I can't understand why you don't have more than a million subscribers! The content is first class and of course the presenter seems to have the appeal of a close friend. Keep it coming my friend

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you kindly 😋 🙏

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

I think that the reason that this gentleman doesn’t have bigger following is because these reviews only interest people who can buy these items.I am an expat who left the UK 57 years ago, so it’s fun for me to see what you guys are eating now,it’s very different from what I ate as a child in the ‘40s, ‘50s,and early ‘60s.Anyway I love watching,so thank you.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha

[@marymungleandmidge4080]

75p is a bargain, but I always find a lot of these ‘chicken breast’ burgers are minced up chicken breast rather than a proper chicken breast fillet and the texture is very different. But I’ll certainly give them a go.

[@chriscringle7740]

Exsell chicken burgers from herons are like this, tasteless and no texture to them

[@smudger671]

@@mr.mistoffelees7188 It is indeed. Bit misleading calling them fillets IMO. Burger is more accurate.

[@MarlynMeehan]

@@mr.mistoffelees7188 Yes the important word is 'formed'. Just as the difference between the words 'chocolate covered' and 'chocolate flavoured coating'.

[@ktb9369]

I hate these frozen chicken products when it says product of Thailand. It just puts me off for some reason. They should put reformed in big as well.

[@alexdunlop9762]

I agree these products are often attempting to make you think it's a real whole piece of breast meat. That said, I don't think this is entirely about profit. As someone says chicken breasts are different sizes. Plus it's probably harder to get the coating to stick to a regular bit of meat. And even with the real thing, we'd probably say it was dry and under-seasoned.

[@stephenwood8453]

They are great chicken portions, I cook them in the Ninja Air Fryer and serve them in a brioche bun with some salad and a drizzle of Belizean chilli sauce, one of my favourites from Aldi.

[@Smithyfc17]

How long in the airfryer 😊

I always leave chicken to marinade in buttermilk, one of the few good ideas from the USA. No need for flour then eggwash then breadcrumbs - straight out of the buttermilk and into the crumbs. Delicious

[@Twixy55]

few good ideas? We have plenty

[@jackdubz4247]

Considering the way Aldi's suppliers "treat" their chickens, it's well documented for those with stronger stomachs than mine, I am not surprised that they are selling chicken burgers for that price.

[@juliathomas3657]

Hi gaz they do this same brand in the chicken thigh burgers but you get two and they are bigger and absolutely lovely £2.79 try them out x

You can't beat Aldi for cheap quality food. Their lasagne is amazing. My husband and I both love it!

You’ve convinced me, I normally shop at Lidl’s, but I think I might take a trip to Aldi’s😂

[@JustDaniel6764]

I was a Lidl man, but take the leap, join the Aldi massive. I promise you won't look back. Apart from Lidls little bakery bit.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Lidl is great for items that Aldi do not stock, for example genuine large German Bockwurst and Bratwurst. On the other hand, Aldi sells really good sausage (breakfast) patties. Gareth doesn't have a Lidl, though.

[@bebejohnston]

Thanks for that they looked tasty and a great price, ye can’t beat a bit of breaded chicken and it can be served in a Caesar salad or with potatoes and veg and a nice sauce ❤

[@ianmitchell4742]

Buttermilk isn't really to flavour it as a rule it's there to make the chicken moist and tender

[@susiewatts1982]

I've tried these but they take a hell of a Long time to cook and if you Leave them for Only two more minutes in the Oven then they become really hard ... but I've Finally got a Air fryer now so I could try and cook them in that mate Xx

I bought something similar from Aldi two weeks ago only 2 per pack for about £2.50 got to say they where lovely.

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

I will be having some of those, they look absolutely marvellous!

[@allanwright9681]

Fantastic honest reviews as always 👍. You should try the chicken jalfrezi from the fresh section in aldi , 460g curry only , £3.69 seems expensive but you know where that money went when you taste it . A very good restaurant standard . Paired up with the new pouches of naga naga rice , its perfection , perfect heat kick too. I'd love to see you review those together 😄

They looked lovely Gareth, i will definitely try them and they were a bargain pricewise as well . I think I would do them with chips and salad. Good review

Fabulous ❤ you should try the southern fry chicken fillet burger in Aldi the frozen section ,i slowly fry them and put them in a burger bun with lettuce tomato etc here in Ireland 4 euro

Sounds great!

