No Chicken Piri Piri Pieces

Now usually Aldi's range of Plant based foods are great. The value is brilliant and it's a wide range. This however was disappointing. It was next to flavourless ☹ Had a little bit of heat and that's heat not to be confused with spicy flavour. A real shame. It won't stop me buying all the other great stuff but I'll pass on this one next time. Good value at 1.69 though.

These chicken pieces are fairly plain so they’re a great addition to dishes, in my opinion they require more seasoning which is fine once you know!

I love these. I think they are so handy to have in the fridge for lunches. I’ve mostly had them in wraps or salads or I’ve fried them up with some rice for a filling dinner. Texture wise they are soft and smooth. If you are looking for a chicken replacement that has the texture of chicken don’t bother with these. I personally have issues with meatier textures so this is perfect for me. Taste wise, I think they are a good base to add on to. You can taste the spices they add but they are mild. I have a feeling that without the spices the pieces themselves would be fairly bland. £1.75 for two 100g portions isn’t bad. 100g comes out at a lot so I reckon you could split a pack into three portions if you bulk your meal out with other things. #aldi #veganchicken #lunchideas
