Look, we love a good labor-intensive appetizer and all, but sometimes relaxation is the best ingredient in a crowd-pleasing poppable. Our take on pigs in a blanket—cozily monikered Chicks in a Quilt—are as chill to make as they are delicious. Just grab our Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage, a package of crescent-roll dough, and a little egg wash. Roll, wrap, brush, repeat. Consider this your kitchen ASMR and a great way to get little hands involved in prepping your holiday spread.

Throw in a little maple-dijon sauce and you’re good to go with an appetizer that works just as well on a breakfast board as it does at a Thanksgiving feast. Even better? They’re freezer-friendly, so you can prep them now and bake them straight from frozen when the holiday chaos hits.

Pro tip: This is a gateway recipe. Once you’ve mastered it (which won’t take long), try making our chewy pretzel bites—which are just as easy and pair perfectly with creamy beer cheese sauce.
