Ingredients
- 6 ounces fried chicken mushrooms (or oyster mushrooms)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup water
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Wipe the mushroom cap with a damp paper towel, then use a paring knife to clean between the gills.
- Slice larger mushrooms in half and leave the smaller ones whole.
- Whisk flour, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add water (or plant-based milk) and mix to form a thick, smooth batter. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until a thermometer registers between 350°-375°F.
- Using tongs, dip fried chicken mushrooms into the batter and allow the excess to drop back into the bowl.
- Gently place battered mushrooms into the hot oil, working in batches. Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain excess oil onto paper towels. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For even a crunchier texture, add some panko crumbs to your flour mixture.
- Keep the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F when frying the mushrooms. If the oil temperature is lower, the mushrooms will be greasy, and if the temperature is higher, the 'fried chicken" will burn.
- When frying the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. Adding too many mushrooms at once can lower the oil's temperature.
