Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining and rinsing the canned green jackfruit to remove excess brine. Cut into wing-sized pieces and toss with cayenne, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange seasoned jackfruit pieces on a lined baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup of flour, plant milk, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Dip each jackfruit piece into the batter, then coat in remaining flour for extra crispiness.
  5. Heat canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry jackfruit wings for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer fried wings onto paper towels to absorb excess oil. Toss in sauce if desired and serve warm.
