Preheat the oven to 220C/425F (fan) and line a large baking tray with a silicone mat or baking parchment.
Add the milk, water, flour, garlic salt, celery salt, paprika, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix it all together until no lumps remain, then add the cauliflower florets.
120 ml (1/2 cup) milk, 120 ml (1/2 cup) water, 90 g (2/3 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp celery salt, 1/2 tbsp paprika, ¼ tsp chilli flakes, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 1 head of cauliflower
Mix together to completely cover the florets. Use a slotted spoon to lift the florets out of the mixture, allowing the excess batter to drip off. Place the florets on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little room between each.
Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, turning once after 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools). Turn off the heat.
1 tsp vegetable oil, pinch salt and pepper, 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 4 tbsp brown sugar, 5 tbsp soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp lemon grass paste
Place the wings in a large bowl and very carefully pour over the sticky sauce (be careful, it will be VERY hot). Toss to combine, then serve topped with chopped spring onions (scallions) and chilli flakes.
2 tbsp chopped spring onions, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
