BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich

I have posted something similar to this in the past.  But I wanted to try the other method people use to cook the jackfruit.  I think I may actually prefer this method.  It is faster, and the jackfruit actually gets a more crispy texture.  Use any type of BBQ sauce.  The seasoning can make the jackfruit a bit spicy, so if heat is not your thing, use a sweeter BBQ sauce.

The seasoning can make the jackfruit a bit spicy, so if heat is not your thing, use a sweeter BBQ sauce. I love this cooking method for making it crispy.
