This is a recipe I'd been wanting to try for awhile. I'm not a huge tofu fan. There are only a handful of tofu recipes that I enjoy. The texture has to be just right for me. My kids are much more tofu-tolerant. But this was one that I liked too. It reminded me of some kind of chicken that I can't put my finger on, since it's been 20 years since I've eaten meat.
The weird thing about this recipe is that although the tofu cubes are covered with crushed BBQ chips, they lose all BBQ flavor. The crunchiness is there, but the flavor is gone. So you definitely need something to dip these in because they taste like crunchy nothingness. Which is great, really, because you get the fabulous crunch, and you can make them taste like whatever you want. Which works out for my family because we all wanted something different to dip ours in. So we had sides of both ketchup and barbecue sauce (to get that BBQ flavor back!). Next time, I'll make the ranch dip suggested with the recipe. I'll definitely be making these again.
Oh, and heads up...I needed a LOT more barbecue chips than are asked for in the recipe to cover all the tofu cubes.
