It's okay, nothing special. I've only been a vegetarian for about 6 months though, so I can still really notice the different in tofu and actually meat. I recommend not slicing the tofu so thickly, if they're just 1/2 -3/4 inch slices it makes the outer layer firmer.

This was very good! We used extra firm tofu, and Sweet Baby Ray's Original barbeque sauce (it's amazing!). I liked this so much because we were able to make it so quickly. The tofu didn't really get crispy, per se, but it did get browned nicely on both sides, and the tofu retained a similar texture to chicken, but then again, I haven't eaten chicken in 7 years. We served this with Au Gratin potatoes (from Betty Crocker), and those flavors went together well. Thanks for the idea, and for sharing!
