Vegan Nashville Hot Chicken is a thing…when you make it with tofu! Inspired by my popular Best Vegan Fried Chicken recipe, this vegan Nashville Hot Tofu uses the double-freeze technique but simplifies (and healthifies?) the process making this recipe easy and quick with little effort. Crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside, this sweet and spicy dish is tofu for everyone - even people who don’t really care for tofu!
Note that since this recipe uses double-frozen tofu, you will need to prep the tofu a few days ahead of time. Please read the recipe before beginning.

Was a little scared of the tablespoon of cayenne pepper but it is perfectly ok because of the brine cooling it down, Yumdelicious if you have not made this stop everything and do so right this moment, you will be glad you did.

Spent five years trying to like tofu - can't believe nobody ever told me before about the double-freezing thing! Thanks, Mary xx

@marystestkitchen 3 года назад

I only invented it a few years ago so you can't be blamed! Only the double freezing of medium firm tofu to make it flaky like chicken though. People have been using frozen tofu for centuries (even before modern refridgeration!)

@SuperSweetgurl123 4 года назад

Amazing!! I’m from Nashville and since going vegan I’ve been looking for a recipe and this is it! I marinate the chicken before, coat in a little corn starch and bake like you said, then add a little more marinade after. And oh my god wow. And the double freeze is a game changer. Thank you!

You can use firmer tofu if you want more density. Or soy curls.

@artwillvideos 3 года назад

So, double freeze/thaw the tofu, tear it into pieces, and then freeze and store again? Do I have that right? How is it on the third thaw?

@marystestkitchen 3 года назад

Yeah only if say you're doing a few packs and not using them right away. The third freeze doesnt make a difference to the final product. Just work quickly and be food safe

@sweetcaramelsmile 4 года назад

Hi Friend! I've missed you soo much!

@sudheshnam Год назад

I do not have a freezer, is there a way to do this without?

@marystestkitchen Год назад

Sorry, unless you have freezing temperatures outside you can use for freezing, you won't be able to create this texture. However, you can use extra firm tofu with this recipe (skip the freezing step) and make delicious seasoned tofu anyway.

@mamakins5123 4 года назад

Could you reduce prep time by marinating after the second freeze and then freeze a third time in the marinade?

@nicolelindauer7631 2 года назад

I can only find medium firm in actual Asian stores. We have HMart and Ocean Pacific (I think that’s the name) here. That’s where I find soft as well. Some stores have shelf stable tofu and I see all the varieties there, but for some reason, that grossed me out 😆

@gpl422sda 3 года назад

Where do you get medium tofu? All we have here in SD is firm or extra firm

@marystestkitchen 3 года назад

I'm in Canada. It's pretty easy to find - all the grocery stores near me carry it. You can try looking in stores where east asian people tend to shop. They will tend to carry medium firm tofu since it's more used in east asian cuisine.

@terranew8382 4 года назад

Why do I have to have to keep spending money and time on tofu just to get it to mimic chicken when you have the answer is it a legal thing why you can't show the brand I checked the blog for details and still can't find the answer I been trying this method for a year I commented on the other video same issue & some brands have numbers to indicate how firm I tried I'm wasting money there's some channels show everything in detail some just hide some stuff you have to go on a mission to get it ... It's clear I'm frustrated help me understand why you just can't show the package that you use and then I won't keep commenting on this tofu video.. don't get me wrong I appreciate what you're doing it takes a lot of courage and energy to put these together for us but it's complicated and it shouldn't have to be I know a female that shows everything she do her measurements are always on point I am a die-hard fan of her her recipes never fail me if I can see the brands and it's still don't come out right then I can blame myself

@marystestkitchen 4 года назад

I've shown it on multiple videos tho...and there's a whole list on the blog post linked of both brands that work and don't work. Actually the list is even in multiple places! The list keeps changing based on what's being reported by testers which is why I keep it there and not just show in videos. Plus a video is forever and cannot be edited afterward posting on RU-vid . So if the brands change formulas, I have no way editing that into the video
