Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Jackfruit Wings
  1. Begin by draining and rinsing one can of green jackfruit. Cut the jackfruit into wing-sized pieces and toss with cayenne, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F or set your air fryer to 375°F. Bake jackfruit pieces for 10-12 minutes or air fry for 5 minutes until browned.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, unsweetened plant milk, baking soda, and salt to create a smooth, thick batter.
  4. Heat canola oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each baked jackfruit piece into the batter and then roll in flour before frying for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Once fried, toss the wings in your choice of BBQ or buffalo sauce and serve immediately with your favorite dips.
