Chicken bake

The bake was on the menu by May 2014, when Foodbeast described its Caesar-and-bacon filling. A Folsom, California kiosk photographed in September 2018 provides another dated appearance. These records predate the later fresh-versus-frozen comparison without establishing the original launch.

The table uses the serving printed on the January 2024 U.S. chart. It is separate from a reviewer’s 330 g kitchen-scale measurement and from Costco’s smaller frozen retail bake.

Dated prices are collected below: early reports and the Folsom kiosk precede the later Edison comparison and U.S. roundup. The roundup gives a report date; it does not date the purchase.

Zoe Strozewski compared a freshly purchased food-court bake with the boxed freezer version in her October 2024 review. Her samples weighed 330 g and 225 g respectively. She preferred the food-court crust and its filling’s flavor, although she found the finely chopped filling somewhat dry. Those tasting notes describe her own two samples.
