Guests are saying
The recent recipe change for these plant-based nuggets has sparked mixed reactions among guests. While some appreciate the crispy texture and flavor, many long-time fans express disappointment over the new taste and consistency. Guests highlight the ease of cooking, especially in an air fryer, and the nuggets' versatility as a quick meal option. However, the shift in flavor and texture has led to calls for the return of the original recipe, which many found superior.

Taste just like regular chicken nuggets
Love it, I had to do a diet where I couldn't eat meat and this was an amazing alternative I didn't even air fry it or nun just straight 4 on a plate and microwave and didn't even flip them they are so good I have no idea what everyone leaving bad reviews is crying about, the point of this is that it's supposed to replace chicken and it's doing exactly that ,I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference which was so nice loved them I'm not even on the diet anymore and I still am going to buy them the macros were nice as well

They’ve gone down hill.
New recipe is awful, i went from buying 2-3 bags a week of regular/buffalo to not purchasing at all over the past year. Most disappointing thing is most all loyal customers have said this & they’ve done nothing to bring it back. Also, bring back the riblets.

hot dog nuggets
Gross weird flavoring. I use to eat these regularly (since college in the early 2000s- yeah I'm an old school veg head) until they changed recipes like a year. Bought a bag recently to see if I was wrong NOPE they're gross. I could smell the weird meat flavor before I opened the bag ( it was sealed and I could smell it??!!). That should have been a red flag. Its like spiced with hot dog water so disgusting. I will not be buying again!

Best frozen nuggets
These are the best nuggets I’ve ever had. The only way I make them is in the air fryer and they come out great each time.

good alternative
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nutrition of the product is good. Although I don't love the texture and consistency of the nugget. The taste could be better but otherwise very good alternative.

Hate the new recipe and new texture
These WERE one of my safe foods and I used to buy these every week, but the new recipe is horrendous. They are flavorless and the texture is like every other dry cardboard chicken alternative on the market. PLEASE bring back the old recipe. Will no longer be purchasing :(

New texture is awful.
The new texture grosses me out to an extreme degree. I can no longer eat these. I really loved the previous versions.

These used to be the best, now they are the worst.
As everyone keeps saying, the new recipe is terrible. I miss the old ones so much. Have been buying and trying every other brand since MorningStar ruined what was once mine, and many others', favorite vegan "chicken" product on the market. I have not and will not buy again until they change them back. Please change them back, they used to be a staple on my grocery list.

Old and new recipe are great
Love these! I’m not vegan or vegetarian but I really enjoy these to cut back on meat and my boyfriend doesn’t even know they’re not real chicken! The old recipe was good too. But the new one is awesome! I make them in the air fryer longer than it says on the package. About 15 minutes! They are so crispy and delicious

no flavor with the new recipe.
don’t bother buying anymore. they changed the recipe again and it’s beyond flavorless. this company really loves to nuke their own products. literally zero flavor, all of the previous flavor is gone. clearly trying to cut back on costs

Inedible.
The new recipe is awful. "New and improved" dear heavens no. Please bring back the old recipe. Like everyone else, I've eaten these for years. So long that I ate them before you purchased the small company that previously made them! (Early '90s.) Happily, they tasted the same until now. They are awful. Really bad. I'm now taking books out of the library to learn to make my own nuggets and bacon. I certain can't do worse.

Disappointed. Change the recipe back!
I've been buying these for a few months now, and I've eaten them almost every day. I'm unbelievably disappointed with this recipe change. The breading is too crumbly, and the chik'n is dry. I will no longer be buying these unless they change the recipe back.

not buying morning star anymore- awful new recipe
I’ve been a vegetarian since birth. My mom started feeding me morning star products when I was a toddler. In my elementary school years, morning star products gave me an opportunity to look “normal”, eating “normal” chicken nuggets and “normal” bacon. I've been eating them ever since. However, I’ve noticed a recent change. The chicken nuggets that have always been my favorite, regardless of how many brands I’ve tried, now taste like every other gross chicken alternative out there. I really hate these new recipe changes, please change them back.

bring back old recipe
here to piggy back off everyone and say bring back the old recipe! I've been vegan for many years and these used to be my go-to quick meal but the texture is different now, and they're just not as good :(

What’s Wrong With Your Creators!!!
You changed the ingredients and taste of these. Use to be one of my favorites for years. Not anymore! Now you have discontinued the Incognito Chicken Tenders. This became my favorite after the fiasco with the Chicken Nuggets! Why do you continue fixing things that are GOOD???

Bring back the old recipe as an alternative!
I miss the old recipe!!! I don’t usually take the time to go review or complain like this, but I have multiple times now not bought your nuggets and then after a while thought “huh we haven’t made nuggets much lately” bought them again, only to be reminded when I take a bite why I stopped buying them. They are way too salty now and the texture (while more chicken like) is not good. I’m not even a vegetarian but that’s why I bought the old nuggets—because they taste better than cheap processed chicken. I appreciate that you want to go vegan, and if that had been possible without a big loss in flavor, I’d have applauded. But now, I’ll potentially just buy regular chicken, since I don’t want my kids eating that much salt. Or I’ll turn to a competitor to see if anyone else makes good veggie nuggets that we all like. If I’m behind the times and there is a classic veg-but-not-vegan version available, can you let me know? I will ask my local grocery store to stock it.
