Ingredients

• 4 pieces Soy chicken-style patties
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup Vegetarian mayonnaise
• 8 slices Pickles

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water while stirring until a smooth batter is formed.

Step 2

Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. This will be used to coat the soy patties.

Step 3

Dip each soy chicken-style patty into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Step 4

Transfer the battered patty to the breadcrumbs, pressing down slightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well, creating an even coating.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil with a small piece of batter—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated patties in the hot oil. Fry them in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Fry each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried patties from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on a dry pan if desired.

Step 9

Spread a generous layer of vegetarian mayonnaise on each bun half.

Step 10

Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a fried patty.

Step 11

Top each patty with slices of tomato and pickles. Add the top bun to complete the burger.

Step 12

Serve the vegetarian fried chicken burgers immediately while hot and enjoy!
