[@eddiehateseverything]

MSG gang in the house.

[@DeniseNicole3]

Looks yummy !!! Btw grapeseed oil is the best for frying ANYTHING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@aleh_ge]

Holy shit! You aren’t wrong. Just had these nuggets fried in grape seed oil... I’m soo satisfied!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I’ll have to try it!

[@jermainepalmer2087]

I’m just here to take notes 📝

[@HappiestVeganonEarth]

That tip about using a fork when going into the wet bowl and keeping your hand dry is genius! Total game changer

[@soleneisconbi7302]

You could also try wet hand/dry hand technique. Good for when a fork might break apart the nugget.

[@itslalabilal]

Dude, your channel is F-ing Amazing! I made your Queso recipe & it was so delicious.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome, that rules, thank you!

[@LightChannelAction]

I know this video is older, but words can't describe how much I love your channel. You're doing so much for the vegan cause by making these incredible recipes. The vibes in every video are immaculate as well, I actually laughed when you went "I'm JOKING, we're gonna add 2 tablespoons of cayenne!" Much love to you Burger Dude, the world is a better place with you in it

[@MandaAndrea]

Apricot preserves were always my favorite for pb & j sandwiches😊 That texture is spot on going to try this too but not as spicy though LOL

[@palomeroantiguo6720]

Super happy to have found you on instagram and KZbin. Ty for these amazing mouth watering burgers and for explaining it all how you make them great beautiful clear pictures and channel we wish you the best success. 🙏🏻🌱ty for having compassion for the animals and for being vegan . 💪🏻🥗🌱

[@TheeBurgerDude]

And thank you!

[@wormsy2222]

I’m gonna attempt this on my day off. Thanks Burger Dude!

[@ProfessorPanyck]

Looks incredible, I've been playing around with some vegan chicken recipes and may have to give this a go. Franks XXXtra Red Hot was a game changer for my wings if you haven't tried it.

[@kbmomyluv4]

Another great recipe! They look delicious.

[@venamyna1990]

The one thing I was thinking I missed from not eating meat WAS McDonald's chicken nuggets specifically, I cant wait to try this out!! ( I ended up cutting meat because it doesnt feel right in my stomach and I also have real weird and terrible nightmares)

[@nattigabrielle]

This channel should be way bigger👏👏👏

[@oliverlacey3765]

I dont know how you knew I wanted these! Your a game changer bro! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@andreachez2227]

This recipe looks amazing! I’m from Chicago, and I miss Italian beef so so so much. I’d love to see an Italian beef recipe!

[@4cfaith]

Godis Vegan garden have a recipe on this one ☝️

@@4cfaith thank you!

[@suicune2001]

I do something similar with nugget sauce. I use BBQ sauce, honey, and cayenne pepper. I'll have to find something else to use instead of honey but I'm sure maple syrup or something similar will do just fine.

[@kogbechie123]

omg devillishly divine! 😋

[@jultherese1894]

This is awesome!! Love your videos

[@ambrosiarose]

These look amazing!! We will definitely be giving these a try. Can I ask a weird question? For using tofu, why do you have to freeze and thaw it twice? What does this process do to the tofu? Thanks for posting!

[@biowired]

it gives the tofu a tighter texture, due to some weird science thing -- it basically make it more meaty!

[@thecerealsong]

Water expands when it freezes, and tofu is full of water. The freeze/thaw changes the texture of the tofu, giving it a chewier, more chicken-like texture.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yup, what Rosie and Stacey said. It just makes the Tofu have a more "meaty" texture. In a pinch I've frozen and thawed once and it was fine, but twice is twice as nice :)

[@ambrosiarose]

Thank you all! Thats so cool. Bill Nye voice: Science rules!

[@joanabatista8374]

am I the only one unsure if I should freeze it in the package or already out of it?

[@BetteTwain]

Just made these 😳 they are amazing.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice!!!

[@angierodriguez7383]

These look soooo good! 🤤

[@garrettburger4164]

topp notchhh!!

