Instructions

Step 1

Whisk the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chicken seasoning or salt and black pepper together, then add the water. Add the florets and stir to coat, pressing into the crevices of the cauliflower. Then roll in Panko. Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the prepared florets in a single layer. Fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes shaking halfway through. You may need to do the cooking in two batches. Once done mix the hot sauce and melted butter together and toss with the cauliflower to coat. You may want to make a second batch of sauce if you really want them dripping with it. Serve as is or with ranch dressing on the side.
