Chef's Notes


To store, cool completely on a cooling rack set over a paper towel lined baking sheet. Then, line an airtight container with paper towels and carefully transfer it in. The paper towels will absorb any condensation and keep the chick’n crisp. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. 
To reheat, just toss the vegan fried chick’n in the air fryer basket and heat at 375 for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp and heated through. 

Don’t have any air fryer? Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, place the chick’n on a baking sheet, and heat for about 10 minutes.
