The trend which sees cauliflower transformed into vegan chicken wings has been doing the rounds online for some time. Naturally, I had to give it a go. Making chicken wings out of cauliflower florets requires a good batter and a spicy marinade. The "wings" are then cooked in two stages and the result is simply delicious. Whether or not they actually resemble the real thing is not for me to say (the last time I ate chicken was over six years ago), however the cooking process almost completely eliminates the taste of cauliflower.
