These hot little gems are part of the latest episode of RECIPE?! that went live on the YouTube channel today. It’s the segment where I just make something out of nothing and don’t really pay attention to what the actual recipe is. It’s cooking at its best, and everyone on the internet seems to identify with my off-the-cuff method of madness.

Honestly, the best things I make often have NO recipe at all. Then I have to make it again so I can actually write it down for you guys. The life of a food blogger ain’t easy… in this particular case. I hate writing down what I’m doing when the creative juices are flowing in the kitchen!

Anyhoo, this recipe combines two existing recipes on the blog. I’ve double breaded oyster mushrooms with the cauliflower buffalo wing batter and the breading is basically the same breading from the naked chicken chalupa recipe.

Essentially, you could add whatever spices you wanted to the flour breading and it will probably turn out delicious! Just remember to be quite generous. But here I’ve listed what I did and tried to come up with a more seamless, less messy method of double battering for you. If you watch the above video, you’ll see what a hot mess it all was… I was acting fast!

Remember I’m guessing here, but a 1/2 lbs to 1 lbs of oyster mushrooms should be good. I used tiny pieces because they were intended to be for the oyster mushroom po boy sandwich, but for this particular use I would buy bulk mushrooms and look for the largest pieces you can. Clusters would also work well.

The bigger the better. Then it’ll be juicier and look even more like authentic fried chicken!

Ingredients

batter

1/2 C unsweetened nondairy milk (almond or soy work best)1/2 C water3/4 C all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free rice flour)2 tsp garlic powder2 tsp onion powder1 tsp cumin1 tsp paprika1/4 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper

breading

2 C all-purpose flour1 tbsp sea salt1 tbsp chili powder2 tsp garlic powder2 tsp onion powder1 tsp ground black pepper1 tsp ground sage1 tsp ground coriander1 tsp smoked paprika1 tsp celery salt1/2 tsp ground nutmeg1/2 tsp ground cinnamon1/2 tsp ground cumin1/2 tsp ground all-spice

ranch dip

1 C Wildwood Zesty Garlic Aioli (or vegan mayonnaise of your choice)2 tsp apple cider vinegar1 tsp onion powder1/4 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper1 tbsp finely chopped dill1 tbsp finely chopped parsley1 tbsp finely chopped chives

extras

2 to 3 C vegetable oil, for deep fryingbuffalo-style hot saucepickle slices

Instructions

Combine all the ranch dip ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve the buffalo oyster mushrooms.Combine the batter ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Pour about half of the batter into another bowl and add the mushrooms into this and coat well. Let them sit in this for about 20 minutes.Only after the oyster mushrooms have sat in the batter for 20 minutes, heat up the oil. Heat it up to 355°F to 360°F in a deep pot. Use a deep frying thermometer to watch this closely. It shouldn’t go above 365°F.Combine the breading ingredients together in another large mixing bowl.Once the oil is at the right temperature, take a mushroom out of the batter and coat well in the breading.Then go back into the other bowl of batter that hasn’t had anything in it and coat well. Go back in the breading and coat well. Then add to the frying oil.Fry mushrooms in batches and it will take 2 to 3 minutes to get to a deep golden brown. Cook time will vary depending on the size of your mushrooms.Drain fried pieces over the pot with a slotted spoon and then place on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Do not use paper towels, as that could make the batter become soggy.To serve, drizzle buffalo-style hot sauce over the fried mushrooms and top with pickles. Serve immediately with ranch dip and enjoy!
