To prepare, these chicken pieces can be heated in an oven or an air fryer until they are golden brown and crispy. For oven preparation, spread the frozen pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until heated through. An air fryer offers a faster cooking time and can result in an extra-crispy exterior. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated before serving to guarantee food safety and optimal texture.
