Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces plant-based chicken patties
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 8 slices bread and butter pickles
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, mix almond milk and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce to create a buttermilk-like mixture.
Dip each plant-based chicken patty into the flour mixture, then into the almond milk mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture to coat thoroughly. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated plant-based patties into the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, remaining hot sauce, white vinegar, and sugar to create a spicy mayo.
In a larger bowl, toss shredded cabbage with 2 tablespoons of the spicy mayo to make a creamy slaw.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or toaster.
Spread a layer of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun, then place a fried plant-based chicken patty on top.
Add a generous scoop of creamy slaw and 2 slices of bread and butter pickles to each sandwich.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot.
