Cut cauliflower into florets, about the size of a chicken nugget (approximately 1 inch long by 1 inch wide).

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Add 1 cup of milk (or milk alternative) to the dry mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth and thick.

Dump the cauliflower florets into the batter and mix until all pieces are coated.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.

Transfer the cauliflower pieces into the air fryer basket, ensuring they have space between them for even cooking.

Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook for 10-12 minutes, checking for crispiness at the 10-minute mark.

While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing 3/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot and 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a bowl.

After 10 minutes, shake the basket to ensure even cooking and return it to the air fryer for the remaining time if needed.

Once cooked, toss the crispy cauliflower in the hot sauce mixture until evenly coated.
