Since we love animals, and root for plant-based, this is obviously not chicken ;-) But rather Seitan. Seitan is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat.
With 75g of plant protein per 100g, seitan is a protein bomb! And what's even better is that it is so quick to prepare. You can easily whip up this vegan sriracha "chicken" dish in no time.
