Notes
Heads of cauliflower vary in size. I've seen some HUGE cauliflowers. I would say I used a medium size head for this recipe. Make more batter, if necessary.
I like to use Frank's WING sauce and not regular hot sauce. Others have reported success with various other barbecue sauces.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer.
