1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained, or to taste
1 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place tofu slices on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave until defrosted, 2 to 5 minutes. Squeeze out water from the tofu and place slices over 3 layers of paper towels to drain. Pat dry with additional paper towels.
  • Mix ranch dressing, hot sauce, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Coat tofu slices with the ranch mixture and roll in bread crumbs until thoroughly coated.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tofu nuggets are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets image

I developed this recipe to copycat Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets. I knew I had a winner the first time I made them because the whole family fought over who got the last one! For a dipping sauce, combine barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard, then stir in honey to add some sweetness. -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia
