    BBQ wings and ranch dip are quintessential as party food, whether you’re enjoying the football game or having a beer with friends.  This is a great way to enjoy them in a healthy way while keeping little chickens everywhere safe and happy.  I’m also sharing with you my recipe for vegan ranch dip, which is great to dip your wings in or serve with a side of carrot sticks and celery.

    FAQS

    Can I change the BBQ sauce for another kind?

    Yes, you could make a hot sauce, garlic ranch, or even curry sauce instead.  Once you know how to make the wings themselves, any flavor combinations are possible.

    Are BBQ Cauliflower Wings good?

    Yes much better than the chicken wings! There is no cholesterol in cauliflower and they are low in fat and saturated fat. Plus cauliflower is packed with fiber and antioxidants!
