We air fried these wings but you don't have to. You can bake or deep fry them whichever you prefer. I try to use the air fryer as much as possible because I like to set it and forget it. Nothing is more satisfying than coming back to perfectly air fried food. We used a fairly small to medium sized cauliflower head but if you are using a large one you may need to make a double batch of batter.
