Buffalo sauce is one of my favorite sauces. I love the creamy spiciness of it. If you love buffalo sauce like me, then you need this Vegan Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Oyster Mushrooms.
This sandwich uses oyster mushrooms as a chicken substitute. Does it taste exactly like chicken? No, but it does offer a delicious "meaty" taste. The buffalo sauce is made creamy with tahini. Overall this sandwich is so good and I am obsessed with it.

This was amazing! Cooked it in my cast iron for extra crisp. I put it in wrap and it tasted like grilled chicken. Definitely making oyster mushrooms like this again.
