Meatless Monday Recipe–Art Smith Vegan Fried Chicken

Art Smith and Tal Ronnen
Today is the last Meatless Monday recipe before Thanksgiving and what better way to celebrate a holiday tradition than with a traditional meal of fried NOT-chicken!
Guaranteed to put KFC to shame, this vegan fried chicken doesn’t involve birds being scalded in hot water or their throats slit (a nice image to accompany while eating real chicken, though), but it does involve Gardein faux chicken fillets, Chick’n Scallopini, available from natural and veg-friendly stores like Whole Foods. This recipe if so perfectly put together, you could probably even substitute another vegetarian chicken if Gardein is no where to be found.
Art Smith, a two time James Beard Foundation Award winner and chef living in Hyde Park, Chicago, doesn’t keep his recipe secret like some other recently named chain of chicken restaurants. Garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, black pepper and cayenne pepper added to flour provide a spiced mixture to dredge your fillets in for a crust that’s crispy with a kick.
Yes, there is an alternative to Tofurky and side dishes this week.
Grab the recipe for vegan fried chicken and enjoy your Thanksgiving in good taste and good conscious.