[@Taz6688]

I much prefer it when you use a fork, when you grab the piece with your fingers, I panic, it's a nightmare trying to see if you chomped a finger or two, you don't hold back, I guess you paid a fair bit for the knashers, but they do look a bit lethal if you don't use a fork.

We need an Aldi in my area . Local people have been petitioning Aldi for about 4 years since the Tesco shut down .We just have a small overpriced Sainsbury's .

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Finglesham]

They seem a reasonably priced meal. Protein at a goo value. Add all the flours later. Great video.

[@gerrylewis5281]

75p per piece is a good price. My only concern is that they advertise on the front that they are chicken breast fillets, but on the reverse they claim formed chicken breast. Which basically means they are made from the off cuts. You can't really go wrong with chicken as it is a British favourite formant meals. Going back a few months I started buying whole chickens. I cut them into legs, thighs, wings and breasts. I usually get 4/5 meals from that. I also take the carcass and make chicken stock from it. I do not do this because I'm a cheapskate. I just like to know my food is not made from off cuts after seeing a video of how KFC was made from reformed chicken that was formed onto chicken bones. The only gripe that I have is that it's hard to find an outlet that includes the giblets.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good point Gerry. All the best pal 😊

[@nicolavallely8076]

These would be great with either roast or boiled potatoes with salad or veg. May the force be with you Gareth xx

I'm proper anul baldie boy, when I pre-heat the oven I leave the chosen cooking dish in to pre-heat also, plus when weighing anything on the scales I'll place a sheet of kitchen roll on top first Those burgers are cheaper than the 400g of fresh strawberries I just bought, not really any chance of us obese British loosing a bit of weight anytime soon lolz

[@toddoframsgate1393]

Thanks G. I got a chicken from Iceland, and as part of the 3 for £10 deal, on a Tuesday too so about £3. had half roasted then found a chicken burger recipe on YT. made 4 really nice burgers, big enough to freeze 2 of them.

[@chriswilcox8977]

Asda do some of these which are almost identical. The hot and spicy ones I think, are cheaper than Aldi too. Bernard Matthew’s are also taking on Birds Eye with some obvious turkey versions of Birds Eye larger chicken burgers and dippers….but at a way lower price.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Chris for the information 👍

[@Glenn7719]

Ive been buying these, pretty tasty in a bun with some cheese, lettuce and mayo. They are some other chunkier ones (chickin thigh burgers) which you only get two in a box, think they might even be a bit more expensive than these.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Sounds great!

[@terrywoodcock8468]

"Formed" is an important word it implies they are not real chicken breast but minced up chicken, it often happens with scampi too, nevertheless they might be good value and tasty 😋

[@mrsplumbridge4888]

Ahhhh you see it went down hill for me when you said the word formed Chicken 😬 eeek! Can I just say that we love the Morrison's take away range southern fried chicken breast burgers, try them I'd be really interested to see what you think?

Stick that in a bun with sauce of choice and perhaps some of 'that' food 'stolen' from the guinea pigs and taking the cost to around £1 per person - not bad at all. Sling a few sausages and burgers on the bbq - with some chips in the oven and you're away for a great afternoon summer treat. Excellent value.

[@nolavout3025]

Defo gonna try them, especially the buttermilk ones good value too

[@MickCampin-jp9kb]

My halogen oven has died after about 7 years but it did get some hammer as I don't like using the oven or hob or tbh the microwave unless I have to. It was worth the £25 when I got it new so I'm expecting possibly £30- £40 for a new one. As soon as it arrives I will be heading to Aldi on a shopping trip .

[@eadweard.]

My autism demands I put all things like these into identical, transparent, zip lock bags, and throw out all the boxes. The upside is that I don't have to struggle with a variety of "tab systems" and can enjoy myself by destroying the boxes as I open them :)

I always find that with the Aldi and Lidl coated fish and chicken, the coating often falls off when cooking. Oddly, other supermarket own brand and branded don’t.

so £7.50 a KG of which you get 620g of chicken and 380g of coating. but thats before the 10% water loss. so really you need to spend £8.25 a KG to get the meat and coating to be 1kg. when looking at them the butter ones did look nicer.
