Announcing! The Vegan Victuals
Vegan Fried Chicken Showdown

I know, I know—my Burger Battles just abruptly stopped. But there were just so many options. This battle I’m getting an early jump on. As eateries begin to offer the vegan version of this staple, I’m going to get chomping. The best vegan fried chicken.

First, some notes and guidelines. These are first and foremost HOUSEMADE. NO packages. No May-Wah. No Gardein. No other super processed piece of science meat that’ll have you picking out shards of texturized soy protein from your teeth a week later. That means those horrid triangular vegan “wings” that folks just throw a bunch of sauce on and expect us to be excited about need not apply. This is scratch-made seitan. Mushroom. Tofu. Ok, I don’t mind if you don’t make the tofu from scratch. But this is 2019. Vegan food has come a long way. Let’s stop with the packaged options!

Some of these vegan chicken dishes are sandwiches… and some are pieces with waffles. All but Modine are from New York City. All represent an amazing shift in vegan cuisine. So I will eat em all up and tell you which is the best.

So while you are reading this, I’m on my way to have my first vegan chicken sandwich. Stay tuned!
