Notes
I like Franks Wing Sauce, but use whatever brand you like.
Its important to rip the tofu for this recipe- don't cut it with a knife! The jagged edges will make the tofu more crispy.
Work a few pieces at a time when coating the tofu in cornstarch. Its much easier than crowding the bowl with all the tofu nuggets at once.
To store: Place the buffalo tofu wings into an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer.
