Guilt-free Buffalo “Chicken”
If you know me by now, you know that I will try anything {buffalo chicken}.
Buffalo Chicken brownies?
Buff Chix Smoothie?
Chocolate chip cookies?
I kid, but you catch my drift.
What I am NOT kidding about are these Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings” which were probably first pinned from PETA’s website here.
I chose to follow skinnytaste.com’s version here with my own teeny tiny twist.
I followed Gina’s directions to a “t”, but used about 1 tsp. unsalted butter and 2 tsp. coconut oil instead of 1 tbsp. butter. I am just now getting around to jumping on the coconut oil bandwagon…can you believe it? If you know be my now, you also know that I love all things coconut.
Um, these were amazing. I could’ve eaten the whole pan. To be honest, you don’t even need to dip them in ranch or blue cheese. They are perfect alone.
I didn’t have any celery on-hand so I served with some cucumber slices and just a tad bit of ranch.
Oh, and this is the only buffalo sauce that I use…
*****
Once in awhile I love to go to Hooter’s or Chili’s for boneless buffalo wings and an ice cold beer. These cauliflower bites just might take away the craving and are certainly more guilt-free ~ both in my eyes and in PETA’s eyes.
If you, too, love all things buff chix, you MUST give these a try.
Linking up again with sweet Jess and her monthly PinterTest Kitchen!

Dave would die over these. I think I’ll be a nice wife and make them for him. They look so good!!
