yum, yes. I boiled the jackfruit in the marinade because I think it takes the briney flavor out, and it quickens the cooking. I just had to make a little extra for the breading part.

I just made these for the first time tonight and my husband and I both loved them. They were very tasty and love the crunch that the air fryer gave them!

In reply to Shanna. I have not weighed it after draining, but the recipe calls for two 20oz can so you could use three 14 oz cans.

Can you tell me what the weight of the jackfruit would be drained please? I only have 14 oz. no sodium cans.

I finally got around to making these. They are good and the texture is good too. For those who asked, as I did, yes the tough edge softened up nicely! You could pop the whole thing in your mouth, or take a bite and it was very much like biting into a nugget! I served with BBQ sauce.

BE SURE TO RINSE WELL! Mine did end up tasting briny and that took a lot away from the yum factor. Overall, pretty good though. Next time, I want to add Poultry Seasoning to the Panko to see if they taste a bit more chick'ny.

Looking to try these but wondering if I could make a bunch and freeze them? Would they get mushy?

In reply to Gwen. Just a simple mustard sauce, dijon mustard, yogurt (or mayo), and a bit of agave :)

In reply to Suzy. I found that through marinating and cooking it gets nice and tender :)

The texture turns out very chicken- like, and the coating is crunchy when made in the air fryer. I used a light coating of oil spray. Next time I’ll rinse the jackfruit a little more to thoroughly remove the brine, mine came out with a little residual sourness because of the brine. But that is minor, I really like this recipe!

In reply to Robin. Thanks Robin. I do like jackfruit and use it quite a bit, but always rip the tender "meat" away from the tough edges. So I'm waiting to see what Sam says. The same question has been asked on Instagram too.

In reply to Suzy. sorry, not an answer, but I have same question. tried jackfruit once, hated it. But I trust Sam so want to try again.

What is the dipping sauce, and is there a recipe for it? Thank you!

These look SO GOOD, but I really dislike nutritional yeast in recipes! Would love to see an alternative listed (or suggested in the comments).

Hi Sam! Does the tougher edge of the jackfruit soften enough to eat after marinading? I was always under the impression it should be pulled off of the tough edge and used that way. These look amazing, can't wait to try!
