These skinny & oil-free Vegan Buffalo Tofu Wings are so delicious! The perfect party appetizer or Super Bowl snack. Low-fat, low-carb, keto, low-calorie, and gluten-free!
Y'all know I'm quite the tofu-lover. It's just amazing to me how it can turn into so many different, amazing things! Some of my favorite tofu recipes are:
1. BBQ Tofu Burger
2. Vegan Queso
3. Low-Carb Pizza Sticks
4. Vegan Egg Salad
5. Vegan Quiche
6. Southwest Tofu Bowl
7. Cinnamon French Tofu Sticks
I use House Foods organic tofu in my recipes because it is reasonably priced, non-GMO, and just delicious!
Anyway, back to the topic at hand: these Spicy Vegan Buffalo Tofu Wings are SO GOOD.
As in, you might eat the whole batch in one sitting. But that's ok - just make two if you want to share 😉
They are super healthy and absolutely delicious. Perfect for most dietary restrictions, too!
They are...
Vegan
Gluten-free
Low-carb
Low-fat
& completely oil-free
They're pretty spicy, so substitute some of the hot sauce for water if you are sensitive to spiciness.
They were perfect for me because I love me some spice!
I know the recipe looks like a lot of steps, but I promise you it's super easy, even for a novice!
And it's totally worth it.
These are the perfect for a game day appetizer or Super Bowl party snack.

I cannot believe these tofu buffalo wings are so healthy and so cheap! Not gonna lie, I'd eat all of the wings in one sitting! LOL!
From experience I can tell you it's easy to do!! ????
These were awesome! At first, the recipe annoyed me because it had so many different steps, but it was worth it in the end. The tofu wings really did taste like chicken! I ate them with celery and ranch dressing. I felt like I was sitting in a sports bar, eating buffalo wings.
Hi Christina! Thanks so much for your comment - glad you enjoyed the recipe! The long list of steps is kind of daunting, but I agree - worth it in the end 🙂
For those who can’t eat soy, like me, there is a great alternative, hempseed tofu called Tempt
That sounds like a great alternative! Thank you for this comment, Frank!

Yippeeee! This makes me so happy! Thanks for your comment, Sue!
