Does not have all the oil from frying!! Gosh, no way to edit the comments after you hit the submit button!! help!
Made this last night – it was fast and pretty tasty. I like the crisp outside and the soft inside. I used a granulated Roasted Garlic – I did not care for the strong flavor of that kind of garlic, next time plain garlic, I did not think that would be a huge difference, it was a little too strong for me. But we put a sauce on it and it was tasty – I will try it again – love that it do not have all the oil from frying!!
