This vegan twist on a southern classic will satisfy your tastebuds while supplying your body with filling nutrients! Whip up this addictive plant based dish as a mid-week treat for the whole family, during your next girls brunch gathering, or at your springtime Derby Party. The addition of sliced cucumber and carrot ketchup in this recipe perfectly compliments the overall fresh feel of this traditionally heavy and greasy meal (that would pair well with some bottomless mimosas 😉). LusOasis' mouthwatering Hot Chicken and Waffle recipe features their keto, gluten-free, and vegan Savory Chili Pancake and Waffle Mix as the base, which includes notes of tomato and cayenne for a savory yet spicy kick of flavor.

We love that LusOasis' entire line of mixes are all natural and only use whole foods for an even better taste that does not compromise on the health benefits. LusOasis Founder, Huan Xia, began her healthy food brand during the pandemic in an effort to create clean and tasty plant-based foods. Her MS and PhD in Food Science and background as a plant food advocate and influencer lead Huan to follower her inner calling to help people eat well and be well.

Pro tip: for those who enjoy an extra splash of spice, top this recipe with one of our phenomenal small batch vegan hot sauces! Vargo Brother Ferments' Calabaza Habanero Hot Sauce is an everyday sauce made with fermented calabaza pumpkin, sweet potato, and fragrant Chinese 5 Spice for the perfect spicy, but not too spicy, addition to literally any meal. We also cannot get enough of Super Sauce Hot Sauce, a universally pleasing hot sauce made with their special chili blend and a hint of umami flavor. You will love adding this to all our egg dishes, homemade wraps, and, of course, buffalo wings.

Directions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup waffle mix with 1/2 cup water or nut milk, and 1.5 Tbsp oil (olive or coconut preferred). Cook over medium heat on a preheated waffle iron until edges are dry and crispy.

2. This yields 4 crunchy pieces of 4” waffles to enjoy. If your waffle maker produces a whole round waffle, you may need to cut them into 4 pieces for making waffle sliders or waffle snacks.

3. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place frozen tenders on a baking sheet and heat for 12-14 minutes, turn tenders over halfway through heating time.

4. Place 2 pieces of 4” Savory Chili waffles side by side on a plate.

5. Put one piece of chicken tender on top of each waffle and add a pinch of Nashville Hot Chicken Seasoning.

6. Place 2 thin slices of fresh cucumber on each tender, add 1 tsp vegan mayonnaise, and 1 tsp carrot ketchup.

7. Cut 1 slice of vegan cheese into half, slightly melt it in a griddle, and add each half slice on top of the seasoned cucumber slices.

8. Cover each of the delicious assembly with another 4” waffle piece, add thyme leave tip, and 1/2 tsp shredded vegan cheese on the top. Serve up to your guests!
