Chicken Club Brunch RingAnyone make it at shows?

Show outline?
How do you cook the 4 slices of bacon? Can they be done one the small bar pan in the micro? I've never done bacon on stoneware before...
 
I have cooked bacon in the microwave on the small bar pan and it worked okay.

I really loved bacon cooked in the oven in the bar pan. Cook at 425 F for 15 - 18 minutes. I usually just tell the story of how good bacon is when cooked in the bar pan and they always sell. If they see you cooking it in the bar pan, you will sell a bunch of them.
 
this was one of the first recipes i ever made at my shows! love it! I cut the bacon into small pieces with the Kitchen Shears and then cook it on the stove in out non-stick cookware.
 
When I've done this, I've asked the hostess to have the bacon cooked already.

there is nothing like the smell of feshly cooked bacon except maybe freshly brewed coffee!
 
I cook it in the microwave in the small bar pan. It WOW's people and then I tell them if they need to make a larger amount they can avoid the mess by cooking the whole pound in the oven on the large bar pan.

During cookware sale months I would probably cook it on the stove top with the splatter screen...

How long in the micro for 4 slices?

About 4 minutes. I do 2 minutes and then check every minute until it's as crispy as I want it.

It took about 6 minutes last week when I did 6 slices so I guess 1 minute per slice is a good measure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need to make a Chicken Club Brunch Ring?

To make a Chicken Club Brunch Ring, you will need cooked chicken, bacon, cream cheese, shredded cheese (like cheddar), green onions, and refrigerated crescent roll dough. You can also add seasonings like garlic powder and pepper for extra flavor.

How do I prepare the chicken for the Chicken Club Brunch Ring?

Cook the chicken by boiling, baking, or grilling it until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will help it mix well with the other ingredients and fit nicely into the crescent rolls.

What is the best way to assemble the Chicken Club Brunch Ring?

Start by preheating your oven according to the crescent roll package instructions. Lay the crescent roll triangles in a circle on a baking sheet, overlapping the edges. Spread the cream cheese mixture in the center, then layer the chicken, bacon, cheese, and green onions. Fold the triangles over the filling, tucking them in to create a ring shape.

How long should I bake the Chicken Club Brunch Ring?

Bake the Chicken Club Brunch Ring for about 25-30 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning, and you can cover it with foil if needed during the last few minutes of baking.

Can I make the Chicken Club Brunch Ring ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the ring ahead of time. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just be aware that the dough may not be as flaky if it sits too long before baking, so try to bake it within a few hours for the best results.
