1/2tsp White Pepper

2tso Cayenne Pepper (use less or more depending on your preference)

Neutral-Tasting Oil (such as vegetable or canola oil | for frying)

Method

Jackfruit Marinade

• Drain and squeeze the jackfruit to remove excess water.
• In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients with the jackfruit until all jackfruit pieces are well coated.
• Set the bowl aside.

Vegan Buttermilk

• In a medium-sized shallow bowl, gently whisk all the ingredients till fully combined.
• Set aside for 6-8mins.

Crumbs

• Combine the cornmeal and flour in a flat plate.
• In another flat plate, combine all the spices with the Panko bread crumbs.

Vegan Zinger Fried Chicken

• Heat up the oil in a deep frying pan.
• Coat the marinated jackfruit (one piece at a time) in the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, and finally, the breadcrumb mixture. Optionally, you can double coat the jackfruit piece by coating it in flour then the buttermilk again.
• Press gently, but firmly to make sure the breadcrumbs stick.
• Fry the pieces in the oil on medium-low heat until golden brown (ensure the oil is not too hot as the breadcrumbs can burn very easily).

Serve.

Serving Suggestions: Serve hot as a snack, with chips and dips or in a burger.
