Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  6. Dip each tofu cube into the flour mixture first, then into the breadcrumbs.

  8. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  9. Remove the tofu from the oven and toss it in buffalo sauce.
