Easy Buffalo Cauliflower is baked - not fried - and delivers all of the flavor of fried buffalo chicken wings in a lighter, but equally tasty appetizer or main dish!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
Stir together flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir in milk.
Dip cauliflower in the milk mixture, turning to coat completely, shake off excess and arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, use a fork to turn over cauliflower pieces, and bake another 10 minutes.
While cauliflower is baking, combine buffalo wing sauce, butter, and honey in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Brush buffalo sauce all over the baked cauliflower, bake another 10 minutes (I like to broil it for the last 2-3 minutes).
Serve fresh with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
