Recipe Tips!
• Use a rotisserie chicken, always my go-to when I dont have any leftover chicken.

Yes, add the egg wash before freezing.
Do you put egg wash on the uncooked dough (top crust) if you are freezing it?

Where do you buy your mini pie pans?
I wouldn't let them sit longer than 24 hours in the refrigerator without baking or freezing them.
