It's been years since I've tried any of the veggie patties or vegetarian foods. I remember them not being so good but I've had a few people tell me over the past year or so that some of the frozen veggie 'meats' are quite tasty. So I decided to give one a try.
I was a little surprised at just how many meat replacement type products there are. I found buffalo style nuggets, sausage patties, and patties that look like chicken and beef. So I decided to try the Morning Star Farms Chik'n Buffalo Wings.
They look and smell just like any other frozen chicken nugget that I've had. After baking them in my George Foreman Rotisserie Oven for 20 minutes, I took them out and tried them. I have to say that they were much better than I had expected they would be. I think the buffalo seasoning was a little hot and needed a little more saltiness flavor because there wasn't a lot of buffalo flavor other than just being spicy. I cut chewed some of the breading off so I could taste the inside by itself and found it wasn't bad at all, it has a pretty good taste to it.
These were better than I thought they would be and I plan on trying a few more of their products now. Because at $3.50 a box, it's comparable to a box of actual chicken nuggets.
Ken ate some of them with me and even he said that they were not bad at all. They were a little spicy hot though. I think when I try another product from them, it won't be a spicy hot one.
I've been a veggie for a bit over 15 years and it's amazing how much the options have changed over the years. These were too hot for me too but I did like the regular chic nuggets. Glad yall enjoyed them :)
ReplyDeleteI love buffalo chicken wings!! This sounds super tasty.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect and easy too. Not a bad price at all
ReplyDeleteInteresting! My husband won't eat anything like that. He's a very picky eater...and I don't like buffalo wings. It would be easier if he liked frozen stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnna- I was interested how much the stuff like this had changed in the past 15 years. it's been that long since I tried a product like this and this was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteKeith- I do too and these were good.
Stephanie- Thankfully Ken is open to trying anything I want to.
Even though I'm a vegetarian, I've never gotten into the fake meats
ReplyDeleteAh..never tried all the fake meats either.
ReplyDeleteAdam- I was curious and they turned out to be pretty good.
ReplyDeleteEditors At Work- They really weren't that bad at all.
I'm a vegetarian and I LOVE Morning Star! Their buffalo wings are too spicy for me, but I do the nugget test with my friends/family and they can't tell it's not real. ;)
ReplyDeleteChrys- Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm sure I'll be trying some of their other product in the future.
ReplyDeleteI've tried some veggie patties and have discovered that the brand makes a difference. Thanks for the review, I am not a fan of spicy foods but I will definitely consider the regular 'chik'n nuggets.
ReplyDeleteI would want to know exactly what's inside them before eating.
ReplyDeleteI've never minded meat substitutes when I've tried them, but I am amazed at the variety of offerings there are these days. Glad you found a tasty, affordable one to try.
ReplyDeleteI love Morning Star. I used to eat these all the time. Now I need to go out and buy some :)
ReplyDeleteELF- I would imagine the brand would make a big difference.
ReplyDeleteBijoux- Id hae to look on the package for that.
Sophia- Yeah, I am too.
Lily B- Yeah, I like them now too.
