Instructions

Take the tofu out of the packaging and drain the water. Wrap it with a clean dish towel, or a few paper towels, and gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture. I spend less than a minute on this.
Pull the tofu into bite-sized chunks. Toss with the cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, paprika, and garlic powder.
When everything is well-coated, air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Shake or toss, then air fry for another 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. (See notes for baking instructions.)
Melt the butter and whisk with the hot sauce. Toss the crispy tofu in the sauce to coat.
Dip in your favorite sauce or throw in a wrap, bowl, or salad! So yum!
