Yay Donna! My family devours these :)Thanks for the great review!
Super easy to make and very good! A keeper for sure!
How long would you cook in a air fryer?
How long in an air fryer? Fresh or frozen’😊
Sure, that would work fine Iesha 🙂
Could I make the chicken in the instant pot instead of my crockpot?
I want to make tonight but it’s too late for the slow cooker 😆
I updated baking directions from frozen in the notes 🙂
Hi, how do you cook them from frozen?
Woohoo Corinne!
I have made these twice now and they are SO good.
