Hello everyone welcomes back to Multipik. Today we're going to tackle the challenge of how to reheat fried chicken? Of course, we're talking about restoring that crispy crackling. Crunch anyone can reheat soggy wet chicken right and we're going to test KFC chickens. Since everyone knows that once so Cook’s Illustrated published a method. That’s supposed to work very well and I had tested the method and decided. It wasn’t quite up to par so I did some more testing and found. What I believe is the very best way in fact I was rather shocked to discover that. If done properly it restored the crunch even better than the original. Now I know that’s a bit far out so let's take a look at how it works first let's take a look at Cook's illustrated method. Their method calls for a room-temperature chicken. That is then reheated to an internal temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. They do that in the other here I've taken the fried chicken out of the fridge.
It's still not quite a room temperature but it's pretty close
and you'll see in the later testing wine. They should make any real difference
I’m poking holes in the saran wrap steaming me. Outside with obviously not made
for great chicken now the key thing to use is a probe thermometer. How to reheat fried chicken? If you
don’t have that then you could periodically check with a meat thermometer but
the probe makes it so much. Easier and remember the target internal temperature
is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. So we're going to get started on the timer I set it
to a long duration because it doesn't matter. We'll come back before it runs out
okay great the internal temperature is 120 and we’re ready to test the crunch.
And the flavor and you know what it's actually pretty good the skin looks and
feels pretty crunchy. And I know it's pretty hard to tell in a blog but I'm
pretty satisfied with the skin. And that's for the meat inside it's pretty ok
so after this first test.
I got to thinking what if we had put the chicken in the freezer. Yeah that's right that might sound crazy at first but staying with me first the logic goes like this. This is the inside of the chicken is frozen that would give us more time in the oven. To crisp up the skin without overcooking the inside right the meat will stay cool or longer. And the longer temperature time will further evaporate. How to reheat fried chicken? The moisture of the skin making for an even better crunch so you know what let's put that. To the test here you can see that the chicken is frozen you can see the frozen crystals on the skin. And I can't even get that thermometer inside to test the temperature. So let's try putting this in the oven but we have a problem because the chicken is frozen. How do we use a probe thermometer what I did was cook the chicken by itself for 10 minutes. The temperatures stayed the same at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. So the first stage is defrosting the chicken enough to insert the probe geez sounds.
Like we're talking about a UFO abduction anyways once the
chicken was defrosted. Input in the probe and set the alarm for120 degrees
Fahrenheit. So let's continue cooking and we'll come back when it’s ready okay.
There goes the alarm we're going to take out the probe and get it ready to test
the chicken. What I noticed immediately is that the crunch is better the longer the cooking time has taken. Out of the moisture from the skin, I can even hear the clash
that's what I meant. When I said it might be even better than the original now
before. You go let me give you some advice it’s best to reheat chicken of the
same size. A wing will obviously heat up faster than the breast or if you need
to do different sizes. Put the probe thermometer in the smallest piece and then
come back to do the bigger pieces. Continue reheating the larger pieces as you
take out the smaller ones.
At What Temperature Do You Reheat Fried Chicken?
Welcome back to Multipik, I love fried chicken. The topic of
today is at what temperature do you
reheat fried chicken? But if I fire up the fryer and make the whole house
smelly crease my wife. He will get angry and may kill me while I sleep. So I'll
save myself the aggravation I head out to the supermarket and grab an
eight-piece. I split the bag and let these cool down for about a half-hour now
into the fridge for a couple more hours bag it. Freeze it so next time you're
in the mood for fried chicken let it fall in the fridge overnight.
When it's time heat the oven to 350 degrees line your pan
breast and thigh meat side down for ten minutes. At ten minutes twist flip add the
wings and the leg five minutes after 5 minutes twist flip. The wing and the
lake five more minutes to chomp. At
what temperature do you reheat fried chicken? I'm done I’m hungry thank you
for your time Cheers what is the best way to reheat fried chicken? You must
have ordered too much because whenever end up with leftover fried chicken. If
you need to heat it up from the fridge, put it on a cookie sheet and cook for
20 minutes at 350 degrees. What about reheating fried chicken from room temp?
If the chicken has cooled from room temp and it has only been that way for an
hour. Like leaving it on the table before you finally sit down to eat, you can
reheat it in five minutes in a toaster oven. And if it has been out longer,
then what? Throw it out so you don’t get food poisoning. We leave pizza out a
lot and can eat it the next day.
If anyone is sick, it is from their hangover, not the pizza.
Ideally, you wouldn’t be eating the pizza the next day. But to be frank,
chicken grows germs faster than cheese. Microwaving it might be faster than
putting it in the oven. What do you think of that? Faster yes, crispy, no. at what temperature do you reheat fried
chicken? If you nuke it, the juices inside will start to boil out and steam
the skin. Resulting in soggy skin. And dry meat. Can you refry it? If you have
a fryer, why not make more fried chicken? Laziness. Oh, and if you’re putting
the fried chicken in the oven to reheat, be sure to wrap it in foil so it
doesn’t dry out. Whereas foil in the microwave will cause it to blow up. No,
just short out. How do you know? My little brother was too lazy to remove the
foil before trying to reheat food. The sparks were impressive until the
microwave started smoking. At least I’ve never done that.
Can I Reheat Fried Chicken In My Air Fryer?
For working moms and for all of you out there who are looking into uneasy prep foods arts and crafts sewing. So today I’m going to tell you one of my favorites I’m going to tell you.

Let me tell you how easy it is now this method is for KFC that's been sitting in the fridge. And it's cold why you have leftover KFC. Who knows why now this is for those really big thick pieces of chicken that have got lots of meat on them. So we'll just stick it in the air fryer okay so if the chicken is really big and thick. You probably want to set it for about 12 minutes and we'll set it to a hundred and twenty degrees Celsius. Now 120 degrees Celsius is 250 degrees Fahrenheit angels.
So about 12 minutes for those really thick pieces or you can
drop it down. To about 9 for a small piece like a wing a leg I'd probably do
for about 11 minutes. And it's not just for KFC you can use it for any old
chicken that's been in the fridge. Can I

warm all right well the chickens are done and it will be hot. So you might want to
