To prepare, these patties can be cooked in an oven, air fryer, or microwave. For best results and a crispy exterior, baking in a preheated oven or using an air fryer is recommended. Simply place the frozen patties on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket and cook according to package directions until heated through and golden brown. They can also be heated in the microwave for the fastest option, though the breading may be softer.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to unbreaded chicken breasts or cutlets, these patties are pre-seasoned and coated in a breading. This means they offer a different flavor and texture profile straight out of the package. The breading adds a savory crunch that is distinct from plain chicken.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining breaded chicken patties in an airtight container or resealable bag in the freezer. Ensure they are kept frozen until ready to cook. Proper storage helps maintain their quality and prevents freezer burn.
