Quorn Nuggets

Well, I did it to Kyle AGAIN! I served him a meat free alternative, didn’t tell him and he couldn’t tell the difference.

Hahaha mum wins the vegan food game yet AGAIN.

Not that I am vegan of course, I just find it funny when he can’t tell the difference.

I have made him air fryer lentil burgers, air fryer beyond meat beef burgers and the latest, air fryer quorn nuggets.

But to be fair, he has never tried quorn before and I just told him that I was testing out a new frozen food recipe for air fryer nuggets. Which technically, they are nuggets just of the quorn variety!

What Are Quorn Chicken Nuggets

Quorn chicken nuggets are basically a meatless chicken nuggets. They look the same as a chicken nugget but are meat alterative for those that don’t eat chicken.

If you placed a quorn nugget next to a chicken nugget you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

Though if you have not quorn before, then its very popular in the UK as a meat alternative and I notice for vegetarians and vegans are into the quorn rather than the tofu.

Do Quorn Nuggets Taste Like McDonalds?

Yes, they do. I would say they are just like the chicken nuggets at McDonalds, even the batter reminds me of McDonalds, which is weird to say when these are not deep fried.
