THIS joins forces with Brewdog to release plant-based chicken wings
Plant-based meat producer THIS has teamed up with UK-based brewery Brewdog to develop ‘THIS isn’t chicken wings’. They are, according to THIS, Europe’s first skin-on vegan chicken wings. The wings will be available at all Brewdog bars, hotels and restaurants for 25p per wing across the whole of January.
The wings, which are made of soy and pea protein, are coated with a seaweed-based crispy skin, and have olive oil dispersed throughout to improve texture. Unlike other vegan chicken analogues, these wings replicate the darker cuts of the bird, which texture-wise are very different. The wings are served with buffalo, Korean BBQ or dragon spice sauce.
“Ironically, the launch of this product has been the opposite of winging it, with over a year of R&D. They are probably the meatiest product we’ve ever launched and genuinely very unique - even Red Bull can’t give you these,” said THIS co-founder Andy Shovel.
