- Quick lunch option

To prepare, heat them in an oven, air fryer, or microwave until thoroughly heated. For best results, an oven or air fryer is recommended to achieve a crispy exterior. They can be served plain with dipping sauces or incorporated into more complex dishes. Consider adding them to pasta, wraps, or grain bowls for a complete meal. Ensure they are heated to a safe internal temperature before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike breaded chicken nuggets, these are grilled, meaning they typically have a more pronounced char flavor and a less crispy coating. The absence of breading also makes them a different textural experience, often appearing more like actual pieces of grilled chicken.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in a tightly sealed container or the original packaging in the freezer. Ensure they remain frozen until ready for preparation to maintain quality and safety. Avoid refreezing once thawed.
