Tofu Buffalo Wings Recipe

• 14 oz extra firm Tofu (drained and pressed)
• 1 tbsp Hot Sauce (to taste)
• ½ cup Barbecue Sauce
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper
• ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Cayenne
• ½ tsp Paprika
• 4 tbsp Olive Oil

• Drain the tofu and press between paper towels to squeeze out the maximum water possible.
• Cut into bit-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together hot sauce, barbecue sauce, black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Pour half the sauce mixture over tofu, reserving the half for later use. Mix well.
• Refrigerate the tofu for at least 30 minutes.
• Just before cooking, drain the excess marinade from tofu and mix it with the reserved sauce.
• Place the tofu in the freezer for 30 minutes to give the tofu a heavier texture.
• Take a mixing bowl and mix together flour, salt, cayenne and paprika.
• Coat the tofu pieces with flour mixture and refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Reserve the leftover flour mixture for further use.
• Place a large frying pan on medium-high heat and heat olive oil.
• Coat the tofu pieces in the remaining flour mixture and fry in the oil till they turn golden brown and the oil has cooked out.
• Add the reserved sauce to the pan stirring tofu until it is well coated with the sauce.
• Remove and serve hot with ranch or bleu cheese dressing as a dip.
