Whatever you do, steam it before frying - like many other mushrooms this one absorbs a lot of oil if the cell walls are intact. And don't discard cooking water. I like to steam in a pan, let the water evaporate, to contain all flavor on the pan. Then fry.

If it tickles your fancy, you might ferment a pound or two. Just clean, cook for 10 minutes (might not be needed, but safer), rip to pieces, add whatever (chopped onions, garlic,...) weigh it, add 2% of weight in salt, spices and put in fermenting jar. you might need extra fluids, e.g. a blended apple.

Ferment it at room temp for a week and watch for activity. if all went well and there is not mold, only sour fermentation smell it's time for smaller containers and the fridge.

Oh, I see you already checked that off. Good.
Next you make the biggest, nay, greatest vegan pulled chicken burger you've ever tasted.

Its a lovely beast. I'd portion it out over some risotto or make the best mushroom soup ive ever had:

The above is the most savory, creamy soup I've ever made, and it came out so good with run of the mill white mushrooms. I'd imagine it would be mind bending with something like the above.

Bread it and des/airfry/bake the nuggets.
Freeze the rest and cook from frozen, whenever you want some.

At the Minnesota State Fair, I encountered a booth selling "Shroomy Calamari" - by which they meant chunks of oyster mushroom, breaded and flash-fried.

Do that with the chicken of the woods and serve it as "mushroom fried chicken" ?

Nicely replaces chicken in any chicken dish. Slice up and sautee until it's all the same color. Blanch & freeze for long term storage.
