Friends, this is the BEST vegan fried chicken recipe. It's seriously crunchy on the outside with well-seasoned breading full of nooks and crannies. But the inside is what makes this vegan fried chicken different from all the rest. You won't believe how tender, juicy and meaty this vegan 'chicken' tastes and looks. Flavour bursts from layers of 'meat' as you bite into it.

I stumbled across the secret to creating this realistic, crispy and juicy vegan chicken last year (you might have seen it on my Instagram stories) and have since perfected it so you can make it easily at home. Make deep-fried vegan chicken on your stove top or deep-fryer for the absolute best vegan chicken you've ever had. Or, you can bake these golden pieces of juicy perfection in the oven for the best oven-fried vegan chicken ever. And it's gluten-free to boot!

BTW, using food that has been frozen and thawed twice is safe, as long as you do it right! Don't forget to read the printable recipe before you start.

FYI Not all brands of tofu will result in the flaky layers. Check the printable recipe for the list of Tofu brands/varieties have been tested and what readers/viewers have

Cheap Lazy Vegan says:

literally got goosebumps watching this and as you were tearing the tofu LOL wtf is wrong with me hahahaha anywayH OLY MOTHER OF CHRIST WOMAN YOU’VE REVOLUTIONIZED VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN

Eat Right Smile Hard says:

Your comment made me rofl. I’ll have to try this method for our tacos….coming soon!

Kitten Frost says:

Mary’s Test Kitchen Hello, do you have alternative to garlic powder and coconut milk/oil. I’m allergic. Thanks!

Gina Jones says:

Me too

Donya Lane says:

@Kitten Frost , check out asafoetida as a garlic substitute. It’s used in Indian cooking, in lieu of garlic. There are certain Indian sects that don’t eat garlic.

Also, I love that Rose (Cheap Lazy Vegan) made a comment here!

Martha MacAnalee says:

Cheap Lazy Vegan You are awesome, too! I love your videos.

Angela says:

I’m not even vegan but I continue to be amazed at the innovation found in vegan substitute foods.

Emala A. says:

Jaclyn Mackenzie I’m eating some delicious lamb chops today. Freshly neck cut form the farm 😍

chloro says:

@Emala A. you really got em

Chippy_ Chip says:

@Diego Lugo I agree with some of the stuff you said but let’s say the animal is raised on a wonderful farm just living life to the fullest and when time comes it’s killed you see the things is although it lived a great life the fact that it’s still being killed doesn’t make it right and a lot of People think that’s ok just because it’s gonna die sooner or later do I now we’ll with that logic I might as well go kill someone since they are going to die sooner or later and about the pesticide and stuff not sure if you knew but there are vegan pesticides with don’t use any bugs but when it comes to kill the animals that may be around those plants and stuff it’s still wrong but when they are killed it’s I guess not an Intentional thing like killing them for food but killing them to keep them away witch shouldn’t even be done but like i said I agree with you but I just wanted it let some things be known fell free to change my mind enlighten me if you disagree I’m willing to listen and change :3

Maygan Phynix says:

then what is stopping you from going vegan? 🙂

Edgy Veg says:

This is how my mom makes tofu! I used to think she was INSANE for freezing it! I can’t wait to try this recipe Mary!

LottaTroublemaker says:

Edgy Veg – A few years ago, they told me at a local Asian store, that you cannot freeze tofu. LuckilyI didn’t think it made any sense, so I went ahead and did it anyway and discovered how easy you get the water out and how it changes in texture (becomes more chewy)… ☺️ Where would vegan food be, if people weren’t creative and shared? 👏🙌👍💚🌱✅❣️

marciliz says:

Edgy Veg Do you have a version like this with Jackfruit? If not, I would love to see your version of this with Jackfruit! 😊

Unicorn Royalty says:

it is gluten free

Daniel Kernya says:

@Mary’s Test Kitchen love this video. Question: can I bake these then reheat to order?

hannahmitchell87 says:

So we freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw, press?

