Ingredients
Method
- Preheat Oven: Set to 400°F (200°C) because perfection deserves the right temperature.
- Prep the “Chicken”: Toss seitan or tofu with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk Dijon, maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, and garlic until glossy and smooth.
- Cook the Protein: Heat a skillet and sear seitan or tofu for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
- Glaze & Bake: Pour sauce over the pieces, toss well, and bake for 15 minutes until the glaze caramelizes beautifully.
- Thicken Sauce: For extra stickiness, heat leftover sauce with cornstarch slurry until thick and shiny.
- Serve & Slay: Drizzle sauce, sprinkle parsley, and add lemon wedges for that extra flair.
