Is there a good Vegetarian substitute for Chicken?

Question

What's it called?

Where can you get it?

Answer 1

good vegetarian alternative include soya chunks, tofu and various veggie alternatives (e.g. morning star, vegefarm, vegeking etc) - these may all be found in supermarkets or health stores.

Answer 2

Boca's Spicy Chick'n patties are my favorite!

I fnd other plain faux chicken to be blan.

Average grocery store carries it.

Answer 3

I heard there is vegetarian meat. I have never tried it though since I'm not the biggest fan of meat.

Answer 4

Portobello Mushrooms are great. They're these big mushroom that can substitute meat in a sandwhich for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. You can get them at most grocery stores like Ralphs, Albertsons, and Stater Bros.

Answer 5

Morningstar has some very good fake chicken. I think they have "chicken" patties, nuggets, and buffalo wings.

Answer 6

seitan!!! it's made from gluten - so not good for caeliacs.

seitan is awesome stuff.. if you can be bothered to make it yourself :P

Answer 7

There is always soy and tofu which are meat replacements though. Anyway, they are delicious! =]

Answer 8

Redwood do 'chicken' deli slices and 'chicken' pieces. They're a British company but there's  links on the website about availability in the US, Australia and Spain

Redwood's products are vegan; there are probably several similar vegetarian products

Answer 9

The "Quorn" products you can get in most supermarkets are very good! You can get chicken style pieces, mince, beef style pieces etc. You should try Tofu too!!

Answer 10

Yes.

Gardenburger Flame Grilled Chik’n

Gardenburger Buffalo Chik’n Wings

Boca Chik’n Patties

Boca Chik’n Nuggets

Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Chik’n Strips

I like them prepared in a frying pan, not a microwave. Any large grocery store should carry the Boca ones and possibly the Gardenburger ones. Whole Foods and your local health food stores are also good places to look.

Answer 11

I'm not sure what it's called, but you can buy vegetarian ''chicken'' slices at health foods stores.

The one I am thinking of is certified as vegan. I think firm tofu has quite a ''chickeny'' texture.

Try Holland & Barrett stores.

Answer 12

Chinese Grocery stores have Vegetarian  Chicken Drum Sticks (with wooden dowels in them) VegUSA' Veg Chicken Nuggets etc. Also Light Life has some Chicken Fajita Strips available at Health Food Stores like Whole Foods.

Answer 13

the brand i like is called "Morning Star Products". They have every kind of fake meat: from corndogs to chicken! And if you can't find that tofu cooked works just as well.
