These jackfruit nuggets are flavorful and have a crispy fried shell with a secret ingredient that keeps everything together. I love using my air fryer for these dishes since it eliminates so much oil and fat. And it results in these incredibly crisp bits. Add your favorite wing sauce and serve.

Instructions
Step 1: Combine the buttermilk marinade ingredients in a large mixing basin.
Step 2: Place the trimmed jackfruit in the marinade for 30 minutes, stirring to coat all pieces.
Step 3: While the jackfruit is marinating, prepare the breading mixture in a separate big mixing dish.
Step 3: When the jackfruit has finished marinating, spoon each piece into a separate medium-sized dish, keeping the remaining liquid.
Step 4: Fill a liquid measuring cup halfway with the remaining marinade liquid.
Step 5: Add 34 cups all-purpose flour to the same basin that held the marinating liquid.
Step 6: Slowly pour the marinade liquid back into the flour mixture, whisking constantly, until you get a pancake-like consistency.
Step 7: Arrange your three bowls in the following order: jackfruit (furthest away from the air fryer basket), liquid batter, and breading mixture (closest to the air fryer basket).
Step 8: Dip the jackfruit pieces into the liquid batter with a spoon or tongs, then carefully push each piece into the breading mixture until completely covered on both sides, then place in the air fryer basket.
Step 9: Spray a good amount of neutral oil on both sides of each jackfruit slice.
Step 10: Cook for 20 minutes at 400°F in an air fryer.
Enjoy.
