Description

Discover easy and tested methods to reheat rotisserie chicken, ensuring it stays tender and juicy. Learn how to warm up store-bought pre-cooked chicken without drying it out, perfect for quick meals and leftovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken
  • Broth (optional, for oven method)
  • Damp paper towel (optional, for microwave method)

Instructions

  1. Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Wrap the chicken tightly in foil and place in an oven-safe dish. Add a small amount of broth to the bottom of the dish. Heat for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This method is best for chicken meat and may result in soggy skin.
  2. Air Fryer Method: Preheat air fryer to 350°F (177°C). Place the whole chicken in the basket. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This method is fast and keeps the skin crispy.
  3. Microwave Method: Best for smaller portions or shredded chicken. Cover the chicken with a damp paper towel. Heat in short bursts of 10-15 seconds until warm. Be careful not to overcook.
  4. Stovetop Method: (Not detailed in provided text, but a common method) Place chicken in a saucepan with a small amount of liquid (broth or water). Cover and heat over low heat until warmed through.
  5. Instant Pot Method: (Not detailed in provided text) Place chicken on a trivet in the Instant Pot with about 1 cup of liquid. Seal and cook on high pressure for a short time (e.g., 0-2 minutes), followed by a quick release.
  6. Slow Cooker Method: (Not detailed in provided text) Place chicken in the slow cooker with a little liquid. Heat on low for 1-2 hours, or until warmed through.
  7. Grill Method: (Not detailed in provided text) Wrap chicken loosely in foil with a splash of liquid. Heat on medium-low heat on the grill until warmed through.

Notes

  • The oven method is recommended for tender, juicy meat but may make the skin soggy.
  • The air fryer method is quick and ideal if you want crispy skin.
  • The microwave method is fastest but best for smaller pieces and requires care to avoid overcooking.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe reheating.
