
Toprepare"fried"menuitemsintheQuikn’Crispy,thefoodsselectedmust

rolls,corndogs,beerbatteredortempurabatteredvegetablesandbattered
cheesesticksaretypicallyfryableorbakeable.SeasonedorcoatedFrenchfriesor

theQuikn'Crispycrispontheoutsideandmoistontheinsideasiftheywere

mustbeabakeableversion.ToprepareshoestringorcrinklecutFrenchfries,or


MenuitemspreparedintheQuikn'Crispythatdonothavebakingdirections


Topreparebreadeditemssuchaschickennuggetsandchickenstripseithera

interioroftheproductisraw.Fullycookedmeansthattheproductiscookedon
boththeoutsideandtheinterior.Youcannotprepareready‐to‐cookitemsthat
haveawhitebreadingontheoutside.Theywillcook,buttheywillnotturn
goldenbrownintheQuikn'Crispy.

TogrillfoodsintheQuikn'Crispy,youshouldusepre‐cookedorfullycooked
meat,poultry,orfishproducts.Asanexample,hotdogsandsomesausagesare
