I would guess this is a formed chicken product rather than breast pieces. Kinda like a nugget in tender shape. But it’s 63% chicken (many supermarket nugs are 50%) and it’s made in Australia.

Update:
People wondering what this is like. It’s a formed chicken product, but within this category it’s one of the better ones. I do believe that it’s a decent proportion of chicken breast in the meat component, and a higher component of meat than many equivalent low cost options. See photo here
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/175189/120886/c4ed961d…

If I was to choose a processed chicken option on quality I would choose the Woolworths karage chicken breast bites (not reconstituted chicken in these), but these are $9 for 300g or $7 when on special, so a different price point.

This product is $2.20 in NSW/ACT/QLD, $3.50 in SA/WA/NT, and is not on sale in VIC/TAS.

    • bargainpersona on 11/04/2025 - 14:31

      about time

      What do you mean? There have been labelling requirements in place for years and years (at least since 2016 - see 2.2.1—8 'Information about raw meat joined or formed into the semblance of a cut of meat').

      The manufacturers aren't stating "This is a formed product." just for fun.

      Australia has pretty good food labelling laws. Although it seems many people aren't really interested enough to read the packaging anyway.

    These are actually one of the better ones out there currently, actually looks and tastes like chicken, not mushy rubbish.

    Ingahams used to be the best years ago which were real tenders, but in the name of customers wanting uniform shapes. BS.

    Unfortunately there's no budget options out there that are real chicken anymore, this is the closest i've found.

    • pnt on 09/04/2025 - 09:07

      The only affordable one with real (unformed) chicken I have found is Aldi (crumbed chicken tenders). Everything affordable (and un-affordable too) in colesworth changed into formed chicken over the years. I figure Aldi will change eventually too, so I need to enjoy it whilst it lasts.

        • SpainKing on 09/04/2025 - 14:05

          Not quite, if the 37% was somehow exclusively crumbs, this is how the maths breaks down -
          400 x 0.37 = 148
          148 ÷ 100 = 1.48
          1.48 x 400 = 592 calories

    You could just buy some raw chicken tenders and marinade it with whatever spices you like. Coat it with panko, some oil and in the airfryer for 15 mins.

    • morse on 10/04/2025 - 06:43

      You could but in that process you need to trim and take the tendon out of the tenderloin. Coat them, and clean up. This is a convenience product, you don’t eat it when you want the best wholesome home cooked dinner. Also tenderloins are $19/kg at Woolies.

      • dlovep on 10/04/2025 - 16:19

    Don’t get me started on that formed chicken bullshit. Those rubbery, uniform, suspiciously symmetrical nuggets of sadness that taste like someone whispered "chicken" near a vat of beige paste. It's not food, it's marketing with breadcrumbs.

    I hate them. They’re the culinary equivalent of a handshake from a bloke who won’t make eye contact—empty, insulting, and vaguely unsettling. You bite in and it’s all texture, no soul. One is dinner, the other is a crime against poultry.

    It’s not even meat half the time, it’s meat product. A slurry of beaks, arseholes, and whatever fell off the processing line. Pressed into shape like a (profanity) Lego brick and fed to people who deserve better. Actual food has bones, texture, life. Formed chicken is for people who’ve given up—or worse, think they haven’t.

    If you wouldn’t trust your nan to cook it, don’t trust a factory to press it into a shape and tell you it’s dinner. Give me a real thigh, crispy skin, proper flavour. Formed chicken? In the bin with the rest of the lies.

      The above rant is a ChatGPT formed comment.

      Easy to spot because ChatGPT can't decide whether to use a straight apostrophe ' or a right single quotation mark ’ (which we don't even have a key for on our keyboards)

      Formed chicken is better than AI formed comments!

      • SpainKing on 09/04/2025 - 14:12

          ChatGPT doesn't know what it thinks.

          I asked it to "write a humorous rant against formed chicken"

          I then opened a new chat, copied and pasted the output from the previous chat, and asked it if it was written by AI.

          The response was:

          If I had to guess—this was likely written by a human, or by an AI under very tight, specific prompting and maybe edited a bit by a human after. It has too much personality to be a straight-up, unedited AI first draft.

          edit:

          They’re the culinary equivalent of a handshake from a bloke who won’t make eye contact—empty, insulting, and vaguely unsettling.

          If you keep opening new chats and giving it the same prompt, it really seems to like using "culinary equivalent" in it's responses.

          "culinary equivalent of a handshake" even came up. Coincidence that @discord5000 also used that weird comparison?

          • Formed chicken is the culinary equivalent of a badly cast superhero movie.

          • Ah, formed chicken—the culinary equivalent of a group project where everyone contributed something, but no one really knows what, and the end result somehow got a C-minus and salmonella.

          • So, to everyone who's ever dared to put a formed chicken nugget in their mouth: Congratulations, you've just eaten the culinary equivalent of an identity crisis.

          • Oh, formed chicken, you deceptive, soulless monstrosity! You are the culinary equivalent of a counterfeit designer handbag—sure, it looks like chicken, but there's something profoundly wrong about you.

          • Oh, formed chicken. Let’s talk about it, shall we? The culinary equivalent of a bad high school play: you know it’s supposed to be something, but it’s so far from the original idea, it’s almost an insult to the art form.

          • SpainKing on 09/04/2025 - 15:24

            @HomeAlone: You make a strong point, its response to your experiment was very similar to what it said to me. It almost felt as if it was gushing or acting humble at the original comment, saying things like how good the analogies and sentence structure were. I was inclined to believe it because of the use of the word "bloke"

            You'd think AI would be better at recognising something created by itself

          The thing with ChatGPT is that it doesn't stick to using just one. It uses both of them interchangeably within the same response.

          In one sentence it can say "They’re" while in the next sentence it can say "They're".

          It's pretty easy to spot ChatGPT if you know what to look for. On top of everything I've already mentioned, another giveaway is it's heavy use of tricolons.

      Like you say I reckon frozen salmon (or other quality frozen fish) is good. Otherwise laundry products do go on sale but if you can get 90% off already discounted, the 50% off prices are still kinda high. Shampoo, bodywash, etc if not overprice on ubereats. If it's unlimited you may as well get as much pasta, rice, tinned foods etc as well, as much as you can use before expiry. Coffee, tea etc. Batteries. Pest control stuff. Underwear and socks.

      Where does one get an unlimited use 90% off with no cap on ubereats?

        I think they might refering to 90% discount of the monthly uber one cost ie $10 down $1. Uber offers this sometimes when you try and cancel.

        Yeah noticed frozen seafood rarely goes on discount so is nice to stock up and sodastream refill bottles too

        You get them by stacking and using different generous promos they offer… Little loophole, that is technically 100% free under X amount

    400g of blended chicken anus for $2.20? My bank account says "yes!".

      sometimes you get lucky at the end of the production run and just end up with all anus. looks like a pack of o-rings from bunnings. great jaw strengtheners
