Enjoyed This for Years
We've been enjoying this mandarin orange chickn for years. We usually have this on top of our salad with only a small portion of the sauce. I've had to cut back on sodium recently, and I would find it helpful if the sodium content and macros were separated between the chickn and sauce.

Fantastic Product
i love this product please don't discontinue it. i'm autistic and it's one of my only safe foods. it's a fantastic thing to make easy and it feeds 1 person well just from the bag and 2 people if we have sides with it. i've had this since i was a kid and i love it so much. all the stores i'd usually buy it from have stopped stocking it because they say you're discontinuing it. please keep making this product. i need it.

Delicious. A family fave!
We keep our freezer stocked with this stuff, it's so good! My daughter loves it too. We cook up a little rice, steam some broccoli, heat up the Mandarin Orange crispy chick'n and voila best easy dish ever. Yum. Wish it was easier to find. Also wish i could buy it a "family size" option to save on plastic packaging.

I enjoyed this a lot ! They taste so good, it’s crunchy and the sauce is delirious ,So yummy . I also liked the Savory stuffed breaded no Turkey meal , I think you created an amazing recipe for the plant based no chicken and no Turkey ‘meat’ like i this product and the other I mentioned here , using the Vital wheat gluten , soy and other ingredients - Way to go Gardein team . Thank you ♥️🩵👌

I’ve learned that this sauce can be tweaked and my kids love it. All I do is add the sauce to a pan with a little bit of cold water and cornstarch and bring it to a low boil and it thickens up. It becomes a nice thick sauce which then I cook the chicken with and my kids call it candy chicken. No more watery sauce that doesn’t stick to the chicken.😁

great product but needs more sauce packets!
love these! but i have a suggestion...why not enclose 2 sauce packets?/ i split a package for 2 meals. this would let me have sauce for each meal, or use both packets for making the whole bag!

Delicious and easy!
Delicious! Easy to prepare- I cooked these in my air fryer for 12 minutes at 425 flipping half way thru. I defrosted the sauce packet (they give you two, I only used one for the whole batch, and just saved the other for another time/recipe.) in a bowl in my sink by immersing it in hot tap water while plant chickn cooked. I tossed the chickn in the sauce and popped back in the air fryer for two additional minutes at 385. Ate them by themselves, but would be great over rice, in a stir fry, on a salad, in a wrap etc!

Amazing!
I’ve been buying Gardein Mandarin Orange Chicken a while now, and I must say it exceeds my expectations. As someone who does not eat meat, I was curious about how this product would fare with my carnivorous teenage boys. To my delight, they absolutely loved it! The crispy texture and the tangy, sweet mandarin orange sauce make for a delectable combination. It’s hard to believe it's not real chicken. The flavor is rich and satisfying, and the sauce has just the right amount of zest. It's quick to prepare, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights when you want something tasty without the hassle. One of the standout features of Gardein Mandarin Orange Chicken is its versatility. Whether you're serving it over rice, adding it to a stir-fry, or enjoying it on its own, it always delivers a fantastic taste experience. My boys, who are usually skeptical of anything that isn't meat, couldn't get enough of it. Overall, I highly recommend Gardein Mandarin Orange Chicken to anyone looking for a delicious and easy-to-make plant-based meal that even the most devoted meat-lovers will enjoy. It's become a staple in our household, and I’m sure it will be in your house too!

Once a great product, but no longer!!
This was my absolute favorite product from Gardein. However they recently changed there recipe. They are terrible now! You cannot taste the sauce at all. It's just dry, warm mush now. Very disappointed!

If you're thinking about getting this, just get it
Omg this is literally sooooo good!!!!! Please try this if you haven’t. I just throw it over a cup of rice and add some broccoli, the perfect meal! 10/10 this will be a consistent meal for me now on my grocery list

nice and crispy generic nuggety flavour
its nice. it has a generic nugget flavour. there are better vegan chicken tasing options that are closure to chicken in taste and texture, but I did enjoy the mix with the glaze.

New flavor is bad
Please CHANGE IT BACK! Something changed recently and it’s just awful. I’ve been buying this for YEARS and eat it at least once per week.
