Vegan Chick-fil-A Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 4 vegan chicken cutlets (try Gardein Chick’n Scallopini)
• 3/4 cup plain, unsweetened soy milk
• 1/4 cup pickle juice
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
• 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
• 3 cups peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 4 buns
• 16 dill pickle chips

Instructions

• Defrost or thaw the chicken cutlets if frozen.
• Combine the soy milk and the pickle juice in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, dry mustard, and powdered sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
• Warm the peanut oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
• Dip a “chicken” cutlet into the wet mixture, coating evenly on all sides. Toss into the flour mixture and coat generously. Repeat with the remaining cutlets and set aside.
• Place one cutlet in the frying pan using a pair of tongs. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking. Allow to cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until the outside is crisp and golden brown. Allow to drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Lightly spray the buns with the cooking spray and place in a frying pan over low heat until slightly toasted.
• Place 4 pickle chips on the bottom half of each bun, then top with the fried “chicken.” Serve immediately.
