These Vegan Lemon Pepper Wings transform jackfruit and vital wheat gluten into crispy, plant-based wings coated in a buttery lemon pepper sauce. The homemade wings are shaped, chilled, battered, fried until golden and crisp, then tossed in a bright, savory lemon sauce with optional heat and sweetness.

Directions

  1. Rinse the JACKFRUIT thoroughly, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
  2. Place the drained jackfruit in a food processor. Add the PSYLLIUM HUSK OR FLAXSEED MEAL, NUTRITIONAL YEAST, VEGAN CHICKEN BOUILLON POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, OIL, VEGAN WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE, and SALT.
  3. Blend until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Gradually add the VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN, starting with a small amount and adding more as needed until the mixture holds its shape.
  5. Mold the mixture into individual wing-shaped pieces.
  6. Place the shaped vegan wings in the freezer for approximately 20–30 MINUTES to firm.
  7. Prepare your preferred WET AND DRY BATTERS. Cherry refers viewers to her page for her batter recipe.
  8. Heat the frying oil to 375°F. Coat each chilled wing in the wet and dry batter, then carefully fry until the exterior is golden and crispy.
  9. To make the sauce, combine the PLANT-BASED BUTTER, LEMON JUICE, LEMON ZEST, and LEMON PEPPER SEASONING. Add HOT SAUCE and/or your preferred SWEETENER, if desired.
  10. Toss the freshly fried vegan wings in the lemon pepper sauce until evenly coated.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
