Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the super firm tofu into 18 even sticks for the 'wing' shape. Prepare your dredging station with cornstarch, non-dairy milk, and seasoned panko bread crumbs.
  3. Dredge each tofu stick in the cornstarch mixture, then dip in non-dairy milk, followed by the panko bread crumbs.
  4. Place the coated tofu wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, toss the wings in your chosen hot sauce until well-coated.
  6. Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for another 20 minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Serve immediately while hot with celery sticks and creamy vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

Press tofu to eliminate excess moisture. Season generously to maximize flavor. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Store cooked wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
