What You Should Know

You'd find this in the frozen or plant-based prepared foods section, grabbed for game nights, movie nights, or quick weeknight dinners as a buffalo-wing alternative. It delivers indulgent, nostalgic buffalo-wing vibes but the long ingredient list with binders and industrial additives (methylcellulose, natural flavors, dextrose, chemical leaveners) points to heavy formulation to mimic texture, color and shelf stability — typical of ultra-processed products.
