        I used 1/4 cup of honey in this BBQ sauce. Sorry it wasn't in the recipe card. I'm correcting it now. Hope you Enjoy 🙂

      Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables. I buy it almost every week and it also helps that it has bee quite inexpensive this season. I haven't tried cauliflower pizza crust yet so it's next on my list and I love the idea of cauliflower bbq wings. So I see a lot of cauliflower dishes in my near future:).
