I had these at Cheesecake Factory once and wanted to recreate them ever since. There’s no need to fry them, baking will taste just as yummy! I personally don’t like frying at home and always try to bake instead, it works well here, too!
Serve them with your favourite dipping sauce such as ranch, hot honey sauce or honey-mustard!
