Ingredients

• Servings: 4


• 1 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon seasoning salt


• 1 teaspoon onion powder


• 1 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1 teaspoon black pepper


• 1 dash cayenne (optional)


• 1 1/2 cups flour


• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional)


• 1/4 cup prepared mustard


• 2 tablespoons baking powder


• 1/2 cup water


• 1 lb seitan, cut into 1-2-inch square pieces


• oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium to large bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, flour, black pepper, cayenne and nutritional yeast.


• 2 in a separate small bowl, whisk together the mustard and water. add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and combine well.


• 3 add baking powder to the flour mixture and combine well.


• 4 coat pieces of seitan or mock chicken with the mustard batter, then coat each piece with the dry flour mixture.


• 5 fry chunks of "chicken" in the oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet for 3-5 minutes, turning once until golden brown. drain on a paper towel, serve with ketchup or barbeque sauce and enjoy!


• 6 tip: if your chunks are turning brown or black rather than a crispy golden brown, your oil is probably too hot! reduce the heat a small amount and try again.
