To prepare, you can heat the chicken in your oven or microwave. For oven preparation, spread the frozen chicken pieces on a baking sheet and heat according to package directions until thoroughly heated and the breading is crisp. If using a microwave, arrange the pieces on a microwave-safe plate and heat until hot. It is important to ensure the chicken is heated through before serving. The breading will become crispier when heated in an oven.
How it differs from similar foods

Homemade versions involve raw chicken, breading preparation, and frying, which takes more time and effort. This frozen option is designed for speed and ease of use.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused, heated chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days. Unheated frozen chicken should remain in its original packaging and be kept in the freezer until ready for preparation.
