"For those who haven't had the pleasure yet, a chicken bake is essentially an elevated Hot Pocket, a sort of calzone that is stuffed with chicken, bacon, three kinds of cheese, green onion, and the secret ingredient that pulls it all together: Caesar dressing. Packed inside a crispy, flavorful crust, the chicken bake is hard to beat and perfectly suited to the air fryer."
"Kirkland Signature Chicken Bakes are meant to be cooked at home in the oven or microwave, but we all know what that means. It'll be edible, sure, but will it live up to the standards of the ones you get fresh from the food court? Not a chance. When our taste tester compared both chicken bakes, the frozen one did not match up to the food court version. But they tried a toaster oven baked one."
"For that perfectly crispy exterior crust with the gooey, melty inside, 20 minutes in an air fryer is the ticket to a perfect chicken bake. Set the air fryer for 360 degrees Fahrenheit, and let it preheat for a couple of minutes. Then you just need to put the chicken bake in the air fryer basket. A little spray of oil might he"
Costco's food court gained attention for its $1.50 hot dog, but the chicken bake stands out as a top menu item. The chicken bake resembles an elevated Hot Pocket or calzone filled with chicken, bacon, three cheeses, green onion, and Caesar dressing. Kirkland Signature Chicken Bakes are also sold frozen for home cooking. Oven or microwave methods produce acceptable results but lack the texture of fresh food-court bakes. Air frying at 360°F for about 20 minutes yields a crispy exterior and gooey, melty interior that more closely matches the fresh version. A light spray of oil can improve crust crispness.
