[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am vegetarian - anytime a chicken recipe sounds good because of the sauce or seasonings, I just make it with chickpeas and veggies.

Tofu is also usually $2 for a block. I drain it, press it, slice or cube it. Sometimes toss it in cornstarch. Back at 400 until crispy. And then drizzle with sauce or toss into a stir fry. 
 
Are you open to other type of bean recipes? I have been very into these black bean burgers. I leave out the feta. Use all bbq sauce instead of Worcestershire. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/best-black-bean-burgers/

Is tossing in cornstarch a must before baking?  I'd like to avoid using it is possible..but not sure if that means it will be a mushy mess[/quote]

Not the pp, but in my experience if you press it and dry it you don't have to do cornstarch, it won't be as crispy but it won't be mush. Two other ways I bake tofu
-do a baked marinaded tofu, press it, bake in soy sauce/seseme oil/whatever. It doesn't have a crispy texture, but it still good
-instead of cornstarch, do a seasoned flour toss and bake (if you are avoiding cornstarch but not grains)
-you can also freeze the tofu, thaw and press, and then bake. It has a very distinctive spongy texture, not everyone likes it but I do! My favorite way to use that type of baked tofu is in a sandwich with hoisen sauce and greens.[/quote]
