Fried chicken is a staple of happiness, especially when information technology'due south crispy, flavorful, and juicy. Fresh out of the oven, falling apart at the os, and contained merely past a layer of crunchy flakes: it's ecstasy in a Publix bag. Although it's succulent whatever fourth dimension, I decided to observe out how to reheat fried chicken considering the second solar day of soggy crusts and limp peel tin exist crude.

The audible crunch is missing, and the tear of meat from bone isn't as satisfying as the KFC commercials. The taste is still explosive, but it's dampened by a texture that wasn't in that location a solar day ago. To reheat my fried chicken, I tried a bones merely sensible method that isn't equally crazy as the online suggestions. Everything from placing craven in paper numberless to spraying information technology with PAM before broiling populate the Reddit threads and nutrient blogs.

However, as I don't take paper lunch numberless or PAM (I'm guessing most college students don't either), I needed something that was simple but effective.

Ovens and toaster ovens are fried craven's besties when it comes to reheating. It's like second day hair: you lot've got to load on the dry shampoo (in chicken'south case, the heat) so the oil and limpness magically disappear.
