Lizzo Shared Her Vegan Copycat McDonald’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich Recipe on TikTok
What happens when Lizzo creates her vegan take on McDonald’s famous McChicken sandwich? She shares it on TikTok, of course! In front of fans, the pop superstar jazzed up the Mickey D’s classic—a yawn of a creation consisting of a crispy chicken patty, mayo, and lettuce—with some Frank’s RedHot seasoning, garlic, and vegan mayonnaise after subbing the meat patty with vegan nuggets. She added toasted bread, that standby iceberg lettuce, and some sweet potato waffle fries on the side, giving the golden arches a little plant-based competition with her Vegan Spicy McChicken.
With many brands posting recipes to some of their top sellers, quarantine is the time to get a little creative in the kitchen. Be sure to tag us at #vegoutlosangeles when you show off your copycat skillz online.
