Vegan Chicken: What Our Chick'n Is Made Of
Vegan Chicken, the Seitan Way
Vegan Chicken, the Seitan Way
Every 'chick'n' on our menu is seitan — marinated, baked and shredded in our kitchen. Here is what that actually means.
Vegan Chicken: What Our Chick'n Is Made Of
"Vegan chicken" covers a lot of products, most of them extruded in a factory. Ours is seitan — wheat gluten — made the traditional way: marinated, baked, then shredded so it carries the marinade all the way through. It is why the shawarma eats like a shawarma.
Order the chick'n dishes — from $11.95 to $12.95, delivered chilled. Minimum order $79.
What seitan is
Seitan is wheat gluten — the protein component of wheat, with the starch washed away. It has been used in East Asian cooking for centuries. Texturally it is the closest plant protein to shredded meat, and it carries marinades well, which is exactly what a shawarma or a peri peri needs. It is not suitable if you avoid gluten: seitan is wheat gluten by definition. How it compares with TVP and the other plant-based meats is in seitan and TVP, explained.

Why it carries so much protein
Gluten is nearly all protein, which is how a single dish reaches 43.7g of plant protein without a supplement in sight. Eleven of the 35 dishes on the menu carry 28g or more — the full table is on the high-protein page.

Vegan chicken — FAQ
What is vegan chicken made of?
Ours is seitan — wheat gluten, marinated, baked and shredded in our kitchen. Some brands use soy or pea protein instead; the menu lists every dish's ingredients on its product page.
Does vegan chicken taste like chicken?
Seitan's texture is close to shredded meat and it carries marinades the same way. We would rather you judge the dish than the imitation — the shawarma stands on its own.
Is seitan suitable if I avoid gluten?
No — seitan is wheat gluten by definition. Our meals are prepared in a kitchen that handles wheat gluten, peanuts, soy, sesame and other allergens, and cross-contamination cannot be excluded.
