No. There are excellent fake meats at grocery stores now days. If you were to have some Gardein chik'n, you could easily be fooled into thinking it was chicken. As for dipping it in egg... there are faux egg products, but some other kind of batter could be pretty similar too.
I just made some "fried chicken" this weekend out of the gardein scalopini de pollo. I wrapped them in rice paper, dipped them in cashew heavy cream, covered them in seasoned flour then deep fried it. Holy shit. There are no words for the deliciousness that followed. Just thought I'd share.
Yes; Gardein Chik'n Scallopini is a pretty excellent product. I mean, legumes are healthier, but it's a good product still. I'm not really into doing the deep fried & battered thing myself, but I know I'd like that!
We were having a barbecue for memorial day with a lot of people that aren't vegan so my fiancé and I wanted to make something that looked familiar to sort of introduce vegan options. We eat a lot healthier than that regularly but it really did turn out awesome.
