Gardein’s Ultimate Plant-Based Chick’n Nuggets aim to recreate the classic breaded chicken nugget, focusing on both crunch and protein content. While the texture and mouthfeel come surprisingly close to the real thing, the flavor is overly artificial and unappealing. This is more of a curiosity buy—something to try once to satisfy nostalgia rather than a product you’d reach for again.
