Cicken fillets

Have to agree that chicken thighs are a lot tastier than fillets. Many years ago, I used to use Quorn chicken chunks and they weren't too bad if you disguised them in a curry sauce but I never got to grips with the minced version, the very thought of it still makes me feel nauseous!

I've informed HQ ...

I buy from Lldl, or morrisons, Asda, Co op but never noticed any crunchy bits I rarely eat other meat Chicken, turkey or Quorn mince which I really like as it takes the taste of whatever it's cooked with it goes in anything from curry, stir fries to shepherds pie. (no fat )

I read through this before I came to the post. As a result I googled how animals are slaughtered in the UK
Oh I so wish I hadnt

DD stopped eating meat for a while so I tried to find alternative good sources of protein and did try Quorn. It comes in so many many different forms and benefits from you adding herbs and spices, say if you were to use the mince for chilli or part quorn and beef as a way of introducing it to meat eaters and want to eat less fat/ red meat. Now I buy burger type products those with a southern style coating, with salad makes a quick tea for nights I am late home

I think chicken breast on the bone with skin and wing still attached is better. Our Asda does not sell it like this any more but I have found a butcher who sells huge, organic chicken breasts and no added water! One does two meals for me.

A friend used to make chicken schnitzels. You bash the chicken fillets flat with a hammer or suchlike, then egg, breadcrumbs and a quick fry. They were delicious.
Perhaps that could get rid of the hard bits?
We have our own chickens (husband kills them etc) and they have a completely different texture to bought ones, which we have occasionally. Not so soft, but more flavour.

Same as free range organic I expect tricia
