1/2 Price Coles RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast Schnitzel Plain or Garlic Herb Crumb 600g $5.25-$5.50 @ Coles

320

Essentially Extra Large chicken nugs but make for a quick and easy airfryer meal. Pre-empting the comments that if you just buy chicken breast and coat it yourself it’s cheaper and better quality. This is obvious. If that’s your jam and you have time for it this is not the deal for you. If you want a quick cheap low effort option this could be the deal for you.

Apologies in advance if this isn’t available in all regions. I tried to check but for some reason Coles wasn’t letting me change my pick up store.

  • what makes this a better product than the frozen ones?

    • Which frozen ones?

      This one let's you feel smug that you paid tax to the high priests of animal ag who now absolve you from the wholesale atrocities involved in getting these little chicky wicky nuggies into your ravenous i-need-my-meat-i'm-at-the-top-of-the-foodchain mouth.

      • the cheep cheeps are cheap cheap and tasty.

        Don't believe for a minute this cute little feathered fouls wouldn't eat you if they had a chance.

        Must be lonely up there on your high horse.

      • Ever considered that you're likely making people dig their heels in not going vego/vegan with the aggressive attitude?

        You've got a far better chance at getting people to eat less by posting a hot deal on chick peas or lentils and sharing a killer curry recipe

  • is this actual real single chicken origin solid chicken breast, just trimmed and crumbed, or is it "formed" chicken ike big nuggets?

    • +5

      I bought these recently, they were formed chicken.

    • Big chicken nuggets (formed) as per description. Pretty yum though.

    • +1

      The fact that they are all identically shaped and weigh the same tells you they are processed chicken. My guess is egg-layers that are past their egg-laying prime.

      Why you shouldn't eat too much of it: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/what-are-chicken-nuggets-…

    • They are formed, but they are significantly higher quality than say, frozen chicken nuggets and frozen chicken tenders. They have more of a meat feel.

      • I tried them a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised they tasted like real chicken

      • source?

        • My eyes, and tongue.

          • @BradH13: Shame your nose and sense of smell were not involved.

    If you just buy chicken breast and coat it yourself it’s cheaper and better quality😁😁😁

    • well it's certainly not cheaper (when have you gotten supermarket chooktits for $8.25/kg?), certainly won't be cleaner, not sure about the quality, probably no noticeable difference.

      • These Schnitzels are only 60% chook though. So breast/kilo is cheaper for the actual amount that is meat.

        • What’s the other 40%?

        • 60%? is not. meat is a lot denser & heavier then bread crumbs & air. but even at a volume level there's 80% meat.

          Chicken breast is $11/kg (bulk) again this cheaper. But remember you need to crumb this too, which is flour, eggs & crumbs. a single egg is $1. So there is no way you could make this for the price. Well unless you have chickens.

        • " 60% chook "
          How much of that being, chook nail?

      • Chicken flavour noodles even cheaper. Carb macros sorted.

      • Your kidding surely, yourself if no one else. The supermarket so called schnitzels are just inedible chicken mush .. fresh chicken breast floured, egged, crumbed and fried is in another league. You'll pay a little more … but you get what you pay for!

    • +3

      yes, they are much nicer, but so much work if you do the full seasoned flour, egg wash and crumbing and pan frying. I rarely crumb anything since the kids moved out. Can't be bothered…..I also rarely deep fry anything anymore either.

    • Agree… especially at only 60% chicken.

  • +1

    I got a couple of those, overcooked them of course.

    these type of things are way better than chicken nuggets these days. Chicken nuggets are more like mush inside when cooked now and so tasteless. Even the branded ones are pretty crap, incl Maccas and HJ. I used to get the seconds of the ones sold for Hungry Jacks (years ago) and KFC (seasoned tempura batter), but can't get them anymore so tried the Inghams ones when $10 1kg as I hadn't bought nuggets for ages….they are disgusting. Don't know what the Steggles ones are like.

    I use this type of thing (usually the Steggles ones when on special or Aldi….again, years ago could get the seconds of Steggles cheaply) for a quick dinner sometimes, and can do them as a parma, or slice in half horizontally and put in ham and swiss cheese and cook as a cheats cordon bleu….I serve with mushroom and garlic sauce.

  • why doesn’t coles sell steggles chicken breast schnitzels?

    • I mean just found out they do but I was thinking like the bags they sell at costco

  • -2

    They still grind male baby chicks to death for RSPCA approved chicken right?

    If you actually care about animal welfare, don’t eat chicken.

    • Love the RSPCA to explain how ethical it is to kill baby chicks!

      • and I presume none of them eat eggs, either.

  • I checked these when I was at Coles yesterday. They are "formed" meat, so just a big nugget. Not for me, thanks
