Method

1.
Prepare the wings • Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly, then shred it by squishing it between your fingers and breaking it up into small, stringy strands • Place in a bowl and add the flour, jerk seasoning or marinade, nutritional yeast, herbs, paprika, soy sauce and olive oil and combine everything well • Tip the panko into a separate bowl • Shape the jackfruit mixture into 8 ‘wings’ and then dip them in the breadcrumbs, turning them until they are well coated
-
2.
Make the fries • Cut the potatoes into 1cm fries and tip them into the large saucepan • Cover with water, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil • Cook for 8–10 minutes, then drain and leave to steam dry • Spread the fries over the baking tray and drizzle with the oil, jerk seasoning and tablespoon of salt • Bake in the hot oven for 30 minutes, shaking the tray regularly to stop the fries sticking
-
3.
Fry the wings • Pour the vegetable oil into the large saucepan so that it comes no more than two-thirds up the side of the pan • Heat the oil to 180ºC, or until the oil sizzles around the edges when you dip in a wooden spoon • Lower the wings into the oil in batches and deep-fry for about 1–2 minutes, until dark golden brown • Remove to the tray lined with kitchen paper
