Thankfully, following this guide will make your leftover chicken tender and oh-so-flavorful (and check out the best chicken sandwiches from your favorite fast food restaurants while you’re at it).

How to Reheat Chicken in the Oven

Heating chicken up in the oven is a great method for bone-in or breaded chicken leftovers. After all, there’s nothing better than the crispy coating of fried chicken—and there’s no better way to. keep it crispy than to toss those leftovers in the oven. That’s right: Skip the microwave!

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F

You want the oven to heat up fully before you attempt to reheat the chicken. Your food cooks faster in a preheated oven!

Step 2: Fit a wire rack over a baking sheet

Take your chicken out of the fridge; let it come to room temp. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer on a wire rack fitted over a baking sheet.

This setup allows the hot air in the oven to circulate all around the chicken (unlike when it’s on top of a foil-lined baking sheet). This will help create a super-crispy crust.

Step 3: Bake for 15 minutes

The internal temp of reheated chicken should still be 165°. You can check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer.

How to Reheat Chicken on the Stove

Reheating chicken on the stove is best for meat that has been removed from the bone, like a recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breast, or leftover rotisserie chicken.

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

For a boneless, skinless chicken breast, slice the meat into strips that are about an inch thick, and set aside. For a rotisserie chicken, pick the meat off the bone, and set it aside.

Step 2: Prep a skillet

Place a skillet over medium heat and add just enough water or chicken broth to cover the bottom.

Step 3: Cook the chicken

Once the water starts to simmer, add the chicken in a single layer. Lower the heat and stir the chicken until it’s nice and hot. Use the leftover chicken to top a salad, make wraps or serve with pasta and vegetables for a simple meal.

How to Reheat Chicken in an Air Fryer

Your air fryer is capable of making food that’s both crisp and healthy. That magical power makes this countertop appliance a secret weapon for reheating takeout fare—like chicken wings.

Step 1: Prep the chicken wings

First, let your chicken wings come to room temperature on the counter. Then, spray the wings with a light coating of nonstick spray. (The Taste Recipes Test Kitchen uses PAM cooking spray.)

Step 2: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F

Place your wings in a single layer in the basket. Set the timer to bake for four minutes.

Step 3: Turn up the heat to 400°F

Then, bake the wings for another five minutes.

How to Reheat Chicken in the Microwave

It is possible to reheat chicken in the microwave with mouth-watering results (here’s a microwaved Parmesan chicken recipe to prove it). But before you zap those leftovers, remember that this method is best for non-breaded chicken.

Step 1: Arrange the chicken on a plate

Place the chicken in a single layer on a large, microwave-safe plate. You want to have smaller pieces of chicken near the center of the plate and bigger pieces near the edge. This is the secret to properly using a microwave!

Step 2: Add oil and water

Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and a teaspoon or two of water over the chicken. This will help keep the meat moist. (You can also use water and salsa or chicken broth for extra flavor.)

Step 3: Cover the chicken and reheat

Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap and heat for two minutes. If the chicken isn’t hot enough, flip it over and heat 30-second intervals.

Recipes to Make with Your Leftover Chicken

Creamy Chicken EnchiladasMy daughter has the best sour cream and cream cheese chicken enchiladas recipe I've ever tried. She brought 10 pans of it to my wedding reception and they were the biggest hit of all the food. So many guests wanted the recipe, we sent it out with our Christmas cards. —Pat Coffee, Kingston, Washington

Go to Recipe

One of our most popular chicken dinners ever, these creamy enchiladas are easy to make at home. Layer a 13x9-inch pan with tortillas stuffed with leftover chicken, cream cheese and spices, then pour over a quick enchilada sauce. Feel free to add or subtract chiles, or vegetables like chopped peppers or corn.

BBQ Chicken SandwichesImagine a barbecue chicken sandwich so delicious you can hardly wait to have it again. Well, here it is: Our recipe features a delightful homemade sauce and uses shredded cooked chicken to save you time.

Go to Recipe

Leftover chicken is a natural fit for sandwiches. These saucy sammies are so easy to toss together, even though they use a homemade sauce (though you can swap in one of our favorite store-bought BBQ sauces). Serve with a quick side of canned or frozen corn.

Quick Chicken and DumplingsIf there's anything better than chicken and dumplings, it's quick and easy chicken and dumplings. This recipe fits the bill, coming together in just 30 minutes.

Go to Recipe

Rather than making dumplings from scratch, this recipe calls for a quick substitute: frozen biscuits. The buttery, savory biscuits soften as they soak up the sauce, giving them a squishy, dumpling-like texture (and plenty of flavors).

Spicy Chicken and Bacon MacThe heat in our spicy mac and cheese comes from Cajun seasoning, pepper jack cheese and chopped jalapeno. To turn things up a notch, add hot sauce to the bechamel!

Go to Recipe

This hearty mac and cheese recipe is a cozy dinner on a cool night. Adding cubed chicken and bacon to the creamy noodles transforms the bowl from a kid's menu go-to to a grown-up treat. If you like to have green on the table, serve with a side salad or steamed broccoli.

Go to Recipe

This recipe pulls out all the creative stops! Savory toppings turn bread pudding into a totally acceptable dinner recipe. Swapping corn muffin mix for plain bread adds tons of flavor. Chicken and BBQ sauce are a hearty filling, while cut-up apples add sweetness and crunch.
