There was an anon a few weeks ago that was looking for the best uncooked frozen tendies. I have tried quite a few and I believe pic related are the best..highest quality, best flavor. Just wanted to report in with my findings.

if they're uncooked, how does the breading stay on the chicken?

It stays really crispy, I fried them and oven and air fried them and it stays good. There have been some brands I have tried that get kinda nasty and some that get too hard.

That doesn't answer my question. By what mechanism does the breading remain attached to the meat before cooking?

>> No.20327955

It's frozen on there. I really don't understand your question. It's battered and then flash frozen.

Don't know why you wouldn't just par fry a batch of homemade for when you want them

I think I understand his question. Let me explain. It says on the package that it is uncooked. Uncooked means it's raw. If it is raw it is supposed to look like raw chicken. How your pic uncooked and not just frozen?

I think that these Bell & Evans are the best, they're a bit more expensive than the rest but they blow the shit out of everything else.
Oops, not uncooked.

The ones on the package are cooked (the final product). This is the consistancy while frozen. If you let them thaw out on the counter, the breading is raw breading.

This is raw chicken.

The ones in the package is frozen.

That's suspicious and weird looking, like something to be found at some carnival.

How do I know that chicken was never frozen and thawed out

>> No.20327999

>>20327986
Buying raw chicken is different than buying frozen chicken. Frozen chicken implies that it has been cooked and frozen. Raw chicken implies that it was never cooked. Raw chicken looks different than frozen chicken bought from stores.

Given the distances, unless you own some chicken farm you probably want them to be frozen before they get to you.

OP if I ask for this at the grocery store am I going to get escorted out (again)?

Also appreciate the rec, I’ll keep an eye out for these.

Do you cook them or eat them fresh out of the freezer?

Costco brand are great

It's just flour, spices and some sort of edible glue-like material to keep it sticking on the chicken meat.

That's probably how the batter sticks to the chicken.

Chicken + batter (maybe with some paprika or something red/orangeish for color) + par-fry to set the batter into a chunk.

Then flash-freeze it. Inside chicken raw. Outer batter cooked just enough to hold together as entire unit.

You buy it frozen, and whether you deep fry it, air-fry it, or bake it, you get the fried effect -- the breading steams the chicken inside, and any moisture given off by the chicken is absorbed by the inner layer of the crust.
