Q: Can these be cooked in the microwave?
submitted by cfresh - 3 years ago
A: These aren't very good from the microwave. The texture is soft like most anything that has a breading. I recommend oven or, my fav, air fry!
submitted byElle - 1 year agoA: HI there. Great question. We've currently only tested these Tenders to be prepared in the conventional oven or air fryer. We do not recommend preparing them in the microwave. Have a great day!

Very rubbery, had a weird taste. And it was expensive for the amount of strips in the bag.

Absolutely revolting. I’ve never been so overcome by anger and disgust while eating something that I put down the food in question to immediately write a review. I only bought these because the morning star incogmeato tenders weren’t available (these are the best, and I was expecting something similar considering how expensive these things are) and I seriously regret my purchase. They tasted so nasty I had to remove them from the bun and just eat the bun/toppings on their own. I could only manage a few bites, they taste like the nasty vegan alternatives that were the only available options five years ago. Considering the other options on the market now, these are an embarrassment. Do not buy these unless you want to eat grisly, rubbery tasting hunks of crap!

The taste and texture is awful compared to others on the market. The price is definitely not worth the quality.

I used to buy these every week. I have spent hundreds on their products. And sadly I must now find an alternative due to the toxic chemical Titanium Dioxide. Such a shame. Please remove it, I don’t care how white the interior looks.
I honestly thought they couldn't mess this up

Bad flavor and texture, there are so many good plant based chicken nuggets that even though Gardein has failed for me on multiple items, I really thought they couldn't fail this.

Gross texture and weird flavor

The flavor isn't at all like chicken tenders, it's more like chicken soup or a chicken bouillon cube. It has a very strong chicken flavor in that sense, but not the flavor chicken tenders are supposed to have. The texture was also not great, though it was similar to some chicken tenders I had in the past, which is: wet, stringy, and chewy. I hate wet chicken as it feels raw, and although this isn't raw chicken, the texture was way too close to wet greasy chicken. Don't think I'll be trying these again.

This was accidentally given to me, and I assume they are regular chicken tenders. Started getting more curious as I was eating the last two and read the ingredients. All I can say is MIND BLOWN !!!! I'm hooked from now on. I do intermittent fasting, and I think this is the way to incorporate this product into my lifestyle .
From great to garbage

What happened?! I can’t afford them for a few months and now they just suck! What happened to the batter? It’s more like a frozen fish nugget now. Y’all sacrificed flavor over money and it shows. Well it tastes. I would really appreciate answers. The nugget inside even tastes like grease. How is that possible if I’m not deep frying it?

These are delicious. The texture is identical to a real piece of chicken. They’re really really good. You could serve them & no one would know the difference. It’s a good source of protein. I eat 1 or 2 with some veggies 🥦 & get completely satisfied.

I bought these last week and was really surprised. The texture and taste both are the closest to chicken than any product I have tried. The only fault I have is there should have been 9 tenders, however, my bag had 8.

Best ever plant-based checken

I've tried just about all brands of plant based chicken, and this Gardein one is BY FAR THE BEST! It's juicier, meatier, and tastier than the rest. I popped it in the microwave, and it came out perfect. The skin stayed on and wasn't soggy. I don't think I'll ever heat them in the regular oven. And no need for utensils or dipping sauce. Yummy!😋
Great texture and flavor, love, love

I love Gardein's ultimate line! Everything is perfectly seasoned, breaded and textured...like the real thing without all the slaughter. This is my favorite line and they should focus on this line and quit the others. Unfortunately it's also their pricier line but totally worth it. Definitely stock up when it's on sale!
I wish they would stop using titanium dioxide.

This also applies to all the Gardein Ultimate Chicken products. These (the tenders and filets) were just about my favorite food item, across the board, hands-down until we realized they had titanium dioxide as an ingredient. The product does not need titanium dioxide for color. I don't care how white the product is on the inside. It's not a safe ingredient, and even if there's an argument that the amount used is "safe," it's still not a necessary ingredient. Titanium dioxide is banned in the EU. We don't need it in these chicken products. I hope they can remove titanium dioxide from the ingredients so I can start buying the products once again.

I broil these in the toaster oven and they turn out great! Golden with a slight crisp. Drizzle balsamic glaze over them or cut them up into pieces and add to a salad. So yummy! The only con is the high cost.
Very Good

I liked these, I think if one is trying to eat more vegan or vegetarian, this is a very good choice my advice would be not to expect things to taste “ just like meat” this product has it’s own flavor and it’s good!
