Chicken substitute

[awesomlytwisted]

Has anyone heard of Chickette? I think it's made by Worthington. I've heard amazing things about this "chicken" product, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I'm thinking about asking my Co-op to order it, but I'm not 100% sure that it's vegan. Does anybody know?

Worthington's Meatless Chicken Slices contain milk and eggs. I'm looking on the site, but I don't see anything by the name of Chickette. Every other product with variant spellings of chicken contains "milk and egg ingredients":
Meatless Chicken Roll
Fried Chik'n with Gravy

FriChik chicken substitute

I'll keep looking. Maybe it'll turn up somewhere.

I've been looking there too, and I'm confused that it's not on the site or on the discontinued products list. However, the gomestic link above says that it's a frozen product and this store near me used to carry pretty much every Worthington Foods product and none of the frozen ones were vegan, so it's doubtful that this one would be the exception.

Boo. :( I wonder why this vegan family was all about it, then? *shrugs* I'll never find a good chicken. They all have eggs!

have you tried the Morningstar chick'n strips or the Boca chick'n patties (though those are only sometimes vegan depending on what kind your store carries: here's the vegan ones on their website: http://www.bocaburger.com/product_meatless/4.html, while the non-vegan ones are usually in like a tan box and their egg whites are one of the ingredients that there's less than 2% of)?

I thought that all of Morningstar's chicken had eggs?

I'm still transitioning to veganism. I'm 99% there but I still make mistakes, out of habit.

Thanks for the info. ^_^

all of Morningstar's breaded chicken products have eggs, but the strips don't: http://www.seeveggiesdifferently.com/product_detail.aspx?family=366&id=4971

if you don't like/can't find any of these products (my college's store only carries the egg-version of those Boca patties, it drives me crazy because they're really good and I always see them and am happy until I remember that they're the non-vegan kind), texture-wise I think seitan's a good chicken sub, and seasoning it with poultry seasoning would probably get you some of the taste

Oh, good. Thank you!

You're so sweet! I'm beginning to that it's been discontinued.
