Today I tried to see if I could make tofu taste like fried chicken. I have collected some hacks from the online world and tested them out to see if tofu could in fact stand as a vegan dupe for fried chicken. Let me know in the comment section what hack you want me to test next!

The first hack I tested I saw on Mary’s Test Kitchen. In her hack she uses medium firm tofu and freezes it twice to get a super chicken-like texture that absorbs marinade like a champ.

The second hack I’ve seen online like 4000 times. It is a super easy Pineapple juice marinade. I found this marinade to be the easiest and most straight forward.
It’s from I Can You Can Vegan:

I’m going to make this!!!
I feel like you could use veggie stock instead of water in the marinade and it would be way more tasty
You look so gorgeous in this video wow
Great idea, we’ll give it a try! 😋🌱
More hacks like this please!
This looks so good! I get mad cravings for tofu (especially fried 😀)def a recipe worth trying!
You can marinate the tofu in non chicken broth for a chicken flavor.
Does it make it taste super pineappley? I know that’s a dumb question, IT’S PINEAPPLE JUICE. I just really hate pineapple and if it tastes too much like it I won’t like it. I was hoping maybe the soy/tamari helps mask the flavor a little? 🙏🏻
