I am absolutely not vegan or vegetarian but omg I love buffalo cauliflower so much. I crave chicken wings at time, and other times I just really crave buffalo cauliflower. I don' think buffalo cauliflower is a vegetarian substitute for buffalo wings. they're just their own thing and they are delicious
Cauli 'wings' are so good. I would make one teeny tiny change to this. You cut your cauliflower through the florets which creates those little bits of debris. I usually stick to the paring knife and just cut the florets off the central stalk. It creates cleaner florets that look more like little drumets and no debris...it does take about 4 times as long though. So, you win for timing.
I’m the same way, I love vegetables but 9/10 don’t like when people try to make them into meat. I am a huge fan of cauliflower wings however and will definitely be trying this!
We're not vegetarian or vegan but I'd really like to start experimenting with more meatless dishes and these "wings" seem like a great place to start. Thanks Bri!
As a vegetarian who loves your videos and the recipes you feature, I greatly appreciate this episode. I agree 100%, vegetables aren't better just because they are in "meat" forms. I love a recipe where there is no intent in hiding what you're cooking
Wanted to be first.... but some guys were faster. I typically pickle cauliflower, but maaaaaan. This would be a banger. Going back to watch the whole vid now.
I've always said I enjoyed buffalo cauliflower for its own attributes, I was never trying to compare it to chicken or to fool my taste buds. Both are good and could/ should be served beside each other. Awesome video as always!
This is my philosophy for most vegan/vegetarian foods :) I don't necessarily care how much it tastes like meat or how well it imitates something, I just want it to be good on its own!
Just did these like 1 hour ago and yesterday aswell. I actually think that you should skip the dredging in flour before you dip them in the buttermilk mix. Yes, you get a more even coating if you dredge before, but I felt it tasted better when it was not coated (less doughy flavor/more cauli). Seeing some browning on the cauliflower is tastier imho.
Pro-tip, cauliflower and broccoli are best cut at the stem and torn away from the bottom, both from the stalk and when separating the florets. THAT results in the least wastage and crumbly bits falling off.
One of my favorite snacks is baked buffalo cauliflower. It's a little quicker but without any breading or deep frying it's no doubt less delicious. Thanks again for the video.
Brian knows his fried stuff. @4:30, In the batter/breading industry, adding that moisture is called "Seeding". We seed breading to get more texture on product and make it look more homestyle. Ideal seeding is almost like making a pie crust. You can add the wet to the dry and rub it between your hands like washing your hands with flour. It's ready when you can grip it in a fist and it holds it's shape but crumbles easily.
Geez, last time I checked Brian had just a few thousand followers. I was disappointed he wasn’t catching on. One of the best food vid makers in the US, West, heck, even the world! Going to adapt this recipe for tacos. I made a version of buffalo wing cauliflower with a jalapeño slaw and garlic-crema sauce for tacos. But my cauliflower recipe definitely needed an upgrade. I used a tempura batter, but I think the batter he made would work better. Kudos again, Brian. I see I have a lot of vids to catch up on. Doing a Detroit pizza today using a mix of your recipe and Serious Eats.
This is a great recipe for cauliflower wings! One of the best on RUclips! I don’t like the ones where there’s so much breading, so this is prefect and the pickling step is a game changer! Woot!
Man, you just keep coming out with some really fun recipes and add some nice twists I haven't seen before! I thought I already knew my favorite youtube cooks but I've found myself making several of your recipes the last few months. Also, haven't seen anyone use worscheshire and garlic in their buffalo sauce and that just sounds perfect.
I wanna say, “I just FOUND YOU” and I can not stop watching your videos! Love the way you explain, your simplicity, clearness and sense of humor. Enjoying the process WHILE anxiously waiting on that last dance at the end. 🕺🏻 🪩 🎶🤭😅 Keep it up!
Along the same line of thought as this video; the first time I had Gobi Manchurian I almost didn't believe it was cauliflower. I love the texture when it's made right.
Buffalo-breaded fried cauliflower was always the most popular thing that the cafeteria served at my old job. Such a giant agita bomb, but so addictive. Guaranteed to finish your 12-hour shift with gastritis, but so worth it. If a hospital can make these taste good, so can you (or you can just find the same frozen stuff they use if yours sucks).
Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have pretty much watched all the vids... love 'em! Would love to see a whole wheat bread vid... and also an aglio y olio vid (maybe even with a couple other variations, too). I've been trying both and just can't get 'em quite right. Wife's been making your donuts, apple fritters, and cheesecakes so thank you for that!
Instead of using a spoon to keep your hands dry use the technique where you have one hand used for dry and the other used for wet, take dry stuff toss it into batter wet hand coats it then tosses it back etc. btw I love your videos keep it up!
I watched this right before bed… and now I am so hungry… and mad! I know I will be up all night thinking about that damn delicious cauliflower. Wow it looked so good. Must make this asap. Great work!
I'll definitely make these as they look delicious. Just a note for any vegetarians/vegans. Worcestershire sauce isn't vegetarian as it contains anchovies. I'd personally substitute with a bit of soy sauce.
Gerber Sandwich please! So hungry... Native St. Louisan (Eureka) but I don't live in St. Louis anymore, so no provel. :-( Tip: Your Provel blend is very close, but if you mix it with an additional equal portion of white american cheese (from the deli) it's nearly exact. The deli american is basically pasteurized process white cheddar and swiss, so it fits in flavor-wise and melts/sticks just like provel. And it's available everywhere in the US.
I do this but let's level up this American stuff to something a bit hotter and more delicious let's go Indian and I'm telling you it makes this look rather ordinary.. Indian spices, ginger and garlic,Indian hot sauce with coriander leaf and that smokey taste of ghee..Honestly you have no idea 🙂
Brian is right about the Xanthan gum. A TINY amount is necessary. One time I was making a sauce and misread a 1/4 teaspoon for 1/2 TABLESPOON. What I was left with was unusable. It was a thick, viscous gel. It was no longer saucy in any respect. Xanthan gum is the king of thickeners, and you would be wise to tread with caution when using it. You will never use more than a teaspoon, and even a teaspoon is overly excessive in many cases.
I’m in a part of the world where I can’t get my hands on buttermilk. Has anyone tried this with “the milk (+) lemon juice trick that’s supposed to be a sub? TIA
The frozen ones are surprisingly really good so I am pretty sure these are going to be amazing. Debating on making these soon as we don't normally deep fry but pretty sure we're going to do it anyway.
I like this better than chicken wings. I'm weird and only like chicken cold/leftover/next day unless it's a whole roasted chicken but I even eat that cold.

