Ultimate Chick'n Filets, 15 OZ
What You Should Know
Found in the frozen aisle among plant-based and breaded proteins, this ready-to-heat chick'n filet is an easy grab for weeknight dinners, game days, or a quick protein swap. It leans indulgent and comforting with a nostalgic fried-chicken vibe — crispy outside and chewy, meat-like inside. The long list of fractionated proteins, texturizers (methylcellulose, xanthan gum), emulsifiers, flavorings and colorants points to heavy industrial processing designed to mimic texture and extend shelf life (typical NOVA 4 features).
