This vegan fried chicken sandwich recipe is AMAZING – just dredge through a vegan milk mixture and crumbs, and then fry in a skillet. Buns with slaw and mayo are truly optional, but oh-so-delicious!
Fried chicken might be something you wouldn’t see on a vegan diet. And in the truest sense of the word, it isn’t. However, this easy vegan recipe makes the entree a possibility in your life again.
How to Make Vegan Fried Chicken Sandwich
This vegan fried chicken sandwich recipe is pretty straight forward and simple to make. It’s a passion of mine to follow the KISS (keep it simple, silly) principle in the kitchen!
And that’s what we’re showcasing today, a vegan version of the Endless Simmer/HuffPo’s series, America’s Top 10 new Sandwiches, Number 5, the Fried Chicken Sandwich.
Low Carb Vegan Recipes
This vegan fried chicken sandwich is one of my low carb vegan recipes. It clocks in with 12g of carb and 3g of fiber, resulting in a net carb balance of 9g per patty.
Of course, the bun will add some carbs so you can decide if you want to go there or not. Eventually I’ll provide you with a vegan low carb bun option as well.
Vegan Sandwiches
Do you love vegan sandwiches? Me too! You should check out some of my favorite vegan sandwich recipes.
For example, my Vegan French Dip Sandwich is easy to make and OH so tasty! And while we’re talking about decadence, you cannot deny that my Ultimate Veggie Burger sandwich is, well, the ultimate in burgers. It is an indulgence that we love to go to for special occasions.
Of course, there are the basics like my Vegan Tuna Salad and my Vegan Egg Salad recipes. You can pile that high on bread or serve it over a salad. Whatever works for you!
So grab a coke, pop in some Stevie Ray Vaughan, and enjoy this vegan, new agey twist on a classic American sandwich.

WOW, this looks and sounds fantastic. The cashew cream crusted chikn sounds perfect! Great job Leinana!
This looks fabulous! Great job girl!
This looks awesome! I love that the chick’n is coated in cashew cream. Yummm!
Beautiful photos! I love this sandwich.
Amazing photos! I love chicken sandwiches, but never thought that they could be made vegetarian.
What a fun and creative project! I should have you guys veganize some of my sandwiches…there are a lot of people who I’m sure would appreciate it! 🙂
Very nice…these look tasty!
That cashew cream sounds amazing, and the spicy slaw is similar to what we had tonight.
Awesome that you went the Vegan route on those top 10 – I much prefer these to the ones on that list 🙂
Wow, I would so prefer this sandwich to a real chicken sandwich. It looks so crispy and the slaw is making my mouth water. Plus, the after effect of eating something like this instead of meat, is just so nice too;) REAL FOOD-Yeah!
Mmm looks delicious but the suspense is killing me, what’s gonna be number 1?
Wow, I’m so impressed this is Vegan!
I am totally drooling over that sandwich! I have yet to try Gardein…I may be open to it now (I’m not a big faux meat person, and I don’t really eat real meat either). I can just taste that crunchy slaw! Seriously, delicious. Looking forward to checking out your other recipes. I am so happy Angie/Eclectic Recipes forwarded me your site! 🙂
Your Bakesale Betty’s Vinaigrette Coleslaw recipe is really good. Like the fact it does not use mayo or other heavy sauces often added to slaw. Should go great with BBQ as well, will definitely try it.
Your sandwich recipes are all terrific. Wonder how different the sandwiches turn out using grilled chicken instead of fried chicken. Your photos make the food look so real…Thank you for sharing.
Ohhhh… a heartfelt THANK YOU THANK YOU from this Oaklander! Been missing the Betty’s sandwiches since going meatless and now we can have them again!
A giant virtual hug to you. Or a virtual handshake if you’d prefer it. 😉
Loved finding these recipes! I live where it is not so easy to find Vegan products (ie Vegan meats) so I adapt the recipes. I took the coleslaw and added grated carots and zucchini and cilantro and tofu. Then canned kidney beans and corn tortillas and sliced avacodo to make tacos. So great! Thank you. Really great combos. And wonderful Vegan blog sites.
Thank you so much for these vegan options. I was so disgusted when I saw the Huffington Post, and I was really, truly worried for our nation. Thanks for restoring my hope and giving me something beautiful to live for. 🙂 Go vegans!!
I made this for dinner tonight with my omnivore roommate. We could NOT get over how fantastic it tasted! Thank you for posting!
I’m so glad! By the way, I completely agree! I’m glad we didn’t have a contest to have people vote for their favorite sandwiches. I would not have been able to choose. Have you seen The Maple? Or the Bulgogi Tofu Steak? Oh, I have to stop myself because now I’m getting hungry again!
I JUST made this for dinner tonight, and it is SO satisfying. Thank you for the recipe!
