A method of making a cooked food product having a fried appearance comprises assembling a food product having a weight of approximately 1 to 4 ounces (28.3 to 113.4 grams). The food product is heated with microwave energy at a frequency of approximately 800 to 3000 MHz, at a power of approximately 0 to 50 Watts per ounce (28.3 grams) of product, and for approximately 0 to 80 seconds. The food product is coated with a coating layer to form a coated food product. The coated food product is heated in an impingement oven at a temperature of approximately 400 to 600° F. (200 to 325° C.) for less than approximately 140 seconds to form the cooked food product with a fried appearance.
