Notes
- Nutrition facts are based on my gram measurements put into Cronometer. Yours may vary, they are to help you get an idea. This also does not include the full usage of the flour breading and buffalo sauce as not all of it was needed to cover the 8 ounces of tofu.
- Baking instructions: follow all the instructions but bake at 400°F for 2o to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be crispy and golden. If you need to cook for longer or less time depending on your oven that is okay.
- You will have leftover buffalo sauce and breading. Store the breading in your pantry and the buffalo sauce in your fridge. Please review the FAQ for further info.
