This is hands down one of the best dishes I make, and I make a lot of food. Reminiscent of your favorite sweet/spicy dish from any Asian or Thai restaurant, this might actually be better than that (and definitely healthier).

I watched Michael Symon make this on TV the other day (RIP The Chew) and couldn’t stop my mouth from salivating all over my computer. I decided it was the perfect Saturday meal for my meat-loving husband. I was right.

I first saw this recipe on The Chew (I can’t believe it’s being canceled!). Clinton Kelly’s version, however, was made with cream and dumplings and although delicious (I tried that tantalizing method first), this tastes just as good and is way healthier.

When my mom made these for Super Bowl, I honestly didn't know if I was going to like them. I've never eaten a chicken wing in my entire life (and have no desire to do so - too labor intensive), and I am so over the cauliflower craze. That being said, I could not stop eating every. last. bite. The great thing about these is that you don't have to be vegetarian to love them (although any vegetarians in the room will be thrilled). You can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs and you've got the least gluten free-y, veggie dish I've ever tried. You would never know this was (sort of) healthy. Make for a party, nosh on it at home, or place it in front of you while watching TV. This is a crowd pleaser - even if the crowd is just you.
