Ingredients
  

Batter

  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened plain milk I used soy
  • ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs sub Panko or GF if desired

Buffalo Sauce

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Press tofu ahead of time wrapped in a dish towel to remove all excess liquid.
  • Cut tofu equal sized pieces. I cut mine into about 16.
  • Set out 3 shallow bowls. In the first bowl add cornstarch, the second - milk and the third, breadcrumbs.
  • Toss each piece of tofu first into the cornstarch and coat fully, then into the milk, then toss to coat with breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  • Placed coated wings directly onto the air fryer rack. Cook in the air fryer at 390° for 8 minutes, flipping half way through at the 4-minute mark.
  • If you want to bake these in the oven instead - see notes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the buffalo sauce. Melt the vegan butter, then add in the franks buffalo hot sauce and stir together.

Finishing Touches

  • Remove cooked tofu from the air fryer and coat each piece entirely with the buffalo sauce.
  • Serve with vegan ranch, or vegan bleu cheese dressing. These are delicious on salads, and wraps as well. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still make these tofu wings in the oven. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake them at 425° for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Make sure the tofu wings are nice and crispy before removing them from the oven. Once they are crispy, coat them in the buffalo sauce and serve.
