Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fried Chicken leftover, already cooked
- Olive Oil Spray
Instructions
- Bring the chicken to room temperature by allowing it to sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer using the preheat function or at 350ºF/175ºC for 5 minutes.
- Once preheated, spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and place the chicken in a single layer. Spray the chicken very lightly with olive oil spray.
- Cook the chicken at 360ºF/180ºC for 5** minutes. Then flip the chicken and cook it for an additional 2-5** minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF/74ºC. (See note below for cook times for various cuts of chicken)
- Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can use this method for reheating any type of fried chicken– just make sure to adjust the cooking time according to the information below.
- Olive oil spray helps add a bit more moisture and crunch back into the coating of the fried chicken. If you are using a chicken that is sauced (such as with BBQ or buffalo), just brush it lightly with more sauce instead of using olive oil spray.
