What Are Impossible Chicken Nuggets Made Of?

Impossible Chicken Nuggets are plant-based and made with soy protein. Cooked in the air fryer, their texture closely resembles traditional chicken nuggets. They also contain sunflower oil and a blend of seasonings. The outside coating is made up of wheat flour, which crisps up nicely in the air fryer. The result is a tender chicken-like nugget with a crunchy, golden brown outside.