[@missinglink_eth]

Getting Chef John vibes!

[@rhyam737]

These were so good 🤤 Full disclaimer I haven’t had McD’s nuggs in like 20 years so idk if these nuggs are exact BUT to my mouth these taste exactly like Plant Power’s nuggs for all my SoCal folks. And I’m pretty sure Plant Power styles their nuggs after McD’s. Anyway these are the most perfect nuggets and they go so so so well with therburgerdude’s delicious Kimchi Mac n Cheese. ❤️

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome!! Thank you so much! Glad you dug 'em!

[@72572]

Bro you have 0 dislikes. Keep it up

[@artemis5397]

Heeeey it's my favorite vegan who doesn't know me but I don't care. Great vid!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

haha thanks!

[@kaethe__kerosin]

I recommend a new name for your channel: "The batter boy". The nuggies look greaaaaat

[@Felalisha88]

Mmk because these looked amazing! I attempted to make them. They don’t look so orange and aren’t as crispy! What did I do 😩 I mean they taste yummy though haha but I love the crispness

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Hmm, if you made them the way I did then I don't know! Making sure the oil is at the right temp and resting on a wire rack are key for crispiness.

[@veganforlife1203]

Very nice👍💓💕

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

You and I have the same level of desired heat in spicy foods. I will have to try this recipe soon, thanks for the vid!

[@Ana-dq7lw]

🤣the MSG shade 😂

[@biowired]

YESSSS dude im so making these. fucking epic munchies food right here

[@andypsolomon]

The Nugget @ 3:43 looks like South Carolina

[@ctcentralinfo]

Off topic, do you have a good beer batter onion ring recipe, and do you use any specific brand of near beer to make it?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yes, and I'm making a video to go along with it soon! I prefer a lighter ale, rather than a dark beer. Here's the recipe! www.theeburgerdude.com/post/beer-battered-onion-rings

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Oh and you can use soda water instead of beer too, but any non-alcoholic beer that's not too dark should work fine!

[@cktlynscktlyns2355]

Why do you that specific gardein chicken?

[@jonprc]

Late to the game on this one. But is this the only recipe where you dredge dry then wet? I feel like I've always seen you(and others) end in the dry. This texture looks great and I'd flip the order for other things as well.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yeah it results in a more tempura like batter. I watched a few McNuggets copycat videos and this seems to be the way to go to get the kind of texture that McNuggets got!

[@jonprc]

@@TheeBurgerDude Gotcha. That does make sense. I've got some tofu on a second freeze that I'll get into tomorrow

[@dianereilly3978]

Have you ever tried this recipe in an air fryer? Thanks

[@TheeBurgerDude]

It won't work since the batter is wet on the outside, but I have a few air fryer recipes on my blog and a lot of my fried chick'n recipes have an air fryer option.

[@Hebrewesss]

Mmm

[@Kelly-se8ee]

Could you do these in an air fryer?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

No because the batter will be too wet. You could try reversing the dredging order or you could use my air fryer recipe for the Doritos fried Chick’n video.

[@Crispy22]

half the cayenne? no my dude, I am doubling that shit

[@TheeBurgerDude]

My dude! 😎👍🏼

[@95bsv]

msg all the way

[@alexanderaIeV]

I know this may be dumb or extra work but hear me out DINO NUGGETS

[@YourGoodPalKal]

msg is not in McD's national menu anymore Not that they make health conscious food lol

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

The tofu block I used was great for one freeze, not two (as I found out after, I needed one a little firmer than the brand common to my areas). Half of it was perfect for shredding, but the other half of the block crumbled into very tiny bits. So, after dredging the good half, I just threw the rest of it in the liquid, added more flour, and shaped two, large "patties". They turned out pretty good (but make sure to fry them longer so the flour on the inside is fully done), but the good nuggets were better. Either way, this recipe turned out INCREDIBLE, and the only issue was the tofu I selected.
