“I can’t believe it’s not Chicken” and Waffles {vegan}

Who doesn’t love Chicken and Waffles?! Even if you’re not from or currently living in the South, I’m  sure you’ve had them. A classic. I usually don’t miss anything from my pre-vegan days or crave meat, but there’s just something about chicken and waffles! Truth be told, I’ve never even had a true dish of real chicken and waffles, but I imagine I’d like my version better anyways. In this recipe I used cauliflower (seriously, what CAN’T cauliflower do), gluten-free chips, and Sriracha to spice things up.
