I didn't originally plan to post a review on these - I was just dying to try them - but when they came out of the oven looking and tasting so beautiful, I figured I'd snap a photo to share with you all. Gardein just released 3 new items; these Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers, Mandarin Orange Crispy Chicken, and Sweet and Tangy BBQ Wings. I cooked them in the oven, straight on the rack, and my only tiny complaint is that some of the skin stay attached to the rack when I removed them. Otherwise, these things were FANTASTIC!!!
I made myself a little spicy BBQ sauce to accompany them which consisted of Trader Joe's BBQ Sauce, TJ's Jalapeno Hot Sauce, a little balsamic vinaigrette, a smidge of dijon mustard and a tiny bit of A1. It turned out to be an absolutely amazing tasting experience and best of all they were on sale at Ralph's for $3.50! Afterwards I found out that Ralph's has a coupon book in stores right now that allows you to buy them for ONLY $3.00 each!!! I would recommend picking some up immediately! I myself will be spending the next week at a gorgeous beachfront property in San Clemente with many of my omnivore friends BBQing every day, so I will be making a trip to Ralphs on the way down to stock up heavy on these and other magnificent Gardein products. LOVE!!!
Have you ever tried any of Gardein's products? What are your favorite vegan "chicken" fingers?

I really like the seven grain crispy tenders, definitely the best "chicken" fingers I have tried. I also tried the buffalo hot wings a few weeks ago and they were real good!
I need these. :D
i'm gunna try these. The last time i was a vegetarian i ended up getting very sick. Could be because my diet consisted of mostly mac & cheese & pasta lol oh the starch! But my tastes are changing & i'm so much less picky lately soooo why not =]
Gardein is AMAZING :D
Omg they look delish I so need to try them.
I don't think I've ever tried any of Gardein's products before. I usually just get the Morning Star chicken strips/nuggets/patties. These look good too, though!
I'm not a vegan, but I still love their products!
I've never heard of this brand, but I'm definitely going to check it out! Those crispy fingers look amazing!!
When I discovered these I decided to try them and was really surprised at how good they were. Worth the money, definitely
I don't think they are just for vegans! These things are so good I think ANYONE would like them, and if they don't and prefer mechanically separated chicken paste instead - they are nuts. I think the breading is actually my favorite part. So much flavor, so little calories, and TONS of protein! I can eat the whole bag for less than it costs to get McDonalds nuggets and its 100x healthier too. What can be better?
@xSerendipity713x@xanga - No. You HAVE to try Gardein. You will never go back to Morningstar again. :p
yikes whats in them?
I MUST try this brand. I've never even heard of it. I live in a very small town, where I'm lucky the local Kroger is stocked with Smart Choice, Boca and Morning Star brands for meat free meats. Sadly, that's about it though. I just checked the Gardein website, and I want it all! Yum. Thanks for posting this.
