To prepare, simply heat the plant-based chick'n in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned. You can also warm it in the microwave according to package directions. Once heated, it can be added to your favorite recipes.

Unlike traditional chicken, this plant-based version contains no animal products. It offers a similar savory profile but with a distinct texture that is often softer and more uniform. The pre-applied barbecue seasoning provides a consistent flavor that might differ from homemade marinades.
