Good stuff, Jeremy! I’ve never liked left-over fried chicken because it’s never anywhere near as good as the day it was fried, but your directions were spot on. It’s worth the 20 minute wait for crispy, crunchy outside, and moist and tender inside. Thank you!!

The best way is a hybrid of two methods. Letting chicken sit out to warm at room temperature is the worst thing you can do to it, from a food safety perspective, and slow. Set the oven to preheat to 375F. While it is heating, microwave the chicken until lukewarm – you just want to “take the chill off it,” as they say, so you may as well do it the safe, quick way. (I can’t give you an exact time due to variances in microwave ovens, and I don’t know how much chicken you have.) Then pop it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. This way you’ll end up with as few bacteria and nasties as possible and chicken that is both crispy and warmed all the way through – no soggy breading or cold center – without having to wait an hour.
