Preheat oven to 425F/218C. Prep a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside. Cut tofu into desired size pieces or break apart for a more authentic "chicken" look.
Add all the marinade ingredients together and whisk. Place in a shallow dish and place tofu pieces inside. Allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
Place all ingredients for the breading into a food processor and pulse until crumbled. Place in a shallow bowl.
After marinating, dip tofu into the breading mixture and place on prepared baking tray. *For even crispier results, dip again in the marinade and bake in the breading mixture. Spray lightly with oil for the best results, then place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
While baking, make the sauce by combining all the ingredients into a small pot. Stir together until vegan butter has melted. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes.
When tofu is done, allow ot cool for 10-15 minutes, then brush the sauce over your tofu. Top with fresh thyme if desired and serve!
