How to Reheat Chicken Nuggets In The Oven/Toaster Oven
That’s right, if you want to have these chicken nuggets reheated properly, then the oven is by far the best option. It will take a couple of minutes, but best believe it is the way to go as it will definitely have this bite-sized nuggets steaming hot, as well as crunchy and crispy.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Place the Chick-fil-A nuggets on a cookie/baking sheet
Cover with foil
Place in oven for 15-20 minutes
Take out and enjoy, nom-nom. Hopefully you have some left over dipping sauces to really make it a proper meal.
Reheating Them In a Non-Stick Frying Pan
You can get it done a bit quicker if you reheat the Chick Fil A nuggets on the stovetop in a non-stick pan.
Refrying fried foods is not the best, but if you don’t have the time to wait on the oven, then pan frying is not a bad way to reheat.
Steps
Add a small amount of butter, olive oil or cooking spray to a heated frying pan
Throw in the nuggets from Chick-fil-A and keep turning them till thoroughly heated.
Remember not to burn them, as you will be pretty bummed out if you do.
Reheating Chick-Fil-A Nuggets in the Microwave (Not Really Recommended)
The microwave should be your last option and only done if you are totally desperate.
As we mentioned earlier, for fried foods to retain their crispy/crunchy exterior, it requires dry heat.
When microwaves heat up foods like fried chicken nuggets, the end result is that it comes out soggy and rubbery, not crispy and crunchy as you were expecting.
This is why the microwave is an absolute last option, but at least they will be piping hot.
