    I made this today. Great changed one thing, added vinegar to the milk to make buttermilk and omitted the ranch dressing. Very good. Yours was the only recipe that I saw that told me to marinate the mushrooms.
  • That crunch and that dance. You know it's good if they're dancing.

    ++10/10 would make it again++ Here are some notes: You have to use Oyster Mushrooms. Don't substitute any other mushroom. Use as many oyster mushrooms as you want. For the marinade, you can use milk, heavy cream, or any non dairy milk alternative you want. I used soy milk. It was great. She put garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, and ranch. I did not have any of that. I used French's Honey Mustard, Lawry's Total Seasoning(which contains garlic and onion powder), lots of pepper, and Siracha. I did not measure anything. I just kept tasting the marinade until I liked it before adding in the mushrooms. You do the same. I marinated it in a tall mixing bowl, with enough marinade to drench most of the mushrooms. I just made sure to mix the mushrooms every now and then to make sure everything is coated. I marinated it for 4 hours because I trust her opinion that it helps lock in moisture. I must say, using ranch instead of honey mustard sounds really delicious. The beauty of cooking is, like she said, you can switch up the flavors to whatever you want. As for the flour mixture, I used Lawry's Garlic Salt and lots of pepper. Mix it in with the flour to combine. I kept adding until there was a lot of color. Dont taste raw flour. There is bacteria fyi. How much flour should you use? You just have to eyeball it. Don't overdo your seasoning. The oil brings a lot of flavor and you can always dip your mushrooms in ketchup if needed. I cooked the first batch on medium heat. That was a mistake. I found the best way to cook it is on high heat. I used enough oil to drench the bottom half of the mushrooms. Since it is on high heat, you want to watch it. Do not leave it alone. We want the color to be golden. When the bottom is golden, flip it. When the other side is golden, flip it again. And after that point, maybe flip 2 more times in the next 2 minutes, or until the mushroom is not longer hard. Make sure you are careful when you flip. If your tongs dig into the mushrooms and slide, your coating might be pushed off. It is not a huge problem. It is just something to be mindful of. Keep flipping for a few minutes. For my first batch, I just waited until it was somewhat golden. It looked good, but the problem was it was hard. Cook in high heat for the color and cook for more than 4 minutes total to make sure the mushroom isnt hard. Overall, it tasted amazing. I did not expect it to taste so similar to chicken. Will you be fooling people? Maybe, maybe not. The texture is the same. It is stringy. But I would say the shape is definitely a huge giveaway. Regardless, I am sure meatlovers would like it. It is delicious.

    In my two year journey I've tried everything to duplicate this taste to no avail. God bless your ministry sista IM DELIVERED! I can finally make a "chicken" sandwich and use hot sauce again.
  • Yo!!! (In my New York city accent ) this recipe is amazing!!! I tried it for lunch today. It satisfies my love of greasy fried. I cooked it in coconut oil. Enough to cover but not too deep. I marinated it overnight in creamy coconut milk and my season's. I used the oxtail seasonings hot sauce one clove of elephant garlic. I used regular flour to batter and fry. Oyster mushrooms are sold at Whole foods and a case at restaurant depo is 11 dollars. THANK YOU!!! I love 💘 this
  • @ms.payton1458
    I completed my first week of my vegetarian journey, and I feel this will be a great recipe to use whenever that chicken craving may arise. Thank you for sharing!!!!
  • @e.allange8403
    Just made this - amazing! My husband and I have been vegan for about a month and a half, and these definitely hit the spot. Marinated them in soy milk, Tabasco, and spices and then, for the breading, took inspo from Sweet Potato soul and mixed flour, arrowroot, Tony's, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of cinnamon and served them with waffles. Will 1000% make again, hopefully on a po-boy!
  • Thank you for posting. I had just purchased some oyster mushrooms and was curious on how I wanted to prepare them. I came across your video and WOW is all I can say. I followed the directions and marinated them over night with a few tweaks of seasonings I had on hand. I made 2 batches: one with no sauce and the second batch I tossed lightly with sweet Ray's barbecue sauce. My family ripped through them with ease and all enjoyed. Thank you for sharing this kickass recipe.
  • You had me at that first crunch! Gonna sneak this into the company potluck, wish me luck!
  • @brandimate

  • it was so good !!! my mom and i made it and i think this is the best fried “chicken” recipe i’ve seen !! thank you for the tip on marinating to stop the rubber band texture 10/10 recommend
  • I made this and ate it 3 days in a row!!!! It was amazing!!! My husband enjoyed it as well and he’s so picky. Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m now addicted to your channel and your family is just as beautiful and amazing as you are! God Bless! I made my family promise to take me to Dallas so I can visit some of the wonderful Vegan spots I’ve seen on your channel by the end of the summer!😅😂🤣
  • @kamricole
    Wow, so I tried this recipe (exchanged Tonys for Slap Ya Mama seasoning) and it was SO bomb! Very crispy on outside and juicy on the inside. Thank you so much!!!
