  • 1/2 Tbsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • oil for frying - (I used sunflower seed oil)

Instructions

  • Freeze tofu packages and defrost twice.
  • Drain water from packages and squeeze as much water possible out of your tofu blocks to create meaty stringy layers.
  • Tear your tofu into pieces of your desired “chickn” size and throw some Italian herb mix seasoning and Louisiana sauce all over your pieces.
  • In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients and add in your 2 vegan eggs.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
  • Dip your pieces into the wet mix and then into the dry mix and fry in medium/hot oil (I used sunflower seed oil).
  • Once pieces are crisp take them out of your pot, let them sit aside for 5 minutes and then fry again for 30 seconds in hot oil, this will give it a really good crisp.
  • Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
