What it is

To prepare, these chicken pieces can be heated in an oven, air fryer, or microwave. For best results, an oven or air fryer is recommended to maintain crispiness. Spread the pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Heat until they are warmed through and the coating is crisp. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to ensure even heating. They are ready to serve once heated.
