BYPASS or BUY - Not Co. Chik'n Nuggies

Another day, another new nuggie to try, and I'm up to the task. I recently tried Not Co. Chik'n burgers, and despite being initially underwhelmed by their appearance, they earned a BUY from me for flavour. Now, it's time to try their nuggets, and I had high expectations given how delicious their chik'n burgers were! How do they stack up to other nugs on the market? Let's chat!

Right out of the bag, they looked like every other frozen nug. They were a good size, the breading looked like it would get nice and crispy, and the bag had a good amount of nugs. I opted to BAKE them as that's usually how I do my comparisons / testing, so I threw them in the oven and waited patiently for them to be finished. I started smelling them halfway through the bake which ignited that excitable hunger I was hoping for from the nugs. Once the oven beeped, it was time to dive in.

They didn't get as much colour in the oven as I'd hoped and kind of retained that beige, light brown colour as opposed to a crispy, golden appearance. The breading was kind of underwhelming because it wasn't crispy, but the flavour was great.

As far as the insides go, the texture was great and so was the flavour. I appreciated how savoury they were and they really ate like real nuggets. My father who eats meat also tried a couple and said they were pretty bang on.

BYPASS or BUY?

BUY! - They passed the nugget vibe check as far as I'm concerned. I could have eaten the whole bag in one go. They're comparable priced to other popular nugs (Impossible Foods, Sol Cuisine), taste great, and come with a good amount of nuggies in the bag. I'd definitely eat these again and think y'all should grab a bag for yourselves!
