Too spicy! I couldn’t eat them. Maybe I shoulda used less hot sauce or somethin’. Not for kids at all!
These were AMAZING! So crispy and full of flavor. I’m definitely making them again!
I was skeptical at first, but wow! They tasted just like chicken wings. I might convert some non-vegans with this!
Could be better. They turned out soggy for me. Maybe I didn’t bake long enough? IDK.
Yum! I added some extra spices to the batter. Made the flavor pop! 🤤
