Sir Paul McCartney:"I am a vegetarian because I realize that even little chickens suffer pain and fear, experience a range of feelings and emotions, and are as intelligent as mammals, including dogs, cats, and even some primates."
So, with that in mind, we can prepare faux chicken strips, and enjoy faux chicken deli slices, and avoid cruelty to chickens.
Try this Fried "Chicken" recipe.
1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 cups unbleached white flour 4 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (optional) 3 Tbsp. yellow mustard 1/2 cup water 2 Tbsp. baking powder 1 lb. mock chicken (try Morningstar Farms' Chik'n Strips) 3 1/2 cups vegetable oil.
Mix together the salt, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, flour, and nutritional yeast in a deep bowl. In a separate bowl, dilute the mustard with the water. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and stir. Combine the baking powder with the remaining flour mixture.
Dip chunks of the mock chicken into the mustard batter, then drop into the flour mixture to coat with the desired amount of "crust." Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or use a deep fryer) and fry until crispy and golden brown, turning as needed. Makes 4 servings
