Chickenless Crispy Tenders
"Chicken tenders have come a long, long way since their rise to prominence in the 1970’s — for many, they’re the very definition of comfort food. But, like all animal-derived foods, their characteristic comforts aren’t immediately accessible to those on a plant-based diet. Which is precisely why we carry Trader Joe’s Chickenless Crispy Tenders in our freezers. They’re made from a mix of soy and whole grains, and are breaded and fried to perfection before being flash-frozen for ease of preparation at home. Now, those who don’t eat meat don’t have to miss out on all the savory flavor and satisfyingly crisp texture of a classic tender or nugget.
After just a few minutes in the oven, air fryer, or skillet, these Tenders take on a delightfully golden brown hue and become ready to dunk in your favorite dipping sauce. But that’s hardly where we’d stop: They also make a great protein for a vegan version of a crispy chicken sandwich, a top-notch topping for salads when roughly chopped, and a delightful, plant-based substitute for boneless (not to mention the rest-of-the-Chickenless) wings when dipped into a mixture of Peri Peri Sauce and melted Vegan Buttery Spread."
