Maybe I’d change my mind and become a chicken strip lover, too!

Here’s how each brand fared, ranked from my least favorite to the absolute best strip.

They baked to a dark brown color and when I bit in, I found they were completely flavorless.

These strips could have been chicken or even fish sticksthey tasted like nothing at all.

Biting in, I tasted mostly breading.

The meat was not tender and tasted more like chicken parts than juicy breast.

These strips are described as “fritters with rib meat, made with white meat chicken.”

“Perfect for those quick meals for the family,” wrote one online reviewer.

The coating had a bit of a floury taste but the meat was tender, white, and juicy.

I surprised myself by going back for a second (and third) bite!
