In a larger bowl, combine broth and tahini and whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Mix the dry ingredients with the wet and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Knead the dough until it is elastic but not dry. Sprinkle some additional gluten flour if you find you have made your dough too sticky.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small little burgers. Keep in mind they will grow to about twice their size, so make then smaller then you would normally.Place in casserole dish, covering them with vegetable broth.

Cook burgers in broth and onions for 1 hour at 350 degrees, flipping at 45 minutes.

Step 7

Step 9

Coat each “filet” with the flour mixture by shaking in the zip lock bag.

Step 10

Remove and dredge each filet in the egg mixture, coating well. Then return each filet to the flour/seasoning mixture. Shake to coat. Put filets in the freezer for half an hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining “egg” mixture.

Step 11

After freezing, repeat the “coating” process.

Step 12

Deep fry in a large pot of oil at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until light brown and crispy.

Step 13

Stir together well, refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 14

As the chicken is frying, toast the buns on one side only.

Step 15

On the crown side of the bun, apply 1 tablespoon of McChicken sauce mixture, followed by ¼ cup chopped iceberg lettuce. Then top with the cooked patty, and the heel of the bun.
