Ingredients

• 1 block of extra-firm tofu
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• Celery sticks, for serving
• Ranch dressing, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Press the tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object, such as a cutting board or a cast-iron skillet, on top of the tofu to press out the excess water. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
3. After pressing, unwrap the tofu and cut it into bite-sized pieces, resembling chicken wings.
4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5. Toss the tofu in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated.
6. Arrange the coated tofu pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
7. Bake the tofu for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
8. While the tofu is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce, melted butter, and honey (if using).
9. Remove the tofu from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10. Toss the baked tofu wings in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
11. Serve the buffalo tofu wings hot, with celery sticks and ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
