This is what happens when your inner child and your inner foodie team up for Stampede.
Welcome back to 10 Days of Vegan Stampede, an annual feature whereby I veganize some of the wacky and wonderful midway foods at the Calgary Stampede. But why you ask? The answer can be found back at Day 1 – [HERE]. Miss yesterday’s post? Find it [HERE].
Onward to day 6!
Day 6: PB & J Chickun Bites
I don’t think I’ve ever had grape jelly or jam before now – this was some introduction!
The inspiration for this dish is the PB & Jammin Chicken at Calgary Stampede. The original is grape jelly glaze chicken topped with peanut satay sauce & crushed peanuts served in a waffle bowl.
My vegan version uses a vegan popcorn-style chicken, tossed of course in a grape jelly glaze, drizzled with peanut sauce and topped with scallions and chopped peanuts. I also served mine in a waffle bowl.
Peanut butter and jelly are a classic combination, so perhaps it should be no surprise that these PB & J Chickun Bites are incredible. They are sweet, savory, and according to one roommate, “the perfect hangover food”. High praise indeed!
Don’t sleep on these PB & J Chickun Bites – you’ll be shocked by how much you like them.
