vegan chicken recipes I’ve seen.
Yummy AF!! For real, flavor is amazing.
Ok to freeze and defrost, so you can cook a ton for multiple occasions!
100% like chicken… ok ok, maybe not, but it’s close!
Ingredients
Vital wheat gluten
Chickpea flour
Almond flour
Tofu
Poultry seasoning
Garlic
Onion powder
Nutritional yeast
Olive oil
Breadcrumbs
Almond milk
Apple cider vinegar
Vital wheat flour: I get a big bag non-GMO vital wheat gluten online via Amazon, I can’t find a non-GMO in the Chicago grocery stores.
Poultry seasoning: Every chicken/poultry seasoning is different. The brand I used for this recipe is called “Magic seasoning blends, poultry magic” and it has salt, however, other brands I have tried come without salt. Pay attention to that, taste it and then decide if you need more or less seasoning or salt.
How to Make Vegan Chicken Nuggets?
You need a food processor, a mixing bowl, a large pot and three small containers for the coating.
Throw the tofu in the food processor to make a paste with it.
Mix everything in a bowl and start shaping the nuggets.
Sauté them for a few minutes.
Coat them and then saute them again.
You can store them in the fridge for 5-6 days, or freeze the leftovers!
