Vegan Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu pressed and cut into 6 cutlets
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper Use less for less spicy.
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper You can use more, if you want a spicier sandwich. Use less for less spicy.
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk mixed with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- spray oil
For the Sandwich
- 3 vegan buns toasted. I used potato rolls, because we love potato rolls.
- 3 teaspoons vegan butter
- pickle chips Use as many as you want!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F, and press and slice your tofu, if you haven't already.
- Whisk together the panko, cornstarch, salt, and spices in a shallow bowl. Pour the soy milk mixture into another shallow bowl. Dredge the tofu in the soy milk mixture and then coat in the panko mixture, patting the panko onto the tofu to help it adhere.
- Oven Directions: Transfer the tofu to your baking sheet in a single layer, and spray with oil. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the panko is turning golden brown.
- Air Fryer Directions: Spray the coated tofu with oil. Arrange the tofu in a single layer in you air fryer basket. Air fry at 400° F for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown, shaking the basket gently after 8 minutes of cooking, just to prevent sticking.
- Spread the vegan butter onto the toasted buns, then add 2 pieces of spicy tofu to each bun. Top with as many pickle chips as you like, and serve!
Notes
Store leftover patties on their own, and reheat in an oven or in the air fryer. I do not recommend microwaving leftover patties, because they won't be crispy.
