Wings and soup are both wonderful creations you can make with your chicken of the woods, but this sandwich is something you need to try.

For the ultimate sandwich you’ll need quality buns, soft onion rolls pair beautifully in this sandwich. A sweet Hawaiian roll or a poppy seed bun would also be perfect!

A brioche bun also does wonders for this sandwich. The other show-stopping toppings you’ll need are plant-based ranch, butter pickles, and coleslaw.
Just like your classic fried chicken sandwiches!
This sandwich is some plant-based soul food!

Tossing the fried Laetiporus sulphureus in some bbq or hot sauce before adding it to your sandwich is an awesome option. Use less ranch when you assemble everything if you go that route.

Instead of coleslaw you could try sprouts, lettuce, or your favorite type of green. The options are limitless- go with your gut!

@jess.flowers Fried Chicken of the Woods Ranch Sandwich is one of my favorite ways to eat Chicken of the Woods! The chicken of the woods mushroom tastes and shreds like chicken- hence the name. It is fantastic breaded up in a chicken style sandwich! I made this vegan by using Just Egg to dip the breading and a homemade plant based ranch dressing. #chickenofthewoods #veganrecipes #wildmushrooms #veganchicken #vegan #veganfood #mushroomrecipes #vegansandwich #veganchickensandwhich ♬ Walker – Official Sound Studio
