A Guide to the Best Vegan Chicken Nuggets

Plant-based burgers dominate the meat-free aisle. But there’s one food that has captivated consumers of all ages for decades: chicken nuggets. Wrongfully accused of being just for picky kids, chicken nuggets are convenient and delicious (who says that only children should experience the artistic simplicity of a meal of nuggets, fries, and ketchup?). Like all plant-based foods, vegan chicken nuggets have gone through an evolution—from dry and fabriclike in their earliest iterations, to the juicy, crispy deliciousness of today. With so many options available now, where do you start?  We’ve got you covered. Here we rank the best vegan chicken nuggets. Picking the perfect dipping sauce is on you.
