Step-by-Step Instructions for Jackfruit Wings
- Begin by draining and rinsing the canned green jackfruit, then cut it into wing-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, season the jackfruit with cayenne, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and crushed black pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated with spices.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned jackfruit pieces on a baking sheet, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until they start to become slightly crispy. Alternatively, if you prefer an air fryer, cook the jackfruit for 5 minutes until they gain that enticing crunch.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of plant milk, baking soda, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Once the jackfruit has baked, dip each piece into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Roll the coated jackfruit in the remaining flour to create a thick, even layer.
- Heat a generous amount of canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the coated jackfruit pieces. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- For an extra layer of flavor, toss the freshly fried jackfruit wings in your choice of barbecue or buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
