Ingredients
  

Biscuits

  • 1/2 cup one stick vegan butter (frozen)
  • 2 1/2 cups self rising flour*
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk plus more as needed
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp melted vegan butter
  • * for self-rising flour substitute check the recipe notes.

Fried Chick'n

  • 2 bags Gardein Chick'n Strips thawed or Vegan Chick'n of choice.
  • 1/2 cup flour⁣
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1-2 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning or of choice
  • 1 cup plant milk unsweetened
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Texas Pete or hot sauce of choice
  • Oil for frying⁣

Honey Butter

  • 1/4 cup Vegan Honey or agave, syrup
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Butter melted for runny honey butter or room temp for a firmer texture

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475 F.
  • To make the biscuits, grate your frozen butter and combine with the flour in a bowl. Break up any large clumps of butter with a fork or pastry cutter. Add to a freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Combine your unsweetened plant milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk and refrigerate for 10 minutes as well.
  • Make a well in your flour / butter mixture and pour in the vegan buttermilk. Stir around 15 times, adding a bit of plant milk if it's too dry and crumbly.
  • On a floured surface, form your dough into a rectangle, then roll out your dough. Fold it in half over itself. Repeat this step 5 times.
  • Depending on how thick your want your biscuits, roll out your dough to 1/2" or 3/4" thick. Dip a a cookie cutter (I used a 3 1/2" cutter) into some flour, then cut out your biscuits. Re-roll the excess dough and cut out more biscuits. You should get either 6 large biscuits, or 8-10 smaller biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure they're touching to help them rise. Bake them for 10 minutes.
  • Brush some melted vegan butter on top, then bake the biscuits for another 5-8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let them rest on a wire rack until cool enough to handle.
  • For the fried Chick'n, mash about 7 of the thawed Gardein chick'n strips into a patty. You should get about 3 patties per bag. Place them on a plate and refrigerate.
  • Prepare your dredging station. Combine the apple cider vinegar, hot sauce and plant milk, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to create the buttermilk.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and seasoning.
  • Heat up some frying oil to 375 F in a large pot or deep fryer.
  • Once oil is up to frying temperature, dredge your chick’n strips in the flour, then the buttermilk, shake 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.⁣
  • Combine ingredients for the vegan honey butter. You can serve at room temperature for a firmer texture, or microwave for a few seconds (be careful, it will melt quickly!) to get a runnier texture.
  • After chick’n has cooled for a bit, split biscuits in half, smear both biscuits with honey butter, add your chick'n, more honey butter if you’re feeling saucy and ENJOY!
