Thaw hamburger buns according to directions on package. 

2.

CHICKEN PATTIES:

Place the frozen chicken patties on a sheet pan (18" x 26"  x 1") that has been sprayed with food release spray or lined with parchment paper.
Bake the patties according to the package directions. Overcooking will cause the patties to be dry. (Prepare in batches to maintain quality.)

Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for at least 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

3.

Cover pan with aluminum foil. Cut holes in foil and place in warmer until ready for assembly. 

CCP: Hold in warmer at 135 degrees F or higher until ready for assembly. 

4.

SANDWICH ASSEMBLY: 

-Place 24 bottom parts of hamburger buns on each sheet pan, 4 down and 6 across. 

-Place the cooked chicken patties on the buns. Cover with the top part of the buns. 

-Sandwiches may also be wrapped in deli paper, waxed paper, foil sheets, plastic wrap or placed in sandwich bags. 

-Place each sandwich on steamtable pans (12"x 20"x 2 1/2") lined with pan liners. 

-Prepare the sandwiches in batches to maintain quality. Serve immediately or cover the pan with a lid, foil or plastic wrap. If foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the pan in warmer until ready for service. 

CCP: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher. 

5.

 Portion 1 sandwich for each serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate and 3 oz. eq. whole grains. 

CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher.
Check temperature every 30 minutes. Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. Leftover assembled sandwiches do not have good quality when reheated. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded.
