Springrolls can be frozen then fried. For hors d'oevres make 'em smaller. I've seen people make small crabcakes, bread 'em, then pull out the day of.

bizarre as it seems, i was experimenting with spring rolls and found that chicken skins used instead of spring roll wrappers works just as well, using stuff like a mushroom duxelle with brunois chicken fillet, fried with garlic.

strange huh?

This is strange....especially since there have been a couple others talking about crispy chicken skin.....now there is a place for the skinless,boneless chicken breast's skin to go.
Sounds pretty good Nick!

We low-carbers love chicken skin...
Tiropites and spanakotiropites are tops on my list. I've made them in friends' homes for them to freeze and heat for parties, hundreds at a time. Around here they sell for $1 - $1.25 per piece, frozen, in a gourmet store. Let's just say I beat that price!
