\"Impossible<\/p>\n

What are Impossible Chicken Nuggets?<\/h3>\n

After the success of its plant-based burgers, especially in the form of the Impossible Whopper from Burger King<\/a>, Impossible Foods has introduced chicken nuggets. Having made its mark on the world by creating a plant-burger patty nearly identical to beef, it was only matter of time before Impossible Foods attempted to replicate another animal. Will these plant-based nuggets manage another feat of food super-science?<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m the last person in the world to not have an air-fryer, so I cooked these in my stupid, non-trendy regular oven. Eleven minutes at 375 degrees resulted in hot and crispy nuggets. I ate one too quickly and burned my mouth, just like when I was a kid! <\/p>\n

\"Impossible<\/p>\n

They\u2019re hot, juicy, too salty, and taste like chicken. Or, they taste like chicken as much as chicken nuggets do. Because that\u2019s the thing, isn\u2019t it? Ground, pressed, and formed chicken made into nuggets is about as far away from actual chicken as possible, so how impressive is it to recreate them from soy?<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Impossible<\/p>\n

I\u2019m usually fairly forgiving when it comes to \u201cimitation\u201d foods. I like Boca Burgers despite them tasting nothing like actual hamburgers. Does imitation crab taste anything like real crab? No, but it\u2019s still good. Impossible Foods has set itself the high standard of being indistinguishable from the real thing and so I judge them accordingly.<\/p>\n

Are these plant-based nuggets the equivalent of chicken? Yeah, they\u2019re even closer than the burgers. Yet, I have to think that these nuggets are less impressive than an Impossible Whopper. Chicken nuggets are a notoriously hyper-processed product (Jamie Oliver is on a crusade about them). When Impossible Foods delivers the whole muscle meats that they\u2019re working on is when plant-based meat will have its true test.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Impossible Foods’ plant-based chicken nuggets achieve the (not quite) impossible feat of making a nugget that\u2019s no different than one made from chicken. I\u2019m looking forward to what Impossible Foods has coming next.<\/p>\n
