Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use any flavor potato toppers- try sour cream and onion or taco flavored.
  • tip 2
    Tip: Coat chicken, with zero mess! Seal chicken, seasonings and breadcrumbs inside a freezer bag and shake for perfectly covered, crispy results. More smart freezer bag tips.
