Method
Combine the oat milk and hot sauce in a large bowl, add the seitan pieces, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and salt together in a wide bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy pot to 170°C.
Lift each piece of seitan from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour.
Fry the seitan in batches for 8 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until deeply golden and crisp.
Drain the fried seitan on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
