Copycat Dave's Hot Chicken Cauliflower Sliders

 Dave’s Hot Chicken has been on a roll since its humble beginnings as a parking lot pop-up in Los Angeles. With its signature Nashville-style hot chicken, cult-like following, and celebrity investors like Usher, Samuel L. Jackson, and Maria Shriver, it’s no wonder they now boast over 100 locations across 4 countries. A few years into their meteoric rise, they debuted a vegetarian option, swapping out the chicken for cauliflower. Dubbed “Dave’s Not Chicken,” this dish offers all the bold flavors and textures of their classic hot chicken—minus the meat. If you don’t live near a Dave’s or simply want to re-create the experience at home, this recipe is your answer.
