Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n

Last night I tried Gardein’s Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n – “Quick & Easy! Better Than Takeout! Ready In Only 8 Minutes!” I like many Gardein products, but … It really is quick and easy (although it took me a little longer than 8 minutes). You simply heat some oil in a pan, add the chick’n… Read More ›
