You can use these chipped pecans directly from the package in many recipes. For baking, they can be stirred into cookie dough, muffin batter, or quick bread mixtures. In savory dishes, they work well as a topping for roasted vegetables or as part of a breading for chicken or fish. They can also be toasted lightly in a dry skillet to bring out their nutty aroma and flavor before adding them to your creations. Their smaller size means they distribute evenly throughout your food.
