I’m sure most people by now have seen the seitan chickn’ (currently known as tiktok chicken) making its way round the internet.
In basic terms, it’s just flour and water….
I’ve known of seitan for a while and i’m even in the seitan appreciation society facebook group but I only got the courage to try it after I saw how easy that viral video made it look.
First attempt was an absolute fail, it tasted like a dense chewy floured mess, (turns out I hadn’t washed it enough) but I was determined to make it work.
So I did my research, watched many videos, blog posts, and this is what I got.
I did the WTF method, known as “Wash The Flour”. I will be going over the seitan making process in another blog post soon because I want to make sure it’s in depth with lots of details and pictures.
For now I wanted to share the end product using the seitan chickn’, BBQ chickn’ fajitas with homemade tortilla wraps.