Zachary Williams says:

use seasoning, even just paprika would have made significant difference

Rowan Hollingsworth says:

@Prophet Master Commercial paprika is way past its best before it reaches the shelf. Fresh paprika is unbelievably tasty, takes only a small amount to come through, and is cheaper to make than buying that overpriced stale crap.

tamia11 falanna says:

True

kalo924 says:

We put hot sauce in the egg mix. YUM

kalo924 says:

Ours was well seasoned… Double strength poultry seasoning + seasoned Panko + hot sauce in the “egg”… Hot fried chicken

kalo924 says:

Oh yeah… And seasoned flour.

Jess Teh says:

why do people declare they’re not vegan in the comments 😂

drawinaminute with Dr.Rajasaurus says:

You need them to testify that this actually tastes like actual chicken!

Alexandra B says:

To show the creator that she interested even meat lovers like myself! Lol

drawinaminute with Dr.Rajasaurus says:

…. Finn you’re delicious!

JoJoZep ofthejungle says:

Because they feel bad about eating meat. They are thinking about becoming vegan and surfing the net to find recipes before the switch. These type cooking show who use super expensive ingredient choices just frighten people away.

Allie Kingsley says:

Because I want other people who aren’t vegan or vegetarian to know that they can have delicious fried food that tastes as good as fried chicken without needing to kill a chicken for it?

Because letting meat eating folks know this is just as good and satisfying as animal based fried chicken might make a few of them switch to this when they want that fried chicken flavor, meaning less chickens are slaughtered each year?

Because we want Mary to know her food can be enjoyed by meat eaters and non-GF folks too?

All those?

Felicia Burzotta says:

For the “bitsies”, I feel like you could keep them bite-sized and turn them into popcorn chicken!

Evan Wakeham says:

You are so right on that one

kalo924 says:

I was surprised they actually stayed together frying. 😊

serg10x says:

I am not vegan but I came to see what kind of sorcery this was.

Michael Pulliam says:

Celeste Cristwell says:

Prophet Master says:

All The World's A Stage! says:

😂

TOLC33 says:

Lol

Sam Evans says:

Thought this was gonna be cauliflower, but it’s tofu! This is exciting!

In the Beauty of Holiness says:

I thought so too. This looks so much yummier!

Pabel says:

that looks more chicken than actual chicken

Felipe says:

I cant believe its not butter

Syam Rasid says:

Seriously? Where did you buy your actual chickens from? I think eating them would be a health hazard if your actual chickens looks like that.

urg says:

Syam Rasid seriously, where tf do they do their shopping?

N O says:

@paw 76 Just saying guys

Dahc. says:

Yeah where do you shop??

Javi Banza makes vids says:

No one:

Mary: like a butterfly baby

K K says:

Me: (Walking down the street)
Nobody around for days:
Absolutely nobody:
Mary: like a butterfly baby…

😂😂😂😂😂

Cheeto says:

@K K hilarious

FijiLaural says:

My granddaughter just said, ” does she know a baby butterfly is a caterpillar?” LOL

Shannavegana McInnis-Hurd says:

@FijiLaural haha. He is smart!!

Andrew Bryk says:

I think veganism would be a very easy sell if the common man or woman understood that you can deep fry anything if you’re not a coward.

Kathryn Gannon says:

@vlada Well that’s not being vegan it’s just eating rubbish.

Kathryn Gannon says:

@Blue North No, anything can make you fat it’s how much you eat and how many calories you expend.

Chippy_ Chip says:

@Prophet Master you are a smart individual also you can use salt it puts fires out also don’t know the chemistry behind it but it works

Babeena_Gt _ says:

Deep fried anything is bad for your health

Sharon Evans says:

@Noah Fried definitely not true!!!!

Julian Quinn says:

I’m not a vegan, but I’m here because I have vegan friends coming over on Friday. This is cool!

Mariah Craig says:

Samson Hinds says:

Still vegan?

Joylan Netter says:
