When it comes to Vegan chicken I haven't had much luck. I do like Gardein's
Seven Grain Crispy Tenders A LOT but that's about it. My girlfriend has an affinity for a brand called
Cluckphrey from
Food For Life. Up till recently I wouldn't go near them. I'm pretty picky about my lazy Vegan food and something called "Cluckphrey" just didn't appeal to me.
One fateful night I was home alone and there wasn't much in the fridge. I took a peak in the freezer and scanned my options and saw a box of Cluckphreys. I thought about it for a sec and just decided "what the hell" and cooked one up. I was taught that the secret to a great tasting Cluckphrey is to cook it in a skillet with a tiny amount of oil. Apparently microwaving them makes them soggy oggie.
Well guess what? It was pretty damn good! I dressed it up with Vegenaise, tomato and lettuce and had some fries on the side. Easy, lazy and all that. Since I cooked the patty in the skillet it was nice and crispy. It reminded me of a High School cafeteria chicken patty, in a good way. Very tasty! So if you are looking for a nice chick'n option, take a look at Cluckphrey.
That looks really good! Reminds me of Frys Chicken style burgers. Don't know if you can get them in the US, but you can in the UK and they are the BEST. Have a hunt for them :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Spicy Chik'n patty from the Boca Brand. You should give it a try if you haven't. It definitely tastes better if you use a toaster oven or regular oven to give it a nice crunch. :)
ReplyDeleteHaHa With a name like Cluckphrey how could they not be good? Actually I've never seen these anywhere, I'll have to look for them. I tried the MorningStar Farms Chik'n Strips recently, oh they were bad :(
