I Successfully Tricked 10 People with this REALISTIC VEGAN Chicken

Thanks to Outer for sponsoring this video!

I've wanted to make this video for a while... vegan chicken is finally there.. 100% mimicked in my opinion.. but any test I did would be looked at as my opinion and I didn't want that, so I invited some friends and neighbors, some you might know to get their opinion.. BUT anytime you tell someone they are eating "vegan food" there is a stigma, So I wanted to remove that by telling them we were doing a test between real chicken and fake chicken. I wanted to see which vegan chicken tastes more like regular chicken... and it worked.

The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

Legend has it, JP has never washed his hands

LOVE THIS VIDEO for so many reasons! JP's enthusiasm is unmatched! I can't believe you took all the breading off hahah! I do the spoon pour like that so people can see the ingredient a bit more lol

Honestly know which brand I’m going to buy thanks to this taste test

[margarett_b]

I really love the fact you didn't just make a taste test but also showed us an amazing way to pimp up ANY store-bought chicken with some homemade sauces! Plus, you made this experiment very fair for each brand even though you had to spend nearly 3 years in the kitchen to do so :D But at the end of the day, I am just glad you had such a great time at that party!
.
Anyways, sending you lots and lots of love!
Have a great weekend!

Great way of seeing what people actually think of these vegan products. Such a sense of fun and togetherness too, nice to see supportive friends helping you two out. This really suits your channel.

Just want those that have been asking how I'm doing to know that my cancer has NOT spread!!!! Thank you for all of you prayers and helpful ideas. Thank you so much!!! So chemo is next week!!!! Thank you Mark and monica for some great recipes that I truly believe have helped me!!! Thank you!

This was a lot of fun to watch. I do personally feel that a lot of companies put the flavors into the breading so even though I was initially surprised that all breading was removed for the experiment, it makes complete sense. I’m glad it was really fun for everyone

interestingly, Quorn have been making meat analogues from fungal protein since the 80s, and has been pretty popular in the UK for decades. I'm not sure why it never took off in the US, but it's funny to hear it being talked about as the "future"

I don't mind red meat and chicken in their vegan versions, but the one thing I just can't stop having is fish and anything from the sea. I'd love you to keep trying to make the perfect salmon!

The 'Honey' mustard recipe I use is 2tbsp vegan mayo, 1tbsp Dijon mustard, 2tsp molasses (or brown sugar, 1tsp soy sauce.

When I used to live in Taiwan, I used to buy fresh made vegan meat products at fresh market every morning or afternoon with a very reasonable price, now I move to Malaysia, vegan products, including tempeh and tofu is not that cheap and mostly are not real ingredients, and to buy many of those vegan ready meat is ridiculously expensive and none actually taste that good, always too dry.

What you did with the new breading really help to make it better, it is a hard work but it's worth it.

I'm now making my own vegan meat too, thanks to many of your video, I learned so much how to make it tasty.

This is just one of those things that shows you that when you tell people it’s vegan or if they go in knowing it’s vegan they already made up their mind that it’s nothing like it. But when they don’t know they don’t really know (most times).

That said, it’s probably good you all know if anyone has a specific food allergy before tricking people into eating something lol

It’s like the episode of the Simpsons when Lisa is pressured to eat meat and she runs into the Kwik-E-Mart, chomps down on a hotdog and then Apu tells her he switched them to tofu dogs and no one knew the difference.

I think when it comes to processed meat foods like burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, faux meat does a good job. It’s the whole cuts that companies like Meati are working on getting good enough that people will choose without feeling like they have to “sacrifice” flavor, etc.

Thank you for not tricking people into eating something. As someone with food allergies, it really bothers me when people do that. ❤️

[shonasaulsberry]

You are so underrated. I'm vegan 6 years now and I just love how you prove how awesome and innovative it is and can be. Thank you! I can't wait til you reach a million, you deserve it.

[jessellife]

Been waiting for this for days! So excited to see how you came up with this. I feel like chicken is the funkiest faux meat. Always smells weird, looks weird, or has a funky texture. This look amazing!

You said that KFC uses buttermilk and egg for breading the chicken. I worked for KFC for two years as a chef and we never did that... just chicken and secret recipe flour.
Or is this all dehydrated into the flour itself?
Btw, props on the amazing audio on this video. Too many channels focus on the video and forget completely about the audio aspect.

[sehatisejiwa]

Absolutely realistic! Really looks like a real chicken breast

[camhowelse]

Great video and title choice! :) very thoughtful and well done :)

[scerb]

So glad you shouted out Meati! I got some of those too and they were awesome!!! Vegan Reddit was amazed. Lol

I'm also very interested about the mycelium one : I hope it's the best one 👌

It's good that you tell people there's vegan chicken on the table (I assume your friends would know nonetheless) as, some people can have strange and unique allergies...
I've read some threads on reddit about things going sour because people were *literally* tricked into eating a vegan meat and they couldn't handle one of the ingredients (I think it was the seitan) which ended up for them at the hospital.
Yes, almost no chance or slim to none it happens but, it's always better to know it's a thing
