How to Prepare Buffalo Tofu Wings [Vegan]

To make the wings, Cut your tofu into 16 "chicken finger" sized pieces.
Set up a breading station. In one shallow dish, mix together flour, pepper, paprika, oregano, and basil.
In a separate dish, place the coconut milk.
Double dredge one "wing" by first dipping it into the coconut milk, then into the flour mixture, then back into the coconut milk, then back into the batter.
Place in the hot oil and fry until golden, about 1 minute.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with remaining wings.
To make the Buffalo sauce, melt butter and stir in hot sauce, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
Place fried wings in a bowl and pour Buffalo sauce all over wings.
Gently toss to coat.
To make the cool ranch dressing, mix all ingredients together until well incorporated.
Store dressing in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
