Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Drain and rinse your canned jackfruit, then cut it into wing-sized pieces. Season with cayenne, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper for flavorful bites.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the jackfruit for 10-12 minutes or air fry for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, plant milk, baking soda, and salt. Stir until you have a smooth batter that's light and fluffy.
  4. Dip each seasoned jackfruit piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in any remaining flour for a crispy exterior.
  5. Heat canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the coated jackfruit pieces for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Toss your crispy jackfruit wings in barbecue or buffalo sauce, if desired, just before serving.
