I had to put these in the freezer after putting in fridge to marinade, due to an emergency. Can I thaw them? Dip in hot sauce and butter and still cook?
Raquel
I would cook then in an air fryer or oven if you can. I would not thaw them first as they may get soggy. Instead spread then on foil prior to baking. Hope all is ok.
