You don't say how you're cooking them!. If you are baking them, try turning the heat up in the oven 25 degrees more than usual!. Be sure that the pan is lightly greased!.
If you're deep frying them, just keep them in the fryer longer than usual!.
And either way you cook them, be sure to blot them dry with paper towels to get the oil off!. Keeping the oil on will leave them wimpy and wilted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
