As the brand likes to say, Daring is “1000% not chicken,” but it sure looks, shreds, and tastes like it. Made with simple ingredients and available in four irresistible flavors, including Original, Breaded, Cajun, and Lemon & Herb, the plant-based poultry pieces are a must-try. We love adding these bites to homemade pasta dishes.
Field Roast
From the company that makes vegan sausages and deli slices, the Field Roast nuggets and wings definitely deserve a VegOut shout-out. The Classic Plant-Based Nuggets and Buffalo Wings always make our game day appetizer spread. We love them paired with celery sticks and dipping sauces or used as loaded chicken nacho toppers.
