chicken & apple balls & bang bang chicken

[BubblesDeVere]

I have just made some home made nuggets and they have gone down a storm, so i have gone through the recipes on site and wondered, can you freeze bang bang chicken and the chicken balls before freezing?

Also, I am going to make burgers for the first time and wondered, what sort of stuff should i add, my kids aren't too keen on spicy food.

brilliant thank you very much. now about the chicken and apple balls.

Bubbles, I'm planning to make the chicken and apple balls tonight and intend to freeze them uncooked. The recipe doesn't give any guidance but I think it should be fine.

so long as the chicken you use is fresh and not pre frozen, you can freeze both recipes uncooked.

[gingerbear]

i.e. you didn't defrost the chicken before you used it.

flour hands and shape into 10 gol fball sized balls.
