I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren't chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it's not like I haven't eaten a chicken nugget in years, they are legit. Definitely recommend trying them if you are trying to cut your meat consumption or even if you are just curious.

They make animal shaped and spicy versions too

I have a pack of these in my freezer and I was thinking of air-frying them, chopping them up, and adding them to a mu shu gai pan or rice stir fry. Think that would work well?

Not OP, but IME the breading tends to fall off when they're chopped and moved around a bunch, but if you mix sliced air fried ones in at the very end that'd probably turn out pretty well.
