Spicy Breaded Chicken-Style Goujons

They are coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture that offers a noticeable spicy kick. The goujons are pre-cooked and ready for heating, making them a convenient option for quick meals and snacks. They are typically found in the chilled or frozen section of grocery stores.
How people cook with it
- Added to salads
- Served in wraps
- As a side dish
- In sandwiches
To prepare, these goujons can be heated in an oven or air fryer until they are hot and crispy. For oven preparation, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions, usually around 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. Air frying is often quicker, resulting in a very crisp exterior. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving. They are best enjoyed immediately after cooking for optimal texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional chicken goujons, these are made entirely from plant-based ingredients, making them suitable for those avoiding meat. The spicy coating provides a distinct flavor profile that differentiates them from milder breaded alternatives.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused portion in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days of opening. If purchased frozen, keep them in the freezer until ready to cook, following the original packaging instructions.
