Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 head cauliflower

For the Buffalo Sauce

  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 serving comeback sauce - see link to recipe in Notes below

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the florets in half, then cut the halves in half to make fourths. Now cutting diagonally, cut the core out and begin breaking the florets off each other. It’s that easy!
  • In a large bowl toss together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk, and stir until well combined.
  • Pour the cauliflower onto the prepared cookie sheet evenly, making sure eat piece is coated with batter. Place in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce, oil, and honey until combined.
  • When the cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven and coat with the buffalo sauce. Place back into the oven for 20 more minutes. You'll know they are done when the cauliflower has a golden color to it and the house smells of buffalo chicken. Serve with comeback sauce - see link in Notes below.
