DIY: Vegan Chick-fil-A Sandwich!

Avatar of peta2

Posted August 15, 2012 by peta2 staff

Let’s get one thing straight: Chick-fil-A sucks. In addition to serving up sandwiches made of chicken corpses, the company clearly cares little to nothing about equal rights for people. I’m a Southern girl, and I admit that I used to eat at Chick-fil-A and other fast-food restaurants. But when I watched investigation footage of factory farms, I knew that I couldn’t support this horrible, unnecessary industry any longer, and I made the transition to a vegan lifestyle.

Hold on to your hat (or your cell phone)! We have a recipe that is sure to tempt your taste buds: our new do-it-yourself vegan Chick-fil-A sandwich.

Remember: You can always veganize your old favorites! :)

Ingredients
  • 4 vegan chicken cutlets
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup plain/unsweetened soy milk
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 3 cups peanut oil (or canola or vegetable oil), for frying
  • some Olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 buns
  • 16 dill pickle chips
Instructions
  1. Defrost/thaw the chicken cutlets (if frozen).
  2. Combine the soy milk and the pickle juice in a separate bowl, and mix well. This is the wet mixture. Set aside.
  3. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, dry mustard, and powdered sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir until well incorporated. This is the dry mixture. Set aside.
  4. Warm the peanut oil in a small pot over medium heat.
  5. Dip the chicken cutlets into the wet mixture, making sure to evenly coat it on all sides. Next, toss into the dry mixture and coat with a generous amount of the flour and spices. Repeat with remaining cutlets, and set aside.
  6. To fry the cutlets, carefully place one cutlet into the oil using a pair of tongs. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking. Allow to cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the outside is crisp and golden brown. Set onto a plate with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  7. Lightly spray the buns with the cooking spray, and place into a pan on low heat. Allow the buns to get warm and slightly toasted.
  8. To prepare, place 4 pickle chips on the bottom half of each bun and then top with your fried "chicken". Serve immediately.

Trick question: What’s my fave part about this sandwich? That it’s vegan, of course!

    Been a vegetarian since I was sixteen, and I am currently 18. I love being a vegetarian, and would never go back. At first the change was hard, but my strong mind overcame everything. Do what is right. Fight for those whose voice will never be heard.

    I love animals with all my heart and feel that we should treat them as individuals. If we as humans can make decisions of our own, why can’t we help animals try to be independent too? I think this website is a great way to stand up and speak for all the creatures that can’t.

      Exactely!! It Is Like How It Is Illegal For Cannabalism When If You Really Think It Is The Same Thing As Cannabalism To Eat Animals It Is Truly Disgusting And If Murder Is Illegal Then Why Does A Person Get 6 Months For Murdering Animals And We Kill Innocent Bugs Every Day And Look At It As Nothing!! Thank You Truly In Mother Nature Much For Posting Your Message You Are Truly Beautiful Inside And Out For Truly Caring And Truly Loving For Animals!!

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
