I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren’t chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it’s not like I haven’t eaten a chicken nugget in years, they are legit. Definitely recommend trying them if you are trying to cut your meat consumption or even if you are just curious.
They make animal shaped and spicy versions too
It makes sense. Nuggets arent exactly known for their strong fresh chicken flavor so I imagine a good coating and some oil would do a lot of heavy lifting in bridging the gap in flavor
Fake chicken has come a long way in general. Daring chicken is meant to substitute white meat with no breading and very close in flavor. I wouldn’t eat it on it’s own because the texture is a little weird, but shredded in soup or gumbo or whatever it’s suspiciously close to real chicken.
And now lab grown chicken is FDA approved 👀
Barbecue sauce is a winner pairing
My drunk snack is the animal shaped nuggies (they have to be the animal shaped ones, I find the irony of it hilarious) and some Lillie’s Q smoky BBQ sauce.
