The Secret To Reheating Fried Chicken

Everyone loves fried chicken. It doesn't matter if it came from KFC or your own kitchen, a perfectly fried, crispy drumstick is irresistible. With everything that goes into a really good plate of fried chicken, it deserves all of the respect you can give it – and that includes the leftovers, where so many things can, and will, go wrong.

The fridge is the arch-enemy of anything breaded and fried, making once-crispy things soggy and damp and making tender meat tough. But it's not impossible to bring that fried chicken back to life, good as new! So what's the secret to reheating fried chicken?

What's the best fried chicken you've ever had?

skip to 1:35 for the ATK method. 30min at room temp at possible, then put it on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. 400° for ~15min

If it’s bone cold, I just microwave for 30 secs to warm and moist it. It also heats the inside more. Then oven for 10 mins to crisp it again. Taste almost fresh again.

I use my Air Fryer and it’s great! I love it 🙂

Our best method is 1-2 mins in the microwave to heat the inside, then reheat 15 mins at 325 in the toaster oven. Similar tactics work on pizza and onion rings.

When putting leftover fried chicken in the fridge, wrap it up with paper towels. They'll absorb the excess moisture. I also like reheating it in my toaster oven.

Actually, you can warm your chicken partway (not completely) in the microwave, then air fry or stick it in the toaster oven to finish heating and crisp up in the quickest manner

Quit doing it in the oven, once we got our air fryer. Reheat French fries in your air fryer they come out tasting like thy are fresh from the restaurant 😋

Could have gotten to the point with what to do instead of wasting time with what not to do.

Fridge to air fryer at 400 for 8 minutes.

The best way to re heat fried chicken is to make chicken gravy and smother the chicken in a delicious gravy. Serve with whipped potatoes and green beans or hot white rice and broccoli as a side dish.

I don’t even reheat it and it taste way better

AIR FRYER METHOD: Leave cold chicken on counter for 15-30 minutes, air fry for 350 for 4 minutes.

I just put it on a cookie sheet at 400 in the oven for 10 mins or so, do not cover! After done heating put chicken on paper towel and get rid of extra grease then eat!

My Nana’s, Grandmother’s, and Mom’s southern fried chicken is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Hands down. Loving my new air fryer. 👍

I just use an air fryer and it makes them better than when I first got them

[MjoePta]

funny before i even watched this video i was planning on tryin the air fryer should do the job

[KontryBoy]

If you don’t have an air fryer you’re missing out

[carlbowles]

400 degrees for 20 minutes in toaster oven makes it moist on the inside and crispy outside. Microwaving ruins fried chicken every time.

Air fryer, 300 degrees, 8-10 minutes, flip half way thorugh, done.
