Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.
Gently place the battered florets into the hot oil and fry in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove fried florets with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat and stir in buffalo wing sauce until well combined.
Toss the fried cauliflower wings in the buffalo sauce until completely coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
