Recipe you ask?  Simple.  Take it from the freezer, put in air fryer for 18 minutes.

Now, you may think I liked about making it from scratch, but that is the honest truth.  It comes in a package of two in a paper carton. The side of the carton had a long scratch on it and I used the one from that side, so, "from scratch"

I like the Creme Brie and Apple also.

Well, I'll give you 2/3rd a point for cooking it from frozen.

Okay is about it, but handy when you don't feel like real cooking.  I learned about them from a friends that is an excellent cook, but she also like the occasional shortcut.  They are BOGO this week so I stocked up.

 I was buying those things for my mother because she never did like to cook.  They're easy, and they taste pretty good.  She didn't have to try to cook from scratch.  The odd thing about them is some people don't realize the chicken is still raw.  This isn't (for example) pre-cooked breaded chicken nuggets that you can reheat in a microwave in a couple of minutes.  It has to be *cooked*, whether you're using an actual oven or an air fryer.  Mom wasn't fond of the idea.
