I prepared some three weeks ago and it was really good! Maybe yours were too old or not cooked long enough before frying them?

I did not cook them before frying them! And yeah they might have been too old.

You did not fry them, otoh? Cooked in water and did not use the water? Did they really taste like chicken?

I cocked them for 12 minutes in salted water, then added breadcrumbs + spices and fried them in a pan.

I didn't eat real chicken for years, so I can't compare side-by-side, but I'd say that the texture is really close and the flavor resembles chicken in a way, yes.

That's where you went wrong. Your not supposed to cock them.

Then, why would I want a substitute for chicken in the first place?
