• Mash the chickpeas very well with a fork or use a food processor until there are no whole beans remaining.
• Add the vital wheat gluten, chickpeas, nutritional yeast, and seasonings to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir well until the chickpeas are evenly distributed. You may have to use your fingers to prevent them from clumping together.
• Add the broth and oil to the wheat gluten mixture and stir until a dough ball forms. Sprinkle some wheat gluten on the tabletop and knead the dough for 30 seconds or until everything comes together and the texture is just starting to smooth.
• Separate the dough into 6 sections. Shape each section into the shape of a chicken patty or a piece of chicken.
• Wrap each piece of "chicken" in a separate piece of foil. Place each piece into a steamer basket and steam for 30-40 minutes or until the "chicken" is no longer doughy.
• Prepare the chicken however you'd like. Battered and pan-fried, baked, or grilled.

For Grilled Vegan Chicken

• Season the vegan "chicken" patty with salt, pepper, and other seasonings of choice.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with cooking oil or 1 teaspoon of oil. Grill the "chicken" 3-4 minutes per side or until the outside is browned.
