Step 1
In a medium size pot, whisk together no-chicken broth, nutritional yeast, poultry seasoning, onion powder and liquid smoke.
Step 2
Add jackfruit, and bring to a boil. Stirring stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 mins.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for another 10 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
Step 4
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
In a small blender or bowl with a whisk, whip together mung bean starch and silken tofu. Add water 1 tsp at a time as needed (if any). Add to the jackfruit mixture 1 tbsp at a time and mix until it starts to come together.
Step 6
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water and soften the rice paper by soaking each sheet for about 30 seconds.
Step 7
Remove from the bowl and place the rice paper on a flat surface and using a sharp knife, cut in half.
Step 8
Place 2-3 tbsp of the jackfruit mixture onto the rice paper, then if you’re using a “bone”, place one 'bones' on top.
Step 9
If you are using a cauliflower: Take your cauliflower and cut off all leaves as close to the stem as you can, whilst making sure to not cut off any of the stems. Cut the whole cauliflower into quarters, slicing from the stem to the florets of the cauliflower - you want to keep the stem attached to the florets as this is what will make your 'bone' and also hold onto the flesh of the jackfruit. Cut off the majority of the florets of each cauliflower quarter, so that you get the basic shape of a drumstick. See images for a guide as to how this should look before moving on to the next step.
Step 10
Cover the bone with jackfruit and wrap the rice paper around the jackfruit flesh, leaving the bone exposed (exactly like a chicken wing). Set aside and repeat.
Step 11
NOTE: Make larger bundles if mimicking fried chicken.
Step 12
Whisk barbecue and hot sauces in a bowl. Add more of either or both sauces if desired. Coat each wing in the sauce and cook according to your preferred cooking method.
Step 13
(Air Fryer: Place wings into the air fryer basket and cook at 375F for roughly 10 mins. OR Oven: Place wings on a lined baking sheet and broil for 8-12 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until they are lightly charred on all sides.)
Step 14
Toss wings in more sauce and serve.
Step 15
Heat a pot of vegetable oil, filled less than halfway to the top, to 350F.
Step 16
In a shallow bowl, whisk together aquafaba and hot sauce.
Step 17
In another bowl, combine flour, cajun spice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, and sea salt.
Step 18
Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, then the aquafaba mixture, back into the flour mixture, then into the hot oil.
Step 19
Fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes.
Step 20
Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any access oil.
