Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Jackfruit Wings
- Start by draining and rinsing the canned green jackfruit thoroughly under cold water. Cut the jackfruit into wing-sized pieces, aiming for uniformity. In a mixing bowl, season the pieces with cayenne, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and crushed black pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer as per the manufacturer's instructions. If baking, spread the seasoned jackfruit wings on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway for even crisping. If air frying, cook for about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of flour, the plant milk, baking soda, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Once the jackfruit wings are slightly crispy from baking or air frying, dip each piece into the batter and roll the jackfruit in the remaining flour to add an extra layer of crunch.
- Heat approx. 1/2 cup of canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the coated jackfruit wings to the pan and fry each piece for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- For an extra burst of flavor, toss the crispy jackfruit wings in your choice of BBQ or buffalo sauce and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
