Equipment

Ingredients
  

Tofu Chicken

  • 1 package (16 ounce/454g) super firm tofu
  • ½ cup (56g) breadcrumbs
  • 2 egg replacers
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Breading

  • ¼ cup (32g) cornstarch
  • ½ cup (120ml) nondairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored
  • ¾ cup (84g) breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Spray Oil

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Into a food processor place the tofu, breadcrumbs, egg replacer, and salt and pepper. Process until it has formed into a thick uniform mixture. You should be able to make it into a ball with your hands.
  • Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons into your hand and roll it out into a long snake shape. Be careful not to make it too thin about 4-5 inches long. Repeat until all are made.
  • Freeze for at least 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime mix breadcrumbs with seasonings for the breading.
  • After freezing coat one of the chicken fries in cornstarch, then dip in the nondairy milk, and roll in breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat until all are coated.
  • Spray generously with spray oil and place 4 to 5 in air fryer basket. Leave room so they do not overcrowd. I put extra chicken fries in the freezer while I waited for the others to be done.
  • Airfry at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes or until crisp and golden. Repeat as many times as needed.
  • To make the sauce combine all sauce ingredients into a small bowl. Add additional salt if desired.
  • When the chicken fries are done enjoy them warm dipped in sauce. If they look a little dry you can always spray with more spray oil.
