Best VEGAN Air Fryer Fried Chicken Recipe

#vegan #veganfriedchicken #airfryer Try this delicious Vegan Fried Chicken recipe in an air fryer made with Soy Curls. I recently found out about soy curls from a friend and we are hooked! They are the least processed vegan ‘chicken’ product out there. There is literally only one ingredient in them… which is drumroll textured whole soy beans! The texture is just like steamed chicken and once you put seasoning on them and fry them up in the air fryer, they are a game changer! So easy to make and versatile enough to go into soups, casseroles, rice, stir-fry, noodles, chili, salads, curries, tacos and enchiladas.

For this recipe, I rehydrate them with boiling hot water, but when I use them in slow cooker or instant pot recipes, I usually put them in straight from the bag with extra liquid to save time.

INGREDIENTS
1 bag Butler Soy Curls 
6 cups boiling water
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup panko
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons sage
1 stalk thyme (approx. 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons old bay seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Put the soy curls in a heat proof pan on the stove and pour the boiling water over them. Let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes, or until softened completely.Pour into a strainer in your sink to drain, then press the extra water out with a large spoon.
Mix the breading ingredients together well in a large bowl.
Add the drained soy curls to a large bowl and mix in the breading until they are well-coated.

Place the breaded soy curls into your air fryer and cook at 380 degrees for 5 minutes. Take them out, shake and cook for 5 more minutes.
Serve as is in a salad, lettuce wrapped tacos or even in a curry like we did!
