Directions

  1. 1Cover dried soy skin/tofu skin in boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften.
  2. 2Prepare a broth with no-chicken bouillon cubes, mushroom seasoning, nutritional yeast, and poultry seasoning. Bring it to a boil.
  3. 3Once the tofu skin is soft, add it to the boiling broth.
  4. 4Mix 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
  5. 5Add the slurry to the cooked tofu skin and mix to help it stick together.
  6. 6Take each piece of softened tofu skin and wrap it around wooden faux bones to create drumstick shapes.
  7. 7Wet rice paper in the same broth used for the tofu skin.
  8. 8Wrap each tofu drumstick with the wet rice paper to create a "chicken skin" and hold the shape.
  9. 9Prepare a batter using cornstarch, flour, water, and KFC seasoning.
  10. 10Dip each drumstick into the batter.
  11. 11Coat the battered drumsticks in a dry mixture (likely flour or cornstarch, as shown).
