Would leave 0/5 if I could. Honestly disgusting and the cardboard flavour absorbed everything I tried to cover or marinade it with. Worse than quorn.

This was gross. The breaded nuggets are essentially rolled up deli style meat that gets super chewy once baked. You can actually see it unroll while eating, weird.

Be daring
I am not vegan or a vegetarian. But thanks to my children, I am open to try new foods that fall into those categories. I just tried the breaded Daring Chicken and it tastes better than actual chicken! I had gotten out catsup for dipping and didn’t even need or want it. My husband put it in a stir fry and he loved it too. And he loves meat. This product is the reason to be daring! Try it!

Hi Linda,
Thank you for the amazing review. I am encouraged to hear that you and your husband are willing to try alternative meats and explore different foods. The breaded option is amazing and has enough flavor that you don't need dipping sauces! I'd love for you to try the other non breaded flavors too!
Excellent product

Hi Steffi,
Thanks for the review. I absolutely love the cajun pieces! I encourage you to explore the other flavors too!
I absolutely LOVE Daring products
I absolutely LOVE Daring products. I was disappointed when ordering online and expecting large bags (to reduce waste) and then receiving a bazillion small bags. The whole point of ordering online was to try to use less plastic than buying a ton of smaller bags in the store :(

Hi Aakash,
Thanks for the feedback. Dynamic is a great word to use! We want daring to easily substitute in for its animal-based counterpart. The original and lemon & herb flavors bring in a nice variety when cooking.

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for the feedback. It means a lot to us. All the flavors are so unique and can pair with any cuisine you're craving. I suggest giving the breaded a try if you like a nice crunch!

2nd order from Daring
This is my second online order from daring foods. This time, I ordered using their Black Friday sale.
The package came in a matter of a few days and both the lemon & cajun flavors were great. I gifted one bag to a friend and they told me they enjoyed it.

My wife and I have been vegan for four years and have finally found our chicken substitute. Will be buying in bulk for as long as I live.

Hi Taylor,
Thanks for those awesome words! We're honored and delighted that you'll be part of our daring community for years to come! I encourage trying all the other flavors as well to add into your weekly routine.
This is really, really, really good stuff.
Okay. I was skeptical, very skeptical of the taste, texture and quality. My wife was skeptical. My mother-in-law was skeptical. After we cooked the cajun package and tried the pieces, we were pleasantly surprised. Wow...great taste, texture and quality. This was worth the purchase.

Hi Mitchel,
Thanks for the reply! Texture is something that we really focused in on while creating the daring product. We wanted to mimic the feeling of eating real chicken without actually eating it!

Hi Mema,
That is amazing to hear! I personally love the spice of our cajun pieces. Such a KICK! You should definitely try the original breaded pieces if you like nuggets!
Amazing
Such a delicious product. I've been waiting for a chicken substitute that really hits the mark and is also gluten-free. Daring has really succeeded on all levels.
I would love to see a gluten-free breaded option as well someday!
Can't wait to see what else daring comes up with.

Couldn’t find in stores and decided to order online. The quickness, the proper packaging, and most of all- the DELICIOUS TASTE, was right on time. Awesome. Daring.

It is amazing how close your product…
It is amazing how close your product tastes, feels and looks like real chicken! I went vegan to lower my cholesterol and stayed vegan because I hate the thought of harming animals. I hope more people get turned on to your products.

Hi Lili,
Thanks for the amazing feedback! We worked hard to create a product that mimicked the taste, texture and peelability of animal- based protein. We're so proud that you're apart of our daring community.
We LOVE Daring non-chicken
We LOVE Daring non-chicken. It tastes great and really satisfies my need for chicken (I’m a fairly new Vegan). Our favorite is the regular. Tried the breaded this time and it is good, too.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the amazing feedback! We want daring to replace the needs for animal-based protein. I encourage you to try the cajun and lemon & herb too!
AMAZING fake chicken
AMAZING fake chicken! Really, the best I've ever had.
I appreciate that it didn't ship with styrofoam, but the insulation seemed excessive. Textiles may be hard to recycle and there was a lot of it.
