Ingredients

  • 8 oz Chicken of the Woods,

Dip Options* (Pick Below)

  • 1 bottle Just Egg
  • 4 tbs chickpea flour, plus 2 cups water whisked together
  • 2 tbs flax seed meal, 1 cup water whisked

Seasoned Flour

Oil* Optional

  • Refined Coconut, Sunflower, Canola Oil

Instructions

  • Clean your mushrooms and break them up into wing shapes/sizes
  • In a medium/large bowl prepare or pour your Dip
  • In another large bowl add everything for your seasoned flour, mixing well
  • Dip your mushrooms in to your dip, then the flour, and repeat 2-3 times depending on desired breading. Repeat for all mushrooms,

Air Fry Directions

  • Take your breaded mushrooms and freeze for 20-30 minutes. This will help the breading staying in place
  • Brush or spray a bit of oil over the partially frozen wings, skip this step if you want an oil free option.
  • Place in air fryer with space between the wings- give them space, do not over crowd
  • Air fry at 370 for 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes

Pan Fry Directions

  • Fill a medium pan with at least 3-4 inches deep of oil, heat up to 350 F or until water sizzles if you add a drop of water
  • Drop in your wings, allowing space between them
  • Flip at 3-4 mintues or golden brown
  • Place on either parament paper or a clean towel to absorb excess oil
  • Either coat in sauce or serve as is

Notes

  • -The Just Egg is the easiest option with the best flavor.
    -My go to is the flax seed meal with water for extra omega 3s
    -Chickpea flour with water also works great and is the best budget option.
    All of these options offer similar results for coating the wings, use what makes the most sense for you.
  • Use your flour of choice.
    I used all purpose flour and had great results. I also tried using whole wheat flour and tasted no difference and saw only a slight color change- no difference in flavor.
    I've been told chickpea flour can work for a gluten free option, but I have not tried it myself yet.
  • I love the flavor of nutritional yeast flakes in this recipe, however I recognize that is is not a common seasoning in many kitchens.
    I strongly encourage you to pick it up and try it since it adds depth and umami to this recipe.
    However, this recipe still tastes incredible without it
