Ingredients
  

  • 6 Gardein chick’n scallopini filets thawed or any Vegan Chick'n you like!
  • 4 slices vegan cheese ⁣
  • BBQ Sauce or make the BBQ sauce recipe below!
  • 4 slices Texas Toast mandatory
  • Vegan butter or mayo
  • Oil for frying

Honey BBQ Sauce

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Vegan Worcestershire
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Honey more to taste

Dry Dredge

  • 1/2 cup flour⁣
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp seasoning of choice or make spice mix below

Spice Mix (for Dry Dredge)

  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground sage
  • 1/2 tsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Mushroom Seasoning (I used Imperial Taste Brand)
  • 1/2 tsp Chipotle powder
  • Black pepper to taste

Wet Batter

  • 1 cup plant milk unsweetened
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • To make the BBQ sauce, simply combine everything in a saucepan, simmer on low heat until reduced to desired thickness (I did mine for about 10 minutes), add to the fridge until needed.
  • Cut each chick'n filet in half lengthwise. Form the strips with your hands so they match the length of your Texas Toast. You should have 12 strips. So you'll have 3 per sandwich. Once strips are formed, add them to a parchment paper lined baking tray and freeze while we prepare the dredging station and heat the oil
  • Heat oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F.
  • While oil is heating up, prepare your dredging station. Combine and whisk the ingredients for the dry and wet batter in separate bowls respectively.
  • Once oil is up to frying temperature, dredge your chick’n strips in the wet batter, then the dry dredge, shaking off any excess, and repeat to Double Dredge. Carefully add to oil and fry until golden brown. Once fried, let them rest on a cooling rack.⁣
  • While Chick’n rests, heat up a pan and⁣ spread some vegan butter or mayo on one side of each piece of Texas Toast. Add to pan over medium low heat. Add a slice of vegan cheese on one piece of bread (per sandwich). Cover to help melt the cheese.
  • After the Cheese is melted, remove the Texas Toast from the pan, top with BBQ Sauce, 3 chick’n strips per sandwich, more BBQ Sauce, and then top with the other slice of Texas Toast and DIG IN!!