What is a good substitute to the "hot sauce"? We don't have anything named this way where I live, so wondering how to make the substitute for the buffalo sauce
These are the best cauliflower wings I've ever made. These are the only time I was able to get them as crispy as restaurants get them. They are a little more work. But honestly so worth the effort.
I haven't messed with an air fryer yet so i'm not sure. i'd be concerned that you couldn't get the comically crispy exterior, but if you try it let me know how they turn out.
Brian, it's really brilliant. Thank you so much. You just return me to life today. Bst regards from Manchester, from Kyiv lady, born in Lugansk... Going to bake it right now ✊🇺🇦

I agree, "cauliflower wings" aren't trying to be chicken, they're just tasty fried battered cauliflower
Who cares what people do, if you're vegetarian doesn't mean you don't want to replicate something. It's not that big a deal
So, no tofurkey then? lol...
@@connormorse9191 we are all allowed our own food opinions and I gave mine. It’s not that deep bud
We're not vegetarian or vegan but I'd really like to start experimenting with more meatless dishes and these "wings" seem like a great place to start. Thanks Bri!
Every veggie recipe of yours is a big W. Thank you chef!
Thanks A!
Those hit so hard I consider it assault
I’m slowly converting to measurements by weight… 😂

This looks great. You always give good instructions. Plus you provide some additional tricks to make everything better. :)
Thanks Candy!
I admire your creative ideas and thinking.👍👍👍👍👍 you are the best👌👌👌❤❤❤🥰🥰

Wow, those are a dead ringer for Panda Orange Chicken. Also, how about a video showing things you can make with leftover dredge flour?
Now that, I would eat.
I have a vegetarian child, we’ve tried these but I’m def adding the pickling step asap. Looks so good!

Thanks for convincing me that cauliflower hot wings are not unholy. How about a buffalo tofu tutorial?
*I would have thought that these were chicken wings, I had never heard of cauliflower ones, but the idea is great and I intend to cook them!*
>Me thinking I am going to make this for my vegan friend
>Buttermilk is dairy
>Fuck
Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sure missing my Scottish life. I lived in Fife and loved it so much there.
Anyone have tips on what to sub the buttermilk and butter with to successfully make these vegan?
If Franks isn't enough for you, they do make a Frank's Xtra Hot which has the same classic Buffalo flavor profile, but spicier.
Vegan please learn asian cooking to make delicious vegan food without pretend meats
One of my favorite snacks is baked buffalo cauliflower. It's a little quicker but without any breading or deep frying it's no doubt less delicious. Thanks again for the video.
Everything you make tastes delicious and I have become a much better cook, thanks in part to you! I'm making this for sure!

What could i use to replace buttermilk to make it vegan?

Thanks man. Let me know how they turn out.
Is it possible to replace the cauliflower with broccoli?
I've had an insatiable wing craving lately, thank you for this video! 🍗

Cauliflower is my favorite tempura veg when I get Thia food, so I know this buffalo version has to be great!
Along the same line of thought as this video; the first time I had Gobi Manchurian I almost didn't believe it was cauliflower. I love the texture when it's made right.
Cauliflower is so underrated, Cauliflower wings and Cauliflower hashbrowns are beautiful.
Buffalo-breaded fried cauliflower was always the most popular thing that the cafeteria served at my old job. Such a giant agita bomb, but so addictive.

