How To Reheat Chicken In An Air Fryer

Jump to Recipe

Reheating Chicken can be tricky sometimes. You want it to be heated evenly without drying it out or making it rubbery. Sometimes it even sticks to the pan, and to avoid that, you need to add oil to the pan. Thankfully, the air fryer is here to save you from all these. An air fryer cooks food by circulating hot air around the food, which results in nicely heated food with its juiciness intact.

Air frying is an excellent tool for reheating Chicken. It has several advantages over other methods, such as using a pan, microwaving, or oven heating. It’s not only quicker than another method, but also it will taste the same as the newly cooked one. And no other method can return its crispiness along with its juicy interior other than an air fryer. So, next time when you need to reheat Chicken, skip the messy, oily, or long wait to reheat it in the oven and go straight for the air fryer.

Why You Will Love His Recipe?

An air fryer is a very useful tool that can reheat a variety of foods, including Chicken. You can use it to reheat rotisserie chicken, fried Chicken grilled Chicken, or baked Chicken, and it will still come out great.

Keeps original Taste Intact: Using an air fryer to reheat Chicken is a great way to bring back the original taste and flavor of the dish. When you use a microwave to reheat, it loses its flavor and becomes bland. However, an air fryer retains the flavor of the Chicken and becomes even more delicious because the hot air causes the seasoning to permeate deeper into the meat.

Healthier: An air fryer is a healthier way of reheating Chicken compared to microwaving and heating it in the oven.

How Does An Air Fryer Work?

An air fryer is basically a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. An air fryer cooks with oil rather than oil.

An Air fryer has a heating element on top that circulates hot air through a fan around your food. This makes your food crispy from the outside, keeping the juiciness and moistness on the inside.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

Leftover Chicken:  any type of Chicken can be reheated in the air fryer. Be it whole roasted Chicken, Grilled Chicken, or even baked Chicken.

Oil (optional): you don’t need to use oil to reheat Chicken in the air fryer. But if you still feel like applying oil, you can simply brush some oil on the Chicken with a pastry brush before reheating the Chicken.

How To Reheat Chicken In An Air Fryer?

For complete instructions, see the recipe box.

Preparation: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for a few minutes. You can skip this step and reheat the Chicken. But this step ensures even cooking. Place liners carefully, as the air basket will be hot due to preheating.

Put Chicken In The Basket: Place the leftover Chicken in the basket. Do not place too many pieces at once; otherwise, it will give you unevenly cooked Chicken.

Cook: Cook the Chicken for 7-8 minutes or until they are reheated according to your preference. Flip it halfway through cooking to make sure that they are reheated on all the sides.

Chefs Tip For The Recipe

Tip For Storing

Store your Chicken properly. It is important to store the Chicken properly in the refrigerator or freezer. Store your Chicken in a zip-lock bag or an air-tight container.

Bring Chicken To Room Temperature

Let your Chicken come to room temperature before reheating in the air fryer. This will help the Chicken to cook evenly in the air fryer.

Cook In Batches

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket by placing too many chickens at once. Place the Chicken in one single layer to ensure evenly reheated Chicken.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
