Those nuggets are barely chicken anyways. If they can make a healthier, tastier nugget then that’s a win for everyone.
I bet they are not healthier.
They are not - they have super high sodium levels.
What’s yallz favorite fake chicken nuggies?
I’ve tried a bunch, some disappointing but my favorite is Quorn
Quorn is good but (I was surprised to find) not vegan - they still have eggs. Not the worst concession, but FYI for anyone looking through the comments for plant based options.
Cheap chicken nuggets are trash anyways. If you’re buying cheap chicken nuggets, you may as well do yourself the favor of getting the ones made of tofu instead of chicken paste.
It’s the breading and the deep friedness that makes it good.
Quorn is way better than tofu or what I assume is some form of seitan you get with some of these. It really is way better flavor and texture than even decent quality chicken nuggets.
This is my entire take on most veg meat replacements. I won’t use substitutes in place of higher quality meat, but if I could I’d replace every single instance of low quality meat in my diet with some tofu/cauliflower/tempeh/whatever substitute.
It’s like, I get the nostalgia of shitty chicken nuggets, but 0% chance of biting into a piece of gristle? Sign me up
I wish I could still get Qorn nuggets locally. They’re so damn good, like how good chicken nuggets tasted as a child. Honestly way better in every regard than an actual nuggie.
Qorn products aren’t vegan, FYI.