This looks delicious. A nice alternative to chicken wings, especially around Super Bowl time when the price of wings goes sky high. Really DOPE, dude.

There are some vegan ones out there- i know Australia has a few
You have to love deep fried. Thanks for the pro tips on doing something simple, but elevated in flavor.
I looooved this recipe. First recipe I do from your you channel and it was a hit ❤️
I swear the best part of these videos is watching Brian dancing around at the end living his best life. 👌🏻

Curry Cauliflower next? I know a lot of people who aren't fans of Curry, but I like the stuff
I do this but let's level up this American stuff to something a bit hotter and more delicious let's go Indian and I'm telling you it makes this look rather ordinary.. Indian spices, ginger and garlic,Indian hot sauce with coriander leaf and that smokey taste of ghee..Honestly you have no idea 🙂

The Indian restaurant in my neighborhood serves a General Tso's(ish) fried cauliflower. It's amazing.
YUP... This one is one of my FAVS, Bri... Gratz, dude.!.!.!.!
I’m in a part of the world where I can’t get my hands on buttermilk. Has anyone tried this with “the milk (+) lemon juice trick that’s supposed to be a sub? TIA

Worc. sauce contains anchovies, so not vegetarian.... aagh so close... probably substitute soy sauce instead?
@Brian Langstrom, what flour other than white flour and rice flour can be used? Would almond flour work?
What is this??? That, sir, is a healthy vegetable!! Oh... I CAN FIX IT.
"Pickly-liquid" is now my new favourite thing to say... I might name my daughter this 🤔
I like this better than chicken wings. I'm weird and only like chicken cold/leftover/next day unless it's a whole roasted chicken but I even eat that cold.
This is a great recipe because you can add whatever flavours you prefer. Thank you. 😋
AND IT HAS NO BONES!
Yep... we call this "gobi manchurian" here in India. It is a standard part of Indianized "chinese" cuisine.

What is a good substitute to the "hot sauce"? We don't have anything named this way where I live, so wondering how to make the substitute for the buffalo sauce
Cruciperous flavor?! How many years have you waited to use THAT word?
pro-tip: xanthan gum desolves better in oil than in water, so always dissolve in oil before mixing into a sauce.
Made these tonight. Wow, they are good. I didn't even make the Buffalo sauce. I thought they were awesome right there
Really well conceived lesson! Anybody could make this dish, especially anyone hesitant to try deep frying. Thank you!
Can one skip the rice flour and double with AP (and sub milk for buttermilk)?
Great idea as chicken has become expensive this allows a healthier version and still gives you a chicken wings craving substitute
These are the best cauliflower wings I've ever made. These are the only time I was able to get them as crispy as restaurants get them. They are a little more work. But honestly so worth the effort.
Looks delicious. Next maybe Gobi manchurian?
If you parcook the cauliflower whole than you want have any crumbly bits
I happen to be a vegetarian and this is what I do instead of chicken. I also do either Barbecue or honey garlic for the saucing.
I was waiting for you to call them c wings, but oh well haha! These look so good, I’ll have to try them soon
I wonder how these would work in an air fryer
like vegetarian I didn't know this recipe, now I need to try right now. btw your long hair look so nice
Hey Bri, what would happen if you baked the caui instead of frying it?
Just curious how you clean up after frying a batch of these? What do you do with all that leftover oil?
Looks incredible! Is there an alternate to the buttermilk to make this vegan??
Most of the time I've seen this its been for keto, and flour kind of defeats that purpose. Look good though
I'm a GV brand Louisiana hot sauce guy myself
I make these in my air fryer. Just slightly spray them with oil and bam!
could you air fry these?
I haven't messed with an air fryer yet so i'm not sure. i'd be concerned that you couldn't get the comically crispy exterior, but if you try it let me know how they turn out.
In Europe we eat that with potatoes and tartar sauce as a full meal, except we dont coat them in buffalo sauce 😄
Do you think reg flour can be replaced with a gluten free flour?
It serves 1 person. the other 5-7 will be attempting to stop me from eating them all.
Hey Bri how come you din't wash your cauli? 🤔🤔
Love this. Thank you! How do you and the Mrs. stay so thin???
How important is the rice flour? Can I use all AP?
Hey Brian, can you give some tips on frying this cauli in air fryer..
Getting flashbacks of Gobi Manchurian.
Brian, it's really brilliant. Thank you so much. You just return me to life today. Bst regards from Manchester, from Kyiv lady, born in Lugansk... Going to bake it right now ✊🇺🇦
Absolutely will make these! thanksssss! Brian, PLEAAAASE make dumplings sometime!!!!!
This recipe looks like a great reason to wet some drys, dry some wets, wet some drys and dry some wets! :D
Deep fried cauli is good without augmentation.
i forget you live in stl and then i saw the schnucks receipts lol
How do you keep the oil from spattering out of the pan? Look good
