Quick is definitely good, because you are going to want to dig into these Hot Pocket-like snacks ASAP! Each chicken bake includes a combination of tender pieces of breast meat, mozzarella, parmesan, AND provolone cheese.

Once you try air frying Costco chicken bakes you are sure to keep a few boxes stocked in your freezer at all times! They are a delicious and satisfying snack, lunch or dinner dish to eat on their own. Or pair these bakes with Mediterranean-style sides for an even heartier meal the whole family will love.

Serving suggestions

Enjoy a freshly air fried chicken bake by itself for a satisfying snack. But for an extra layer of creaminess and flavor, consider serving each bake with a ramekin of Caesar dressing for dipping. Or serve them more like a calzone with a side of marina or cheesy Alfredo sauce!

These bakes pack a lot of protein and comfort food coziness in every serving. This includes oodles of cheesiness tucked inside a thick pizza dough-like wrap. Want to make it a full and also slightly more well-balanced meal? Serve Costco chicken bakes warm from the air fryer with vegetable side dishes or a fresh crisp salad.

For a complete hearty meal to feed the family you might include an Italian-inspired pasta, rice, or potato side dish on the table as well. The Caesar dressing and combination of parmesan and mozzarella cheese are great to pair with spaghetti or other noodles and your favorite pasta sauce!

Frequently asked questions

Are frozen Costco chicken bakes precooked?

Yes, the chicken bakes are fully cooked before they are frozen and packaged. But like all chicken products, each bake needs to be reheated to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees to be considered safe to eat.

Can you reheat and eat Costco chicken bake the next day?

It will not taste quite as fresh. However, yes, you can reheat a leftover chicken bake a day or two after cooking. Place it on a baking sheet and reheat for 8-10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Or reheat them in the air fryer for 5-8 minutes at 320 degrees.

Are Costco frozen chicken bakes as good as fresh ones?

Personally, I think they taste way better cooked at home! Air frying chicken bakes from frozen means you are getting the freshest possible product. The chicken bakes they serve at the Costco foodcourt are also prepared from frozen. But those are already baked and sitting around waiting to be served.

How many Costco chicken bakes can you cook in the air fryer?

You can fit up to two chicken bakes at one time in an air fryer. Make sure to give each a bit of space so they do not touch.
