This vegan Fried TVP Chicken is made by wrapping TVP slices in rice paper, dipping them in egg replacement and flour, and lastly pan-frying them until golden and crispy.
This recipe is somehowsimilar to my Vegan Schnitzel recipe because it also uses the TVP slices as a base, but with the added rice paper skin and pan-fried to crispy perfection, it turns into vegan Fried TVP Chicken! And it’s a little bit insane.
TVP is short for Textured Vegetable Protein, it’s available indifferent forms: granule, chunks, slices, curls. I am sure you have seen them in the store! I LOVE TVP because it’s versatile, has a great “meaty” texture, and is easy to prepare (they cook rather quickly!). It also stores forever. You can read more about it in my Guide about TVP.
The TVP slices in this recipe arewrapped in rice paper wrappers which makes an awesome crispy skin. Depending on the size of your rice paper wrappers you’ll have more or less skin.
I have to say – these are weirdly and amazingly awesome! The skin reminded me so much of fried chicken – I’ve never had anything that similar on a vegan basis.
The rice paper has to be soft and flexiblein order to wrap the TVP slices. I’ve placed one rice wrapper after another into a shallow plate with water. It only takes a few seconds for the paper to get soft enough.
As for the spices, I’ve used a classic ‘fried chicken’ seasoning, salt, paprika powder, and garlic powder. But you can experiment with different spices. What about tandoori masala fried chicken? Or spicy sesame fried chicken? There are endless possibilities!
As always, you can find the whole recipe in the box below but I want to give you an overview of the required ingredients and basic steps with step-by-step photos first.
The ingredients
You will need:
TVP slices/medaillons – If you don’thave any access to TVP slices, you can easily sub it with some gardein or other fake meats that are availablewhere you live. But keep in mind, that some of these fake meats don’t need any boiling so just leave out the first step!
I hope you will enjoy this Vegan Fried TVP Chicken as much as I did! Drop me a comment if you’ve tried it!

This vegan Fried TVP Chicken is made by wrapping TVP slices in rice paper, dipping them in egg replacement and flour, and lastly pan-frying them until golden and crispy.
1/2teaspoonkala namak(gives it an eggy taste, alternatively replace it with 1/4 tsp salt)
Ingredients for the flour coating
3tablespoonsall-purpose-flour
1/2teaspoonssalt
1/2teaspoonpaprika powder
1/8teaspoongarlic powder
Instructions
In a pot, bring the veggie broth to a boil. Add the TVP slices and cook them until soft (takes about 10 minutes). Once they are soft, drain them and gently press out excess water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, sriracha sauce, and kala namak for the egg replacement. The mixture should be egg-like, you can add more or less water if you need to.
In another small bowl, mix the ingredients for the flour coating: flour, salt, paprika powder, and garlic powder.
Soften the rice paper by placing one in a shallow plate filled with water – it will be soft in 10-20 seconds.
Transfer the softened rice paper onto a clean, lightly wet surface and add one TVP slice in the middle. Wrap it in. Repeat until you’ve wrapped all the TVP slices.
First dip the rice paper-wrapped TVP slices in the egg replacement, turn them, then coat them in the flour breading. Then add them to a pan with frying oil (the bottom should be covered with the oil but don’t fill it too much otherwise it might spill over). Pan-fry the vegan TVP chicken on both sides until golden and crispy but this only takes about 4 minutes.
Transfer them onto a paper towel to remove excess oil. Then you’re done!

In 2021, Torres purchased a multi-million-dollar manufacturing plant in San Diego, California. The huge facility is capable of producing over 20,000 units weekly, now making Atlas Monroe the largest manufacturer of vegan fried chicken in the world.
What is vegan chicken? As the name implies, there are no real chickens involved in the making of vegan chicken. Instead, brands use a number of different plant-based ingredients, like soy, pea protein, and even jackfruit, to recreate the same taste and texture as the real thing.
All-purpose flour- works as the ingredient for the breadcrumbs to stick to. Greek yogurt- keeps the chicken moist while cooking. I believe it's the best substitution for eggs when breading chicken. Olive oil spray- used to seal the seasoned breadcrumbs onto the chicken cutlets before cooking.
Business is certainly booming for Atlas Monroe. In 2021 the company made $2 million in sales. She also opened a multi-million dollar manufacturing facility in San Diego, which has allowed the company to scale production from making 1,000 pieces of vegan fried chicken per week to more than 20,000.
Based on the nature of Cuban's investments, he seems to talk the talk and walk the walk of a plant-based aficionado. And despite the fact that he went vegetarian in 2019, he isn't fully vegan. However, he has made incredible efforts to bring more attention to the work of vegan food brands.
In fact, in 2022, its customers exceeded 2 billion. That's a heck of a lot of chicken sandwiches (527 million, to be exact). But for those who don't want to eat meat from factory-farmed hens, does the chain have any vegan options? The answer is yes, but not many.
If you're looking for finger lickin' flavour without the chicken, you're in the right place. Coated in our famous 11 herbs and spices, our Original Recipe Vegan Burger will definitely satisfy your plant-based cravings.
Beyond Fried Chicken is made mostly of soy and wheat proteins. It is also coated with similar breading to KFC's popcorn nuggets. The KFC website lists the ingredients of Beyond Fried Chicken, including water, enriched wheat flour, soy protein isolate, canola oil, wheat gluten, natural flavorings, and yeast extract.
Once melted, this delicious oil will mix well into most batters, brownies and bakes. And it can be used to replace eggs when you're breading foods, such as tofu, before baking or frying. Others oils, such as vegetable oil, can also be used to replace eggs.
Because of their excellent texture, beans and sprouts are a suitable alternative for diced chicken. Chefs who specialise in vegetarian or vegan cooking often add beans into stews and soups, where chunks of chicken may have been used traditionally.
Also known as pollo-vegetarian, the pollotarian diet is considered to be a type of semi-vegetarianism, as some forms of animal meat are allowed. While the prefix “pollo” literally translates to “chicken” in Spanish, pollotarians generally eat all forms of poultry, including turkey and duck.
There are more than a few reasons why mayo makes sense as a substitute for egg wash. Since they both share the same main ingredient (eggs), they function in very similar ways. Much like egg wash acts as a binding agent to help seasonings and breadcrumbs stick to meat, creamy mayonnaise also manages to do the same.
Yes, you can use milk instead of eggs as long as you coat the cutlets in a layer of flour first. The combination of flour and milk will create a sticky coating that breadcrumbs can adhere to.
First dip each piece of chicken in the flour, dusting off any extra; then into the eggs, making sure it is coated completely; and finally into the panko, making sure the whole piece is evenly coated. Let the breaded chicken pieces rest on a plate for 15 to 30 minutes at room temp.
