VEGAN PULLED CHICKEN INGREDIENTS:
Below are notes about the main ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make this easy vegan dinner recipe:
- Vegan chicken – for these photos we used Daring brand, but you can use your favorite vegan chicken brand
- Seasonings – we are using a combination of brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, dry mustard, chili powder, and black pepper for the ultimate
- BBQ Sauce – we love our homemade vegan bbq sauce for even more ultimate flavor for this recipe
Substitutions and Variations:
- Vegan chicken – you can use jackfruit, oyster mushrooms, soy curls for this recipe as well
- Seasonings – you could use an all-purpose BBQ seasoning blend if you wanted to use that instead
- BBQ Sauce – any store bought brand will work or you can switch up the sauce completely to make other flavors
Yes! Use a top 8 free bbq sauce and buns. For the “chicken” we’d recommend jackfruit or mushrooms (or something else similar)
Yes! This is best served the same day; however, it can be reheated up to 5 days later.
We highly recommend using our homemade vegan BBQ sauce; however, you can use whatever your favorite sauce is! You could even switch it up with other sauces as well.
Yes! However, you should cook on low heat with a lid for 25-30 minutes. You will also want to increase the amount of bbq sauce to 1 full cup. The texture will not be as good as the instant pot method, but still delicious.
