by Chef Kayla Morgan 

Makes approx. 4-6 large tenders

  • 1 package of crEATe Chicken (prepared with water/oil)
  • 1 bottle of JUST Egg
  • 1/2 cup Franks Hot Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Crystal Hot Sauce
  • 1 stick of vegan butter
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • frying oil
  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cups of panko breadcrumbs
  • vegan ranch (optional)
  • salt & pepper to taste
  1. Form the prepared crEATe Chicken into tender sized pieces on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer until firm enough to withstand batter and oil.
  2. Prepare the hot sauce by adding a stick of vegan butter, both hot sauces, garlic sauce, pepper and maple syrup in a pan on the stove top – melt and combine on a low-medium heat. 
  3. Heat up the frying oil in a pan of 350 degrees F.
  4. Prepare your wet and dry batter for frying. In one container add flour, cornstarch, panko, salt and pepper.
  5. Once ready to fry, coat chicken in the wet batter first followed by the dry batter. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. 
  6. Once you remove the tenders from the oil, drizzle, coat or toss them in the hot sauce. 
  7. Serve with ranch and cut up celery / carrots. (optional)
