Dixie Diners' Club - Chicken (Not!) Strips, 1 lb bag (Pack of 2)

I had to make A vegan dinner for my church. They wanted a vegan meal. These strips are versatile. I made them three different ways. I made it Asian stirfry. I made a jerk barbecue. And then I made a chipotle. All I did was put them in crockpots what the various flavors I had a H and teriyaki marinade I had some jerk sauce and barbecue sauce marinade and I have some taco seasoning along with some tomatoes and chipotle see if I left them in the crockpot that and reconstitute understand Sloly tasted them to see when they were soft enough out of the love of my salesman and I was done. The most work I had to do with the cut up the peppers for the Asian Stirfry. They were so good people Ask him for more and wanted the recipe. I like that they were bigger pieces and I like the fact that they were relatively inexpensive

Looks more like chunks than strips. I could not expect to much with imitation chicken I guess, but handling is important if the product is going to look as advertised. I guess this is not the company's fault. I would give it a higher rating if not for this issue. IT is filling.

I've been going to Asian veggie restaurants for decades and always wondered what it was that they used to make their meat substitutes so meat-like... only thought to actually research it recently. Textured Vegetable Protein! You can whip up something on the cheap at home very easily for what these restaurants charge you through the roof for. This isn't the only brand but it sure does the job for a fair price.To the people giving this poor reviews, I think we're dealing with user error here. Please don't just soak this stuff in warm water and call it good or you're in for a bland experience. It soaks up the flavor you give it so add that flavor with it to the hot water. For example, I added some poultry seasoning, soy sauce, five chinese spice and orange juice to the marinade to give it great flavor for the orange "chicken" recipe pictured and it was bomb. Get creative.

After receiving the set, l dared not even opening the bags. Everything inside had been thrown around so much, both bags were full of nothing but crumbs. l couldn`t find any edible food in this order. Please resend the order, but check if it has actual nuggets in it. Thankyou for what you do there. Peace

Imitation meats interest me very much. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm married to one, and I'm concerned about resources and humane practices and all that. So when I heard about these, I was surprised to hear that they had such high reviews. They're just soy flour, for goodness' sake! I had to try them.BUT LET ME TELL YOU, they actually work really well as a chicken substitute. I reconstitute them as recommended by other reviewers (I use chicken broth because again, I'm not vegetarian, though you could use any broth that tastes good, and I let them marinate for at least an hour after reconstitution) and then cook them in stir-fries primarily. And WOW, they really do have almost the same mouthfeel as chicken! They even have the same texture! It's purely astonishing.What's better: my husband is a lifelong vegetarian--yes, from his weaning in toddlerhood--and he's not enthused with imitation meats. He never got a taste for meat, and he's never liked the taste or texture. But he actually likes these. He even asked for them the other day--and I had some marinating in the fridge, so I could make him some when I cooked mine. He's never once asked for any other imitation meat I've ever made. He'll eat them if I serve them, usually, but he doesn't go out of his way to ask for this kind of food--until now.I have just one caveat to offer. Be aware that these do not reheat for beans. Eat them in one sitting; don't make a lot of extra strips. The fibers tighten solid over time and they get really leathery--chewy and tough.Good work, Dixie Diner's Club! Dunno how you did it, but you really did a good job.

You do have to season adequately, but it doesn't take a medical degree to do it. Here's how I prepared it and the result was fantastic. I heated the water to boiling with some rosemary, red pepper flake, a tiny bit of salt, and black pepper, then soaked the Chicken Not strips in it. I kept the soaked Chicken Not in the fridge over night. The next day I made Julie Jordan's cashew chili recipe (google it) without the cashews or vinegar (or the butter, for my fellow vegans) and added the Chicken Not for fifteen minutes at the end when the chili was simmering. It was (is...made a big pot of it that we'll eat for a couple of nights) delicious. The Chicken Not looks like chicken but more important than looks or flavor, it has the texture of chicken, and I mean a VERY chicken-like texture. The big flavors of the chili made the Chicken Not extremely tasty. I really can't tell you how happy I am with this product. We're vegetarians, but my wife has been talking about her craving for Chinese pepper steak for a couple of weeks. I'm going to get the Beef Not strips and make her some Chinese pepper steak.The only thing I miss about meat is the mouth feel...the texture. And this Chicken Not captures it perfectly. I am very happy with this product and recommend it. Oh, and this is not a compensated review in any way, shape, or form.
