Ingredients

  • 1 Pkg Daring Original Plant Chicken Pieces (thawed)
  • 1 Tbps Olive oil, plus more for greasing wire rack
  • ¼ cup Vegan sour cream
  • ¼ cup Aquafaba (juice from chickpea can)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
  • 1 Sleeve Ritz crackers (about 100g)
  • 2 ounces Vegan cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Onion powder

Step 1

Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, aquafaba and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Add the Plant Chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the vegan sour cream mixture all over the Plant Chicken.

Step 3

In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the vegan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Add each piece of plant chicken to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the plant chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded plant chicken to the sheet pan.

Step 4

Repeat with all the remaining Daring Plant Chicken Pieces.

Step 5

Bake until the outsides are crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let the Daring Plant Chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.
