Ingredients
  

For the Tofu Coating
  • 1 block Super Firm Tofu Ensures a sturdy base for crispy wings; press well to remove excess moisture.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk Acts as the binding agent; swap with any favorite plant-based milk.
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs Delivers a delightful crunch; use gluten-free panko for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning Infuses herbal notes into the breading for added flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Corn Starch or Arrowroot Flour Helps achieve a super crispy texture on the tofu coating.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a savory punch to the wings.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Deepens the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Introduces a bit of heat and spice.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce The star ingredient for that classic buffalo flavor; adjust according to your spice tolerance.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the super firm tofu to remove excess moisture.
  2. Slice the tofu into 18 sticks, cutting width-wise into three sections and then length-wise.
  3. Prepare your breading station with three shallow bowls: one for cornstarch mixture, one for non-dairy milk, and one for panko breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning.
  4. Dredge each tofu stick in the cornstarch mixture, dip in non-dairy milk, and coat with the panko breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Arrange the breaded tofu sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Toss the baked tofu sticks in buffalo sauce, then return to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  7. Allow the wings to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with celery sticks and vegan ranch.
